I invent boxes by day and textiles by night. Love: hiking, pottery, knitting, crochet, painting, dyeing, baking, rock hounding, my dog

It took me forever to come to this conclusion; it has carpet because it’s a just a big car.

In all honesty a little wave would be good, we don’t need to touch at all.

Being a woman in business is super awkward. People often don’t want to shake my hand, but other times think they can hug me.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

In between all the other emotions

If You Hate Liquid Glass on iOS 26, Here’s How to Make It Better If you can’t get used Apple's new liquidy and glass UI in iOS 26, there’s an option available for you.

My iPhone became all but unreadable with the latest iOS update. This guide helped make it less terrible!

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump β€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

Why is there a security guard at Fred Meyer? Does he really need 2 guns?

Just FYI Costco and check a receipt with no guns.

Disarm is a great option for the β€œnormies” even if the actual goal should be defund and abolish

Someone at my office used ChatGPT to check if a standard changed. Then 4 people spent multiple days trying to verify, including several meetings, learned it wasn’t true. -25 hours, v. productive.

My First 72 Hours in Minneapolis and How I Got an ICE Agent to Scream β€œMAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” The activists on the ground are doing the work, that should give you hope.

"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now."

Tell Your Congressperson: Abolish ICE Today, an ICE agent in Minneapolis executed Renee Nicole Good, an innocent legal observer. They shot her in the face multiple times, and, instead of providing her medical aid, ICE drew their weapons o...

ICE is a state-sponsored domestic terrorist organization that executed Renee Nicole Good in broad daylight.

We can't let this stand. Demand your representatives vote to abolish ICE & to impeach & indict Bovino & the rest of the Regime that's complicit in ICE's crimes against the American people.
