Some good info here if you’re protesting later today

Went to the zoo today. This guy captured my whole mood haha

If I were in charge, I’d raise federal minimum wage, tax the billionaires to refocus on education, Medicare for all, and infrastructure. I’d also eliminate 24 hr news cycles and insist on news presenting facts because too many people confuse opinion pieces for actual news reporting.

Treated the hubby to a nice dinner — Father’s Day in part and celebrating the end of treatment. And, as usual, cannot sleep.

Oh heyyy Philly 💚

Facts!

Saving this up for later because TFD 🥰

The sh*tst*rm going on in my former district right now is … whew

Hey @moniselseward.bsky.social — I’m pleased to say I have money-saving dupe for perfume. A friend of mine shared that the Pistachio Khair by Paris Corner is a fraction of the cost on am*z*n. No doubt other places too. First scent was more alcohol-ish, but once it warmed up on me, nearly identical!

Today was the start of returning to work fulltime post-surgery/treatments. 3 months off took its toll, but I completed a task that I started in December and had on hold. And cooked dinner. I will sleep like the dead tonight!

How long til kickoff?? Sundays aren’t as sweet without cheering for the Birds 💚

Why is every book I’m picking up lately focusing on book bans …?!

It’s almost #PrideMonth so friendly reminder to support your queer artists, librarians, friends, family etc etc. Boost their art. Recommend their books. Don’t be a bigot and don’t put up with people who are

Sick of all the snake oil, sicker of how long the line is to buy it

I just read of the passing of yet another former student. This one hits hard as I’ve just completed my own treatments, and I had thought she was better. This was a young mother, c/o 2014.

I’m having tapioca pudding for breakfast. I’ve just been transported back to my mom-mom’s kitchen.

I take back my grumpy status from earlier. Spent time on the actual beach today and it improved my mood immensely. Plus a breakfast that was de-lish.

Now I remember why I don’t go to the beach on holiday weekends.

Guess I’m paying for those two naps yesterday …

Thus 🧵 captured so much

Interesting … we taking bets??

Rainy day brunch plans with the hubby turned into lunch because we had to change plans multiple times due to places not being open when their website said they were.
