Hmm, at my age, where do I start? Mom, Grandmother, Wife, Horse Rescuer, Artist and Seller of found treasures. That covers all my current jobs.

Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social for your work and dedication to ACA. It came just in time for me to get insurance for my cancer treatment!

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salariesβ€”sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be β€œtedious” and β€œcompensation is zero"

now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

Reporter: "So to be clear - unelected government officials are dangerous, but unelected billionaires making policy decisions are fine?"
Mike Johnson: "That's not what I said"
Reporter: "Right, but it's what's happening. You're handing major government functions to a private citizen with no oversight. If he were in the EPA you'd be calling him a deep state bureaucrat"
Mike Johnson: "I think you're misunderstanding the situation"
Reporter: "No, I think I'm just describing it out loud"

Mikey is a teensy bit inconsistent.

Joker had to have his own journal/puppy book for all of his stuff. He has truly been the best therapy.

I find myself extremely disappointed in people who agree with what Trump, et al are doing. I don't even want to associate with them because they must have a totally different value system than I do and it's at such a deep level that I can't get past it.

Make America Highly Pathogenic Again If RFK Jr. gets to helm HHS, global health is at risk.

Out today in @foreignpolicy.com: I wrote about what will happen if there is an H5N1 pandemic with Robert F Kennedy, Jr. in charge of safeguarding the health of Americans.

If H5N1 begins spreading human to human, the deaths will be counted in millions.πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

I have been working on my boho journal and wanted to make some interesting paper for clusters and decorating my pages. I made this and now I am absolutely obsessed with it! I don't even want to tear it up to use.

I had to get him a cat bed because the dog beds are all too big. At least it's a place for him to light besides in between my feet. He still needs a name.

I think their news outlets like to sensationalize things and cause it against people who are not like them. I don't know, I have been trying to figure out how seemingly rational people can believe the things they do
