One weird thing about all of these awesome federal programs getting gutted out of existence is that I now know they used to exist. That’s sort of nice, I guess. It’s like learning about an animal that went extinct last Tuesday.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

And a former sex trafficker. Why do people love him? He never atoned for his past? It’s gross.

The apple seed teeth still haunt me months later. Such great, unhinged escapism.

Not so great video of a bald eagle fishing in the gently falling snow out my window today. #addbirder #birds🦉

Opinion | The way to avoid tragedies like yesterday's crash is to use hiring practices that put only the most qualified people in important federal jobs.

Today someone told me, “well, at least you’re good at making a bad situation funny,” so I have that going for me. 😂🫠

Regarding the news about ICE being allowed to remove patients (or staff) from hospitals now…

Lots of time in nature has helped me so much in the past few months. Hoping it continues in the coming few years.

Whyyyy is this surprising? How has everyone just glossed over the fact that this dude was a sex trafficker. He never apologized for it. He was a pimp. He fits right in with this administration’s views on women.
I’ve never ever understood how so many people love him.

Has a bee ever landed on you, and instead of getting scared, you appreciate the possibility that you got confused for a flower.

Am I the only one who is really worried about the fact that our world has gotten so messed up that really good, moral, nice people are celebrating the fact that someone was murdered? Insurance sucks. It’s awful. I hate it. But we are cool with solving problems with murder now?
Just…yikes.
