Yeah, my hometown has a very English name and it's not on the map.

I think it's officially February 7, but was observed yesterday because it fell on a weekend this year. There's still time to celebrate!

You're my Senator. Please DO SOMETHING.

You're my senator. Please do something. We don't want another war.

We've been listening to the Hipster Holidays Pandora station. I thought it was just a matter of time before it played Last Christmas, so I better change it. My spouse requested the Navidad Boricua station, which seemed safe. Guess what was the very first song it played?!?! #whamageddon

So sorry for what you're going through. Here's a Pancake pic for you.

Yes! That quote hit me so hard that I had to put the book down for a minute.

Yep.

You are one of the few non-Indigenous people I've seen speaking out about this. Thank you.

I used to work in North Texas at a nature center near the Trinity River. We had a preschool, summer programs, and hosted field trips. We had a weather radio. It might have been a requirement for our preschool accreditation. I bet you're right that a lot of places don't have it.

Lights, camera… divestment. 🌱
🎬 Something big just dropped in Hollywood.
200+ SAG-AFTRA members — including Jane Fonda, Don Cheadle & Mark Ruffalo — are calling on their pension fund to divest from fossil fuels.

Because retirement should fund our future, not climate collapse.

Echoing what others have said. Such a great book!

This is very much worth a read.

Erasing History: Project 2025's Vision for Tribal Nations The implementation of Project 2025 isn’t just reshaping policy—it’s erasing history. From the Pentagon’s removal of Navajo Code Talkers to the deletion of federal reports on missing Indigenous women, ...

Project 2025 is reshaping federal policy on Indigenous rights through systematic erasure. Navajo Code Talkers were removed from Pentagon records, tribal flags removed, reports on missing Indigenous women deleted. Tribal rights are being rebranded as “DEI” to justify their dismantling.

An interior closet is also good. When I lived in TX/OK that always felt safer to me because there was less glass in the closet.

I thought that was weird, too. I looked it up and I think it might be from Ohio.

I texted this to my husband to ask his early 20s coworker. She says yes, dozen is an old person word.

@kexp.bsky.social played a lot of his music yesterday. It was sooooo good.

My understanding is that they don't typically respond to callers because they get such a high volume of voicemails. But staff tally up what the calls are about and share that with the elected officials.

I did something similar a while back that was transcribing field notes of bird sightings. It was really interesting. Thanks for sharing this!

This is my third attempt at making macarons and this might be the best looking one I've made so far. It almost has a foot! It's a nutmeg shell with eggnog buttercream.

Chokma. Ana'akookya. Chikasha saya.

I was awake for approximately one hour today before I heard Last Christmas. Brutal. #whamageddon

Yes! I found you when I was searching for just that. Chikashshanompa' ithanali. I'm learning Chickasaw.

I've been on here for less than a week and I'm already following 500+ people?!? I think @flavorflav.bsky.social is the main person I have to thank for that! His recommendations are excellent.

Yay! I keep checking to see if you made the move. I'm glad you're here. Just in time for the storm!
