REMEMBER: Next Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can do this. I'm IN, are you? 👋💙

Returning this little gem of poetry to the public library so someone else can enjoy it! #booksky

This week I've been alternating between Les Mis and Hamilton soundtracks in the morning and I've decided that the thing we need to get people fired up and tearing down barricades right now is a good theme song.

When MAGA watches Saving Private Ryan, are they rooting for the Germans?

So are our tax cuts self-managed this year???

FYI for my #RVA friends — with so many grocery options to choose from, now is not the time to support Kroger.

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.

Devastating. And preventable — if only this administration weren’t fueled by cruelty. Not the first or last innocent blood Trump and his cronies will have on their hands.

Can someone tell me why I just want to eat copious amounts of cereal this week? I’ve got much “better” food I. My fridge, but all I want is Raisin Nut Bran. Wtf.

I've been getting quarterly bloodwork for 10 years to make sure my medication isn't ruining my liver. Today I got my results back and for one entire panel it said "unable to perform – patient did not fast." Uh – I've *never* fasted for this labwork. I'm mystified.

Just spent ten minutes trying to fish random bits of sauteed kale out of my dish brush and I'm thinking it might have been a terrible "last meal" before my dentist appointment this morning. 😵‍💫

Just ate a biscuit with honey and now I look like a raccoon, dipping my hand in my water glass because I can't move the cat off my lap to go wash my hands properly.

"The concert was abruptly canceled without explanation." It's homophobia. Homophobia is the explanation. operawire.com/kennedy-cent...

I'd like to buy her a beer for saying, "Steven, let's calm down." Withering.

Are all my fellow Richmonders sufficiently traumatized from losing water during our first snow of the season that we're all doing laundry and washing dishes this morning in preparation for today's snow, just in case? #RVA

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

You know you live in the south when your dentist's office calls to confirm your appointment for a day when 4-6" of snow is forecast and says, "We'll see you tomorrow at noon, good lord willing and the snow don't rise." 🤣❄️

FBI cancels community outreach programs for seniors

Supporting libraries and the American Library Association is more critical than ever. If you’re looking for a way to help, I urge you to become a Supporter of the American Library Association. ilovelibraries.org #ForOurLibraries #BookSky

Really nice to see even more people out there today.

Just attended the naturalization ceremony for 60 new US citizens from 36 different countries and damn if I wasn't a blubbering mess. This is the America I know: one that welcomes immigrants and recognizes our own story in each of them.

... “total shutdown” is planned for March 15... Website for the General Strike: generalstrikeus.com OPPOSE! PLEASE REPOST!

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Some asshole keeps stealing the canister of dog biscuits I set out for the neighborhood pups. 🤬

Holy shit, #RVA. What is with this rain and wind? It's like a hurricane out there???

The community note 🤌😘

Those poor, innocent kids. I don’t know if I’d be able to forgive my parents if their cultish ignorance inflicted such avoidable agony on me.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
