As an introvert that loves to read, silent book clubs are great! A little chatting, but it’s for a brief period of time. And you get to learn about some new books and get some first hand feedback about them. Love it!

Bunnicula was a childhood favorite of mine. I checked it out at my elementary school’s library repeatedly! Enjoy!

A great Author Talk today with @jodipicoult.bsky.social thanks to Camas Public Library! I love learning and learned more than I ever expected in that one hour time! An amazing writer and human. I look forward to her 2026 release!!

I’d love a federal government that cares much about protecting people as it does about protecting Teslas

That is exactly true.

Is the Democratic leadership suggesting now is not the time to be disruptive? If not now, when? Because it really seems like now is the time…

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Prior to the inauguration, I read “The Things We Cannot Say” by Kelly Rimmer. I was struck by this page in her book describing the entry into the USA of two German Jewish refugees. Poignant. I’ve reflected on it often in the past month and am just heartsick.

Great to see President Trump draining the swamp by finally taking on Big Missing And Exploited Children special interests.

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office.

But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection.

The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

Costco shareholders just sent a clear message: DEI is here to stay.

Attempts to roll back progress were crushed—because diversity isn’t a ‘risk,’ it’s a strength. 🔥

So, keep the $1.50 hotdogs coming 🌭

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

"There are no sidelines. There's no sitting this one out. There is no hoping that someone else is going to come in and save the day. There is no cavalry. We are the cavalry". ~ Beto O'Rourke

He told us, months in advance, he’d be a dictator on day one.
Too many thought it was a joke.
It’s now day two.

"There are no sidelines.
There's no sitting this one out.
There is no hoping that someone else is going to come in and save the day.
There is no cavalry.
We are the cavalry.”

Hero.

Make sure you buy banned books. Get a library card and borrow banned books. Read banned books.

I’m going to read so many books over the next four years.

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

Crazy to think that just 4 years ago Amanda Gorman read The Hill We Climb

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

Please buy books and read them. It will matter moving forward.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
