Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Despite the crummy weather, cuttings are getting popped into soil for young bushes and trees! So far we have blueberries, elderberries, serviceberries, dogwood and willow going, and working on more this week!

Reminder to keep those leaves for a while longer! Dont do your garden and yard cleanup until the weather is reliably in the 50s for a week+. False spring always tries to convince us its time, then we get gross chilly weather back and the insects and wildlife still need those leaves & hollow stems!

When you get all inspired by a topic and request six books from the library to dig deeper, and the next week you find another interesting, different topic and request another handful of books, and then the following week you found another cool topic but you already have a dozen books to read.....

A bill in the Connecticut General Assembly would ban the use of gas-powered leaf blowers in the state starting in 2029. www.ctpublic.org/news/2025-03...

Reason why coffee is important before anything else...... threw the dishwasher tab in the sink, couldnt figure out why there was no tab in the dishwasher, got another tab, put it in the dishwasher. Found the tab i threw in the sink 5 hours later.... knew exactly how it got there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️ #coffee

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

And now some not so good news....monarchs may have almost doubled last year, but butterflies in general have declined a whopping 22% since 2020. What to do? Ditch pesticides full stop, plant host plants, plant nectar plants. Create habitat. xerces.org/press/study-...

Good grief. My TBR list is growing faster than I could ever hope to keep up. Coming across so many fascinating books lately! #booksky

Get the word out on these special elections We win these three and we take the house No more trifecta No more BS from Trump We need people in these districts to step up and fight for it Contact your friends and neighbors and raise hell gayforcongress.com joshweil.us blakegendebienforcongress.com

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

You can’t have a resistance without books. They want us frightened, stressed, AND ignorant. Don’t let them do that. #booksky

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Patching yet another hole in the dog bed because sweet pup had a panic attack when the snowplows were going by our house through the night. 🙄 poor guy doesnt like loud noises at allll. At this rate his bed is going to be more repairs then bed 🤣🤣🤣. Good thing he's cute

Ncsl.org !!! Not all states have allowances for recall elections, but some do! If you are from one of those 19 states that do, and your representatives are screwing around, start the process! The website shows the details for what needs to happen and how to do it.

Planning an extra intense garden this year. Hoping i can stay on top of my adhd to keep better track of what varieties are where and how each performs for seed saving and future planning 🤪 hoping i chose some great tomatoes especially!

This sweet guy makes my workday 1000% more amazing! Always by my side, the bestest pup!

I’ve started That Librarian by @librarianjones.com and it is possibly the scariest book I’ve read in a long time. I knew that the book challenges & challengers were bad but I had no idea just how terrifying it all is. Librarians really are super heroes in plain clothes.

Dont stop pushing! We need to stay busy making noise and fighting for what is right! Email, write, or call!

Using the Department of Justice to punish Donald Trump’s enemies was always the plan.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Heard someone saying that he's treating this like a business and cutting excess wasteful spending, and he's doing a great job. Its not high end copy paper being swapped out for a cheaper brand.... its crucial support that our communities and neighbors depend on for survival. 🤦‍♀️ willful ignorance.

I thought tiktok was the big problem stealing all our data and personal info! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Turns out its actually Musk- an illegal immigrant- working for the🤡. These magat ding dongs always tell on themselves and try to ban crap they are doing themselves or plan to do. FDT

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Text Elon to 50409. Pass it on.

'Morning, peeps. It's Monday. 'Nuff said. Head down. Go forth. Be awesome. 💙

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong is advising the ~5,000 federal employees in CT to be "deeply suspicious" of the "Trump/Musk Administration" "untrustworthy" offer of buyouts via "deferred resignation."
