I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

ALA is back in court to protect library funding. Show up for our libraries. ALA American Library Association.

NEW: Today ALA & our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social filed a preliminary injunction in federal court.

This continues our ongoing legal action to save federal library funding.

Our goal is to immediately halt the dismantling of the Institute of Museum & Library Services. 1/3

Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

Brad Schimel, a Trump Loyalist, Aims to Flip Wisconsin’s Supreme Court (Gift Article) Brad Schimel, a judge who is so supportive of the president that he dressed up as him for Halloween, is hoping to flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court for conservatives.

Take a minute to read this whole deep-dive on Brad Schimel's no-holds-barred loyalty to Donald Trump. This link is paywall-free. And then share it with anyone you know in Wisconsin—or who could donate or volunteer to help Susan Crawford in the April 1 Wi Sup Ct race.

Big red bunny with text ECONOMIC BOYCOTT $ DON'T BUY STUFF FRIDAY FEB 28 WE HAVE POWER NO AMAZON WALMART TARGET FAST-FOOD GAS OK SMALL BUSINESS USE CASH

i think the economic boycott has had further reach because the poster is so cute. okay bunny i will listen to you.

Understand what's happening. MAGAs are gutting:
•Medicaid—which 60M Americans rely on to survive
•SNAP—which 40M Americans rely on to eat
•School Lunch—which 30M kids rely on daily
•Housing Assistance—which 5 million families rely on to live

ALL to cut $4.5T in taxes for 800 billionaires

BARBARIC

Way to go!!

I will DM you an invite. We are actually sprinting tonight in about a half hour.

That is what I keep telling myself. LOL

And if you ever need company or care to join sprints, let me know. Happy to invite you to our Discord. It is a really chill, great group of folks. Not everyone sprints but we have built a nice and supportive community with no drama.

I only get to write about 2 nights a week. I belong to a discord channel and we do writing sprints on zoom 2-3 nights a week. That is when I work. It's possibly unrealistic, but I would love to be done with the second draft either end of March or end of April. We will see what life throws my way.

I'm plugging away on a second draft of a dual timeline I have been working on. It's slow going, but I'm showing up and putting in the work even with real-world stuff, day job, home, family and being in the thick of my son's gymnastics competition season. #amwriting #writesky

Hey Wisconsin! There is an election April 1st, that will decide control of the WI State Supreme Court!

Judge Susan Crawford is a beacon of common sense and impartiality, and dark money is throwing big bucks at her MAGA opponent.

I agree. It is one of my two favorite Cinderella movies.

Elon Musk is buying Brad Schimel to support big corporations, ban abortion with no exceptions, and take Wisconsin backwards. Elect Judge Susan Crawford in Wisconsin on April 1st! She is NOT for sale!

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

'Good Germans,' 'Good Americans': Where are we headed? To take the right route, we must defend the values that made America great and resist the lies that undermine it.

I shared this with friends who unlike me, aren't political junkies or history nerds. Figured others may have those in their circles. From 2018...still applies...more than ever.

This is my state. We must make sure the candidate Musk is funding DOES NOT get elected!

I squealed when I saw the news today! She will be wonderful!

I equate this to when people were hypothetically asked what they would've done during WWII. What we do now is likely what we would've been doing then.

We must resist! Our grandparents (in my case) didn't fight fascism and Nazis less than 100 years ago for our country to be taken over by them now.

Love ya, friend! I will always be in your corner! 😊

Congratulations to my friend @katsterling.bsky.social for having her book mentioned on the @fatedmates.net podcast episode. SO proud of her!

I just finished reading Ruth Ben-Ghiat's Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present. It was excellent, and I feel like it should be required reading for all Americans...especially right now.

BREAKING Republicans are trying to stop 69 million women from voting. This week, House Republicans introduced a bill that would disenfranchise women who changed their last name after getting married. They want to control women. Source: CAP, *The SAVE Act Would Dise franchise Millions of Citizens* (2025). Photos: Getty Images.

Here we go AGAIN 🤬

The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot, this includes women who changed their name after marriage.

We must spread the word to protect our democracy.

I hear you. I wish I had better options to give you. Most times, if I can, I just support my LYSs. The yarn is usually better quality and lots of it is dyed by indie dyers, which I like.

If you want to follow each other on Ravelry, let me know. I'm always happy to follow other fiber folk.

Michael's has okay selection. My best suggestion is to find a local yarn store near you. They are small businesses and the yarn you would find there is usually really good quality. If you have a Ravelry account, you can search by zip code to find ones close to you.
