It’s been over 2 years since the last time I fainted, but…the clock has officially been reset. Like last time, I was tired & dehydrated. I had a few seconds warning (roaring in my ears). I grabbed a sturdy chair & tried to get low to avoid a fall. Instead, I pulled the chair over & hit the floor. 1/

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

Mamdani takes office and not even six months later the Knicks are going to the finals. Hardly a coincidence.

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

It doesn’t matter if gas hits $15/gallon, the stock markets crash, all our farms go bankrupt and everything is gobbled up by the oligarchs, republicans can always count on convincing 20-30% of the population that those different from them are hurting more than they are. Hate is a helluva drug.

This is absolute insanity. People will die without accurate forecasting. Why does science scare them so much???

The shade garden plants are doing their spring thing. Bleeding heart, lily of the valley, green ferns and a freshly-planted coleus. 😎

when they tell the stories of what it was like to live in this time, it should just be this video

Choncky the Woodchuck is apparently living under our shed again (she moved in last year). I used the froggy stakes to harmlessly block her old holes, so she dug a new one where I can’t put a stake. 🫠 You can almost hear her laugh at my attempts. Her babies were adorable last summer, so…🤷‍♀️

Himself (gruff on the outside, with the softest heart) walks out the front door, and immediately starts talking, I assumed to one of our elderly neighbors. “Hey, good morning! How are you? You having a good day so far? Is there anything I can help you with?” Curious, I looked to see who it was….😂

Me: why have I gone through half a box of tissues in the hour that I’ve been awake? 🤧🤧🤧🤧 My phone: 🚨 HIGH POLLEN ALERT TODAY!!! 🚨 Me: Ah, yes. Tree pollen. My old nemesis. 🌳🌳🌳

Let's be clear we didn't lose the plot - the current administration is actively and intentionally sabotaging clean energy in general (which includes electric cars) and gleefully letting China and other countries lap us with this technology. This is the intentional destruction of US innovation.

Happiness is a contractor who shows up (on time!) to give an estimate on chimney repair, shakes my hand and talks to me like an adult, and never ONCE asked if he should talk to my husband (who was off mowing yards for the neighbors). Hell yeah, he got the job!

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

As they (we) should

I love how loud it got with the chorus. That made me laugh. These are the joyful moments we need more of.

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

Wishing this fabulously competent—and joyful—crew a safe return to a planet that, frankly, doesn't deserve them.

🔥 @rokhanna.bsky.social to Democratic leadership: “Get out. Let a new generation lead. You’ve been ineffective. The base doesn’t like you. The base wants fighters.”

If I were a senator or congressperson, I would not be on social media right now. Actually, I would be on social media. I would be live in an airport or on a train while on my way back to the Capitol to hold a sit-in with as many colleagues and camera crews as possible over this ****.

I mean…seriously? 😤❄️

Call me old fashioned, but when I was a girl we valued this thing called a sense of accomplishment. It means you put in the effort to do something, then you look at having done it & are proud of what you did. I feel accomplished when I have written because I went through the process to write.

I hope everyone’s learned their lesson about “let’s run our government like a business” bullshit Businesses can be run into the ground Not really supposed to do that with governments

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

After a 6 week road trip, it’s hard to describe the bliss of sleeping in my own bed, with my head on my own pillow, and making coffee in our kitchen this morning. Home sweet home!

Shout-out to the No Kings/Indivisible protestors in downtown St. Augustine, FL this morning! It was refreshing and I walked over and thanked them. They were getting a lot of horn honks, too.

Interesting. Kent resigns from NCTC

As if I couldn’t love this guy more. 💚 He just…gets it. Worth the listen, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day (a day that’s NOT about green beer).☘️🇮🇪

Who would have thought that tariffing all our allies over a lie, threatening their sovereignty, calling them names, proclaiming us the greatest and saying they aren't doing anything, and then starting a war of aggression could result in this!

CONAN: “For the first time since 2012 no British people are nominated for Best actor or best Actress… a British spokesperson commented, ‘Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’" #Oscars

For once I have Caturday pics! Meet my cat-nephew, Rory (we’re visiting his parents this week). And yes, he’s orange and can totally be an asshole. Pet me, pet me, don’t touch me, chomp. 😂#caturday

So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.

One was a farmer and worked for the railroad. The other was a farmer and maybe worked in talc mines (he died of pneumonia when my dad was 10ish). Both were dirt poor. Both were badasses.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Well, it was good while it lasted. I’ll be terminating my Amazon wishlist starting March 1st. If you want to clear my wishlist out, now is the time 💛

Kicking millions of people off food stamps and making the largest cut to SNAP in history does not lift up Americans or make groceries affordable. It makes it more difficult, and nearly impossible, for families to put food on the table.

I want this for us

TIL that photographing black dogs is just as tricky as black cats—they basically become a solid black void. In other news, I met and fell in LOVE with the sweetest Cane Corso girl today. I wish I had better pics, but trust me, she’s beautiful. And solid. And big.

Jasmine Crockett: “Other countries have CEOs that are stepping down & princes that are being indicted — in the United States, crickets. Nothing is happening — we have a president that says that the Epstein files are a hoax because his name is in there more times than I can count”

Look, I love my husband. But we've had a king-size bed for 15 years. Now we're in a queen-size for 2 weeks (as guests) and OH MY GOD GET AWAY FROM ME! 😂 Snuggle-time is nice, but sleep-time means I need my space. I can't roll over without running right into him, or getting a knee in the back. 😣

Let’s put our heads together, and start a new country up.

Book math: my 3rd completed book became my debut novel. My 2nd completed book became my 4th published novel. 🙃 Released my 23rd last month.

We'll never know how many lives the ordinary people of Minnesota saved.

It’s the Epstein Administration. No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting. H/T: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

J.F.C. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

The number of AI companies advertising tonight, on the heels of that horrid NYT article, was truly depressing. Especially that tone-deaf one about “take the day off because AI did your job!” Bitch, you’ve got the day off because you’re now unemployed. 😤
