Ordered both your books - I'll read them first so I understand and then give them to my friend, I have high hopes. He's not finding a place in the Democrats, and it seems so important to not leave him to the maga wolves he works with. I definitely recognize things he cares about in your writing.

I am too old for this, but too young to give up trying.

Reading "Good Without God," by Greg Epstein was helpful to me. I think you'll see yourself in the pages. ❤️

Tax credits for every square foot of lawn converted to wildlife habitat, rewilding, free food forest, or permaculture.

I have learned something new today, thanks to you. And perhaps I can turn my formerly "small L" libertarian friend away from the path of darkness with this knowledge.

I love this so much. I learned it in grade school, with colored blocks. ❤️

It says you have 14 now but I only see 11 - I agree with the other post, probably moderation lists. I blocked a lot of bots and aggregators so I often don't see them. You may want to try listifications.app that can help.

How kind to give Penzey's - they have freedom themed spice mixes perfect for gifts and they treat their employees like family.

As someone with a caseworker, I am grateful beyond measure for the kindness and dedication you are all offering while juggling your own existential horror. Mine has given me the strength to apply for grad school when it looks like Armageddon outside. What you are doing matters so much.

@davemccormick.bsky.social is the right man for the job. He's got Senator Fetterman and Gov. Shapiro to bolster him. He's tough and brave and has faced down controversy before. He could do it.

Are you being deluged with fake PA media follows? All reposts, no independent content?

I confess it didn't occur to me that there was anything to hide, but I sure as hell think so now. We're in a constitutional crisis, what are you doing sneaking around and wrecking trust when we need you the most? 😠

I'm only in the Extension and it still makes me so damn proud.

This is Borgspeak. I have to take a walk. Using language like this is designed to make people feel hopeless, and it works even if you *know * that. As a writer it makes me physically ill to see.

You have allies in menopausal women; they cry for you when I explain what's happening to you. Many of us are physical and emotional wrecks without our HRT, and can't even imagine how much worse it would be in your situation 💔 There's nothing frivolous about gender affirming care. It's lifesaving.

Thank you for pointing out there was an actual toddler in the audience.

I'm getting O'Connor flyers almost every day in the mail. So gross.

Ambassador Spock: I will not read this or any other statement. Sela: If you do not, you will die. All of you will die. Ambassador Spock: Since it is logical to conclude that you will kill us in any event, I choose not to cooperate.

Thank you so much for this. That episode is one of my earliest childhood memories ❤️
