PA voted straight blue, too. And we are purple as hell.

Live Updates: Key Justices Show Early Skepticism of Trump’s Tariff Power

I am hopeful reading this that tariffs are overturned.... 🤞 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

It was amazing to see so many people energized to vote! Many people who didn't receive mail-in ballots came in to vote provisionally and make sure their voice was heard! I am so proud!

Today is only the beginning.

Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

Incredible turnout today for everyone in my small PA district. Black voters especially came out in droves to rock the vote - very notably so! You are an inspiration to this poll worker, good folks ❤️

Man, I was so excited to see Yelle finally for their 20th anniversary in NYC... Guess I'll never get to see them...

Showing the internet my milled pallet boards. I'm planning to rebuild my workbench this weekend! So I stocked up on pallet wood and made sure it's ready to go!

Update: he is going to the vet and then going home with his new forever mom tomorrow morning! Very excited for him to get the attention he needs ❤️

May have gotten too excited about using my forstener bit on this when I have no 3/4 inch plugs to use on the resulting recesses. Lol. I need a plug cutter.

Small project: storage crate for wood burning tool. Has slots for the wires, and a hole in the back for the plug. Wish I had waited until I had a planer to do this one. Alas! It is functional.

Project of the day: potting bench. Still needs a drawer for catching stray soil underneath the mesh, but was a good way to reuse my old desktop + desk legs, as well as spare 1-inch mesh fence. The desktop was hollow so I had to put wood facing on it.

Almost wasn't able to get close enough to scoop him due to fireworks.
I'm so glad we got him inside. Our ring camera caught him getting chased by a fox about a week ago and I've been so worried ever since.

Once he realized he was safe, and started getting pets - this little guy became SO affectionate. Rubbing up against me, flopping on my feet and showing me his belly, the works. He is skin and bones ... His ribs and shoulders are so sharp :/ must have been outdoors for quite a while.

Was able to bring in the stray we've been feeding for weeks. He's a surprisingly polite and affectionate young man. Hoping to get him to the vet this week and fixed, and optimally on his way to a good home.

Thank you, at least we are both confused

Looks like it's still being debated possibly?

Does this mean it passed? Ugh, Congress dot gov makes it so hard to tell, you have to dig for everything

Oh yeah, and my buddy Jake and I made some knives a few weekends ago. I made the sheath (first real leather project).

This was my first wooden box project, made with mitered joins. It was a good learning project for using a table saw.

Also refinished this entire cat tree. Got it from the home of an elderly lady who passed whose cats I fostered (her daughter asked me to take it). Painted over the pressboard bits to remove smell, removed old carpet and rope, and added new. My favorite feature: leftover veneer bottoms for perches

I'm obsessed with free pallets. Scored some great ones over the weekend.

Also restored this $20 router and stand. Had to take it apart since the shaft lock wasn't engaging. Works like a charm now, kind of scary powerful.

Restored an old Craftsman scrollsaw that had some sort of bug hive in it. Luckily, all bugs found were dead. I got this scroll saw for $20 which is wild. Completely took it apart, cleaned and tuned it up. Now it works great.

Cat food stand made with free pallet wood also. Husband woodburned a motivational and informative message to the cats.

Been working on woodworking lately. Here's a hinged dice box I'm proud of. Made with free pallet wood from a paint store.

uh the House bill throws 16 million people off their health care coverage

I'm sorry for your loss.
