Itโs so important to vote in your local elections
Enjoy Scotland! I got to go last year and I'm still scheming about how I could live there.
Grateful for your safe return.

From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.

In Victorian slang, a "Muffin Walloper" was an unmarried woman who liked meeting up with her friends to gossip over tea & cakes. I feel that one in my soul.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
Iโve done very little lace, but Janina Kallieโs Open Skies scarf was a joy to make #ShowUsYourKnits ๐งถ
Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.
I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.
Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.
So many daffodils

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.
