Colorful postcards with artwork by Eric Carle asking voters to elect Aftyn Behn in TN and Ash Marwah in Florida.

Writing #PostcardsToVoters has shown me that there is ALWAYS a campaign that needs our help - even now, in the time between the last day to mail postcards for Election Day and Election Day itself. 🥰

Working on our tricks for Windi's TKE title - a la "Dumb Ways to Die" for our theme 😂🥰

Spotted this fun orange coloring on a grosbeak that visited the feeder today - although I can't decide if it's an immature/non-breeding male or a female. Any more experienced birders have thoughts? (Southern MN, 5/27)

Ooo where did you get your PostcardsToVoters.org stickers? I love that idea!

My 500th postcard since I started writing for various #PostcardsToVoters programs two months ago. 😍

Even if you can, I don't care. That much happiness and peanut butter? It's ok if it's my time. 😂

A little mad I didn't start reading the Wolfsong series before now. 😤 The audiobooks are so well done, and this series is definitely one that will stick out for me!

Writing #PostcardsToVoters tonight for #DanielleChesek for #ScrantonSchoolBoard!

I highly recommend volunteering with @tovoters.bsky.social. Making a difference rn by using my (larger than necessary for one person) collection of colorful markers is literally *so helpful* for my mental health. 🧠🌈

Will add that those who put this man in power knew better and should be held accountable.

RFK Jr.'s cuts to CDC lead poisoning team bring efforts to help tribes, health departments to a standstill The CDC's team of lead poisoning experts remained off the job a week after the sweeping HHS layoffs.

The latest on the CDC lead poisoning prevention team layoffs: www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-....

Americans are already being affected by this decision. Note that CDC's lead work costs taxpayers less than $1 annually (about 44 cents/person), and no one else was doing it.

What songs are on repeat on your ragey motivation playlist these days? I'll start:

🗓️ TODAY! 🗓️

Don't forget to add your name!

🥦 I'm choosing eating well, because I am privileged enough to not worry about the other 3 as much on a daily basis. 💚

I love this 🥺 public health is about our communities, and it takes all of us to build that healthy community!

If you tell me you "aren't dieting" because you eat 1400 calories a day...

That is, in fact, a restrictive diet and your body probably needs more calories. 💚 Remember to fuel your body so we can better smash the patriarchy, friends!

The CDC Has Been Gutted Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

NEW: The CDC has been gutted. Thousands of CDC employees working on HIV prevention and lead poisoning received RIF notices early this morning.
