Honestly / I think everyone should have to go to a funeral and wedding on the same day- I’m not saying that it is easy, but it gives you the full human experience in one day - that’s for sure

It’s going to be a long month - my cousin’s wedding is this morning, then we have a funeral this afternoon, head to CT/RI next weekend for my grandmother’s internment and then another funeral the weekend after that. 2025 has been rough, but there have been some bright spots…is it June yet?

Upper Valley resident detained at citizenship interview in Colchester Friends of White River Junction resident Mohsen Mahdawi say he was called in for a citizenship interview Monday and left in handcuffs.

Mohsen Mahdawi, a permanent U.S. resident living in White River Junction, was arrested Monday when he arrived for a citizenship interview at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office in Colchester, according to court filings.

So he is openly defying a unanimous Supreme Court decision - what do they (or anyone) do to make him follow the law? He hasn’t yet - he certainly isn’t planning on doing it anytime soon. But seriously - I don’t have words for how atrocious this all is.

And even worse when you ignore a Supreme Court ruling to bring him/them back.

That is very on point. I don’t have words for how appalled I am today

Putin doesn’t respect Trump - he’s using him and the only person who doesn’t realize this is our pathetic excuse for a president.

I have a good family friend who in the past year started his dream job as a pilot. I fear for him.

RIP Bob Uecker. Never forget the time he and Bob Gibson got in trouble for holding hands during the team photo.

Yes!!! We need to make plans soon because you all better be at the party! Right now we are trying to figure out if it will happen this year or next year - originally the goal was September - and then my parents booked flights to Ireland for the month without telling us. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Looks as if the second Trump presidency will begin the way the first Trump presidency ended: incompetent acrimonious chaos.

Agreed

I thought your picture was Henry at first glance 🤣

My parents’ cat Henry says hi!

But seriously - what the fuck do I wear? 😬🤣🤷‍♀️

I was NEVER the girl who dreamed about what my wedding would be, what I would wear, etc. (not at all surprising if you know me). Now, I suddenly find myself spending a LOT of time thinking about wedding logistics and it's so weird to me. Luckily, everything is coming together pretty easily.

I hadn’t posted regularly on that other site/app after it became a single letter. Rarely I would sign in for some kind of random, specific reason, but that was about it. Bluesky, so far, has reminded me why I liked the other site long before it became the cesspool it is now.

When you realize that the goal of the Trump administration is to dismantle the Federal Government, choosing the absolute worst person to lead each institution makes perfect sense.

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that
Indiana's gender affirming care ban, including an aiding and abetting provision, is likely constitutional.

It cites Dobbs 21 times.

The ruling was a divided 2-1 ruling, with the two judges being a Bush and Trump appointee.
