Yes, I’m fired up today. Been sick this past week. Took some time for myself to heal and am back in the fight. Hope that you all are taking the time to care for yourselves as well. ♥️

56 bills introduced in the Missouri General Assembly this year would legislate some aspect of transgender life. More than any state except Texas. Again the GOP-led #MOLeg is ignoring Missouri’s true problems and pushing lies and fear. Shameful and deadly. thebeaconnews.org/stories/2025...

The USPS belongs to the people. I just called my reps to let them know I don’t approve of any privatization plans. 5calls.org/issue/usps-u...

Welcome new people! Here is my intro. I am a published photographer who freelances under many hats. I ran an all-film photoblog, your waitress, for 15 years. I live in Kansas City, Missouri with a cat named Yoda. I share my original film sometimes phone photography, KC ♥️, and some political posts.

Here is a tracker for the dismal and dangerous Project 2025. Feel free to send it to your reps who seem shocked by what is happening (even though they had the playbook months ago). www.project2025.observer

A grant to help a successful farmers market in one of KC’s poorest neighborhoods has been canceled by Trump and crew. Just straight up cruelty. You can help the neighborhood here. secure.givelively.org/donate/ivanh... www.kansascity.com/news/politic...
