So after much ado and a weekend where I took enough cold medicine that maybe this was a bad choice I'll come to regret: Y'all should follow me at this other account. There's some fandom stuff you'll have to skip over (or not, whatever) - but I'm 100% more active.

I have made a decision, which is this: Keeping up two BlueSky accounts is a pain in the ass and I don't want to do it. Especially because my initial intent was that this account would be family and political stuff and my other account would be fandom stuff, but... that's not how it turned out.

San Diego Day 1: Whales, dolphins, sea lions, Coronado Island, a local outdoor market and some local brews. Also somehow Dan managed a two-hour nap.

Dan has great pictures from our morning on the ocean; he should especially be asked about the Meme Sea Lion. Here are a few of mine.

Republican Medicaid cuts could shutter rural hospitals, maternity care Potential Medicaid cuts could devastate America’s teetering rural health-care system and jeopardize Republicans’ political power among rural voters.

With maternity care deserts growing and the maternal health crisis worsening in the face of abortion restrictions, the last thing rural hospitals need is for Republicans to cut their funding.
 
Make no mistake: that's what cutting Medicaid means.

This is a very cool thing that MMSD has done every Spring for 58 years. Strings players grades 5 - 12, coming together at their respective high schools for a giant concert, ceremoniously closed every year with Ode to Joy.

He had the best lines and the best facial expressions. How Misha managed to make him look completely high all the time without actually BEING high himself is beyond me.

ICYMI: my plan to lower out-of-pocket costs for working families will prevent property taxes from going up for the average Wisconsin homeowner.

I’m hopeful Republican lawmakers will support my proposal. We should be able to get this done.

In cartoon form. I really, really don't need live-action movies of everything from my childhood.

Leah hosted her first genuine sleepover last night. She's had friends sleep over one at a time, but last night there were SEVEN of them.

They ate crap food, stayed up til almost dawn, and are exhausted but happy this morning.

It was A LOT, but she's so lucky to have such a good group of friends 🥰

Ukraine is the land of freedom, which manifests itself in every sound, every sight, and every moment of beauty.

Let’s cherish this and support those who defend it.

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those.

If it doesn’t sort out, be aware you may see applause on both sides of the aisle but they may be GOP

(Did I put "Thirteen" on L's 13th birthday on purpose? I sure as fuck did.)

“Defiance is just another word for standing up for who you are.”

A teen girl is sitting in a kitchen at a brown table wearing a plaid PJ top. She is making a surprise face. She is holding a card open. In front of her is a white coffee mug with the state of Wisconsin (USA) and the word "home." in white text over a plaid circle.

Thirteen.

This morning she said, "I don't feel any different, except that I can have social media accounts now."

Which led to a discussion about AO3.

I said, "I've been on AO3 for so long that when I signed up, it was by invitation only."

"Wow. Just. Wow."

HBD, kiddo ❤️ from your old mom.
