Oh my, the colors on this fabulous lil’ guy 🤩
Love how my feed is 90% politics peppered w/ cool nature pics/ videos, cats & the Northern Lights.
Went off on a tangent inspired by this tanager of where to put the apostrophe in the shortened form of “little”.
Wishing I’d made this a haiku…

Biden: Pope Francis stood for compassion as others embraced cruelty. May mercy be his legacy. Pope Francis was a pope for our time. When so many practiced the politics of dehumanization, he stood for our common humanity.

Why Cory Booker’s Speech Matters Booker didn’t “accomplish” anything. He was a voice of one crying in the wilderness. And that’s how you build a dissident movement: with simple acts of witness.

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."

Cory. One hour to go to break Strom Thurmond’s record.
You’ve got this friend.

That good feeling when someone whose content you like is following Kamala!

Finally a tiny glimmer of happy news

Finished watching Zero Day this evening, and by sheer coincidence it is the fabulous Connie Britton’s birthday today.

It’s raining, possibly hailing, but it smells like spring on campus.

Gov. Mills is a friend of one of my mentors, so I always appreciate reading stories about her. This one makes me especially proud. It is also an example for how I try to lead: doing what’s right, one step at a time, even in the face of bullies.

Update: went home at lunch and put them on.

I’m not wearing earrings today, which feels almost the same way I imagine it would feel to show up to work without pants on.

Took these to work and people liked them, so 👍👍

Divorce Depression and Grief I just read an amazing blog by "The Jolly Mama". It is an amazingly honest description of the emotional struggles of separation and divorce from someone going through it.

One of the tabs I accidentally closed was from a Canadian law firm that starts: “I just read an amazing blog by “The Jolly Mama” - that was me. I wrote the post they referenced. galbraithfamilylaw.com/blog/divorce...

Just accidentally closed all the tabs I had open in my browser 😳

I have pics of smiling babies in my text messages.

If it can’t be my Lions this year, I will be rooting for your team @clairecmc.bsky.social

Tell me something good? From here: the sun is shining!

Today is day three since I became Facebook-free. Alleluia!!!!

Is today your birthday? Happy birthday!!!! 🫶

Have been wearing a Lions t-shirt that I bought in 2011 for every game this season. Correlation or causation? 🙃

Trying to choose a word for 2025 that is as good as the one I chose for this year: WONDER.

Two things: I watched The Family Stone for the first time ever this wknd, and because of a cold, I am making the same annoying throat clearing noise as SJP’s character. Last night, though, dosed on NyQuil, I dreamt that Kamala Harris gave me a giant hug, lifting me up off the ground! Chiaroscuro.

I tried but it was either gone or I just couldn’t find it.

Where you go I will follow!

I didn’t buy the sweet blazer in my profile pic and it’s a regret.
