I’ve gotten in a bad habit of making buttermilk biscuits from scratch for breakfast. This morning I made them heart-shaped for a little extra love. 💕

I follow the "Richmond Active Calls" account to see what sort of calls the police here are responding to. Really sad to see how many calls are "DOMESTIC." Kind of makes me want to go paper those blocks with flyers for a hotline.

TIL Stephen Miller is a decade younger than me. I assumed from photos that he was 10 years my senior. I guess it's true that hate rots you from the inside-out.

Looks like DJT is waking up to his shitty poll numbers and HE NO LIKEY! The question is: will he change to improve them, or simply double-down on the idea that the polls are broken instead of him?

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Highlight of my week: having Stephen Page (orig from Barenaked Ladies) stop by the office and sing a few songs for everyone. Delightful.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

If your Friday morning news scroll didn't lead to you repeating, "I hate that man, I hate that man..." you're either doing better than I am, or you don't have a pulse.

Last night a member of the RVA reddit community posted that her cat was 80' up in a tree and had been missing for three days. She was panicked and couldn't find anyone who would come out with a ladder - fire dept wouldn't, arborist wouldn't. 1/

I love it when someone posts a problem to Reddit and specifically asks for people to brainstorm… then craps on every idea people generate. Pretty sure I can imagine this guy goes through life wondering why no one helps him.

I swear my cat knows when I'm about to leave her for a few days. This morning she has been stuck on my lap for hours and keeps trying to "hold my hand" with her paw.

Took a melatonin last night to help me sleep and it has NOT wanted to leave my system today... despite getting 7 hours of sleep (which is an hour more than I usually get), I have been DRAGGIN' today. Cannot wait to wrap this day so I can get a normal night of sleep.

The 3 yo next door just discovered their mail slot and now when I sit on the front porch I see a little hand stick out periodically.

Big crowd and good signs at the protest in #RVA today. Let’s keep it rolling until we get the masses out in the streets.

It’s nice to wake at 3am and see that someone did the right thing for once. More of this, please.

Last night someone stole my canister of dog treats. I walked the entire block looking for it this morning. Then at 10am, it was there again. I'm wondering what happened.

Made the mistake of scheduling my spring HVAC tune up for this morning. Running the the AC for an hour when it's 50 degrees outside is total bullshit.

While you're searching for Easter eggs on Sunday, I'll be watching a performance of "Urinetown." Look, I'm pretty sure Jesus would find them equally appalling ways to celebrate his resurrection. 🤷‍♀️

“What would a Russian asset do differently?” is the question I keep coming back to for everything that is happening right now. Out country is being taken down from the inside.

I've been over here trying to disconnect myself from Bezos and all his companies – only to receive notice of an Amazon shareholder vote. I had completely forgotten that I have some Amazon stock. Ugh – time to do a full audit so I can divest. 1/

🧵DISMANTLING DEMOCRACY I've been keeping track of Trump actions - now up to 192. Here, I dig into 69 actions specifically targeted at undermining democracy, rule of law & suppressing dissent. It's been 12 weeks of assaults on democracy. based on christinapagel.substack.com/p/a-republic... 1/18

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

They’ll pressure a NATO ally to release a sex trafficker and racketeer but they won’t pressure a tiny dictatorship to return a man it’s holding on our behalf, who they admit they sent there by accident

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.
