I’m so grateful for the friends who continue to love me through the messy parts of life.

The "Joe Rogan for the left" everyone is looking for isn't a podcast, it's a union.

“Ahh Fuuuuuhhhk!! All done cars!!!” My toddler, at being told she can’t have a hug because we’re still driving

Let’s not just imagine a world where we take care of each other. Let’s expect and demand it.

Real tired of dunderheads and bigots ruining the country I live in.

“Hi Fend! Hi puppy! Hi puppy fend!” If you walk past a certain window in my neighborhood this morning, a local toddler will wave at you and shout cheerfully in your direction.

If you see this I IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation

What’s your dancing style like?

Actual final grade for anatomy remains a solid A. I celebrated by stopping to smell the lilacs and eating a burger at Blue Door.

I stuck my nose in these lilac’s business, and I would do it again like an incorrigible busybody. #lilacs

Anecdotal evidence suggests that no one got decent sleep last night. <yawns>

I want politicians to stop talking to consultants and start talking to constituents. I want constituents to understand what is at stake when they choose apathy. Doesn't seem like much to ask.

Someone I love has major depressive disorder. They are not their depression, and thus, I have named their depression Gross Obnoxious Poopyfart, the GOP for short. TL;DR a lot of things would be better without the GOP. This is about depression.

Princess Tallulah Fluffybutt crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. She was the goodest girl. I hope she is chasing squirrels, licking sticks of butter, and rolling in stinky leaves. Rest in joy, sweet girl. Lulah: March 2014-May 2025

Another answer to a question you didn't ask: 3 pumpkin plants is too many. Put 2 of them back. Trust me. #gardenmath

Preliminary final grade for anatomy is a solid A. Holy moly. I did it.

Ahhh… first dirt boogers of the year. #gardening

Where the Red Fern Grows made me cry ON THE BUS. Ugh.

Got some flowers for Mother’s Day, and a gift certificate for a massage. (And some brassicas, and eggplant, strawberries, tomatoes, and couple of herbs.) I’ll definitely keep these kids.

Whew. Done with anatomy exams. Still have a short essay to finish, but then I'm done with classes until fall semester. Whew.

The toddler saying “Waah waah Baby” to indicate her sorrow over my poor parenting choices will be funny forever.

There's a segment of MN DFL politics that feels very like the Republican party of the 1950s. We can do better than that, MN. WAY Better. #DontRankFrey

Okay... Bluesky distraction of the morning- going down a rabbit hole on The Wide Awakes. www.nps.gov/articles/000... How times change when the modern GOP is so anti-Wokeness.

Did the math - it is impossible to get less than a low B in my anatomy class. That big sigh of relief you heard was me, freaking out a smidge less about my upcoming finals.

Living in a city means accepting that you probably won't like all of your neighbors and doing your best to muddle through disagreement. Living in a rural community means keeping lots of space around you so you can ignore (& continue being) disagreeable neighbors. That's the blue/red divide.

And yet, the DNC is BAFFLED that youth don't come out to vote. Strong leaders create strong leaders, and then get out of the way.

I'd love to see more billionaires leaving legacies like Carnegie Libraries. Allow me to propose Scott Free Clinics, and Cuban Rapid Transit as starting points for social good.

Fuck this guy.

Even though you didn't ask - Peggy Flanagan for Senate, all the way, every day. If your name isn't Peggy Flanagan: I'm not voting for you, pound sand.
