@adrienbisson.bsky.social & I just spent over 7 hours putting coving on our baseboards and then cleaning his office rug and installing a new pad. The only good thing is that if we have to do it again in another 5.5 years I'll be too f-ing old to even try it. #happyhomeowner

It's been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

If I were a voter from AZ I’d be pretty pissed at this little weasel. Alas I’m one from MA. Still pretty pissed though.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

29 October 2025: A Carrot Soup Blueprint One of my all-time favorite soups is carrot, and so with cooler weather and some beautiful, fresh carrots included in our Clark Farm CSA Share, I couldn’t resist. Carrot soup, in my opinion, …

Is there anything more comforting that a pot of #soup ? This is my blueprint for Carrot Soup.

No one in this wealthy country of ours should be food insecure - I don't care what your politics might be. To take away food from vulnerable people is wrong.

If you're offended by my thinking, maybe reflect on that for a bit.

SNAP does not just serve what some would say are undeserving lazy people on welfare. Those benefits support families for whom a living wage is unattainable, the elderly who cannot afford basic needs, the disabled... the many people and families needing us to be empathetic and human.

Here's what I'm thinking today as the US government prepares to reduce/eliminate SNAP assistance: "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40)

So, fun fact: I taught in a parochial school for 10 years. I taught religion every day to 7- and 8-yo children. It was one of the ways my (normally quiet) beliefs manifested themselves. Later I chose to teach schools with higher poverty rates & saw the impact of food insecurity up close.

I blew in from Buffalo and Ohio in 1967. Still from out of town :-) The archive is probably closed due to shutdown (they have everything!), but I have found info from all over in NEGHS. Currently trying to decipher Italian in order to read about my Sicilian family.

Has anyone ever attempted to figure out how many dollars we’ve paid Congress to do absolutely nothing in the 21st century, including their salaries, expenses, benefits, and pensions?

Welcome to geneaology Liz! If you haven't found the archives in Waltham or been to New England Geneaology in Boston, DM me.

Your Mom must be a great source of family history!
