We changed our bird feeder setup. It's been fun watching the birds from the living room. We take the feeder in at night. #birds

Well we have had to cancel our plans to go to #NearFest this spring. I was looking forward to it but we just can't make the trip. #hamradio

Pretty morning with the fog on the river.

#WesternMa life.

I put up a bird feeder yesterday near where I think the previous owners had one. The chickadees are fearless. The cardinal and bluebirds have been more cautious this morning. #WesternMass

I'm in there somewhere. If #WesternMass is your thing then check it out.

I was following all the Alt accounts and it just got to be too much. I hope you understand. My mental health just couldn't take it.

This is a stay-cation week for me since I maxed out my vacation time. We have been cleaning out our old house. Today I reached my limit. My body said tomorrow I will be in pajamas letting my back, legs, and arms recover.

If Words with Friends players are the target market for fantasy apps featuring Marge Simpson and Lois Griffin then I must be playing with a bunch of weirdos. Those ads are strange.

I saw this today. I have a much smaller text only version on my own vehicle. This one was pretty big. New Hampshire license plate.

For over 80 years, Voice of America delivered news to countries—many under authoritarian rule—where reliable information was scarce. Now, those broadcasts, once a vital tool for promoting democracy and transparency, are fading away.

Long past time to begin holding administration officials and lawyers in contempt.

It’s almost funny but actually shocking how MAGA spent all week trying to justify the detention of Mahmoud Khalil with BS ‘he’s Hamas’ accusations but then goes & deports Dr Rasha Alawieh, a Brown uni professor & doctor specializing in kidney transplant patients without any reasons given whatsoever!

Oh is it #Marchmadness time? I love this stuff except I haven't watched any basketball since last year when the women's brackets were the best thing and we all became Indiana fans.

@temporaryhero.bsky.social I'm looking at more of your writing and I see you wrote about Edwin Henry C. Wentworth. According to Family Search he is my 8th cousin 4 x removed. I'm going to try to verify that of course but I thought you might be interested.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

It’s begun. We aren’t surprised that DOGE doesn’t know how to clean data since they also are perplexed by databases. DOGE’s traitor tots are incompetent. #wecodebetterthandoge

BREAKING | Protesters in Los Angeles shut down traffic, joining the nationwide movement demanding the release of detained Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil.

@brickingtheblock.bsky.social Hi! I saw your intro on NELUG. I'm in Massachusetts, close to the VT/NH border.

🌸Good News!! The GOP tabled the anti-trans sports bill!🔥 We were ready to fight for trans kids and adults. Our DFL colleagues were ready. But today we won without harmful prolonged fight. And that is a good day. Thank you to those who showed up again. Thank you for always showing up.
