I'm pretty sure I wore this outfit in the 80's except my t-shirt was for The Jesus and Mary Chain, my tights were grey or black or something else drab and my shoes were black boots. Otherwise, spot-on.

It marks the height at which the 2013 champion was able to kick from a one-legged stance.

Brad peers over the edge of a cliff. More cliffs span across the distance.

Said goodbye to one of my favorite felines this weekend and headed to the woods for some nature therapy with @brdh.bsky.social

A fine example of the patriarchy at @nytimes.com - "The Morning" newsletter shares a photo of John Korir (male winner of Boston Marathon), and merely mentions Sharon Lokedi - female winner AND record breaker. Do better, NYTimes. Do better.

Find your people. Find the places that make you feel whole. They are out there.

Bigger props to everyone that looks in the mirror, says, "Oh, I made a mistake. Good thing I fixed it." (If we don't support people fixing it, we're in a world of hurt.)

Same in Wisconsin. We knew.

As my rep, I'm hoping that you will work collaboratively across the aisle to take action. What are you doing in that regard?

Remembering to do some self-care in th #woods with @brdh.bsky.social is what keeps me sane.

Farmers face steep losses in the middle of Trump's trade war and funding cuts From funding cuts to tariffs, farmers have found themselves struggling to find markets for their products and facing the risk of steep losses for the year ahead.

Agriculture is a huge contributor to Wisconsin's economy (to the tune of $116.3 billion annually). Hurting the farmers hurts us all.

I'd probably still lean Target, if I had to pick one.

These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration (Gift Article) Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

Words I will personally use more, not less, because free speech is a right for all. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thank you for continuing to fight for the rest of us. Please reach across the aisle to see who else you can bring to this side.

Self care is crucial in hard times. I take my self care out in nature - the pines, the snow, the ice, and a person I love @brdh.bsky.social. A much needed reset. #nature #ice

A grey and white cat sleeps curled in a wool bowl.

Happy #caturday! This entirely innocent looking kitty woke me with the kitty version of a Dutch oven - farting in my face, laying on my pillow. Good thing I love the stinker.

Did you know that the "father of social security" was an economics professor from the University of Wisconsin-Madison? Just another way that public universities help the average citizen.

I learned a lot from my mistakes.

I decided to make more mistakes to learn more

Ran away to the #woods today to learn #winter #survival skills with the Driftless Folks School and @brdh.bsky.social.
