Congressman John Lewis came to the Barnes & Noble store in Annapolis where my husband worked. It was an honor to meet him & the artist, Andrew Aydin, who brought his story to life in a graphic novel.

I loved telling him how I met Martin Luther King, Jr. :

So many lies... at levels never seen before....

YouTube video by MSNBC Jeff Daniels gives live performance inspired by No Kings Protest of the Trump Administration

These glorious creatures are currently up for adoption at my store. A bonded pair of sisters, about three years old. They were surrendered when their owner passed away and no one else in the family could care for them. They are as sweet as they are beautiful. Don't you want to take them home?

You just never know who'll come shopping at my store.

Interesting passage in the book I'm currently reading....

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

It's going well, Doc! I'm loving my job, glad I can still work a physically challenging job at 67 years old. I love taking care of the cats in our Adoption room and helping them find their families.

Trying out Deck Blue. Any tips?

Co-workers, sleeping on the job

You're welcome. And yes, that sounds like fun! I'll see what I can do. Alas, I find myself doing more living than posting these days.

I wish somebody would tell every reporter and newscaster how to say Kerrville. It's not Careville or Care County. It's like Kirk, as in Captain Kirk. Say it with me now... Kerrville.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Me, too!

@worddancer21.bsky.social Watching the Tony's and thinking of you, my friend. ❤️

Thank you, Marsha!

Thank you, Robin!

Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna like the ending of this one.

So, we're basically living in a Tom Clancy novel.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Great movie. So true.

Money can't buy good judgment. #justsaying

Edward says good morning.

Ok, I watched the whole thing and lived to tell the tale. I still have hope because someone like Sen Slotkin got elected. Her speech was spot on.

Is anti-wokeness... sleep? #justasking

Maybe there's a market for T-shirts that say "Radical Left Lunatic"...? #justasking

High school pep rallies just came to mind. Or maybe junior high. #randomthought

My church upbringing allowed me to develop a high tolerance for listening to people who think they have all the answers.

Thank you, my friend.
