Pete is 6 today! #greyhound #dogsofbluesky

I remember seeing many moths, some of them huge, every night when I was a kid. Now, I rarely see one.

Light pollution is a serious problem that affects humans and ecosystems. Over 80% of the world's population can no longer see the Milky Way at night. But there's a lot we can do. Start by taking the pledge: idsw.darksky.org?recruiter_id...

But how will people ever get to Mars? Oh yeah, private sector contracts…🥵

Oh how wonderful it would be to not have a care in the world like my greyhounds, Pete and Myka.

Read this. I really hope he’s wrong, but I know he isn’t. The question is, will it be the end of the democratic experiment or the beginning of a democratic revolution?

I love this. History in the making.

I'm in mourning. Everyone must leave me alone today. #RIPVal

Pete and I in the Greyhound Guild booth for the last day of the Arizona Renaissance Faire.

This was a fun read, and I loved that each chapter began with a cocktail recipe. Loved even more that the bartender was willing to make me a Suffering Bastard 😋 #scifi

Just shaking my head 🤦‍♀️ www.thomasnet.com/insights/tes...

This is mind-blowing. www.space.com/space-explor...

He’s also giving Handmaid’s Tale totally in keeping with patrimony.

This is interesting. It certainly explains why fRump clearly does not care about voters, only his own interests, which are clearly expansionist. Sins of the Father www.persuasion.community/p/sins-of-th...

Lies lies lies

There is not enough wine.

Through National History Day, youth learn things like how to recognize propaganda, the impacts of civil rights (victories and violations), seeing others with empathy, and what fascism looks like. 2/2

I’m exhausted but it’s a good exhausted. I spent today judging entries for National History Day. I can’t overstate the importance of this program. Youth conduct historical research and create projects that communicate important moments in history. 1/2

fRump plans to dissolve USPS leadership and bring the agency under his administration’s control. We have no idea what they’ll do with it, but we can expect chaos. If you get payments, medications or other critical items through the mail, start looking for other ways to get them.

A special moment with my girl Myka at Arizona Renaissance Festival with the Greyhound Guild.

Firing people for cause, i.e. “poor work performance” also makes them ineligible for unemployment benefits.

This is an interesting article that helps explain the method to frump’s madness. The Zero-Sum Presidency open.substack.com/pub/yaschamo...

Here’s the next step toward a military state in which troops can conduct law enforcement operations. www.texastribune.org/2025/02/03/t...

A history lesson for you! heritagesquarephx.org/news/immigra...

Another step in the dismantling of the independent media. X is now state run media.

“America first” may make a good magat meme, but that’s not the world I want to live in.

I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fears.

I’m naming this “Sudden Stew.” When you are about to cook some quick burgers and you realize you accidentally thawed rump roast instead of ground beef 😂

I really didn’t want to read all 199 quotes, but it was so fascinating. I’m no psychologist, but he appears to have CPTSD. That would explain a lot. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Yes, and if you are not familiar with the Weimar Republic and how it gave rise to the Nazi regime, your homework for today is to learn some history. Pay attention to the broader historical context of economic issues on the heels of a pandemic.

A little adorable crab to offer some comfort www.yahoo.com/news/adorabl...

This is important to understand. Read it and internalize it because it can be used on an interpersonal level and on a societal level. Think critically about the message being delivered. If something is reduced to a meme, what complexities are being erased?

Love this. My org operates in a historic site, but we incorporate all kinds of programming, including STEM. Please support efforts like this one…

Snuggling with my snuggle-Pete. Need all the comfort today 🤗

Well, that’s not on my bingo card 😟

I wasn’t going to watch, but maybe it could be fun to mark our bingo cards and make it a drinking game.

I already have planned what I would say in this situation and it rhymes with duck two.

I’m the neighborhood treat lady 😂

Well, I still have all my blood 😞. After two people poked around in my arm and complained about my tiny veins, I started feeling light headed. When I was sure I was going to feint, they called it. I had trouble donating a few times in the past but really thought it would be better now.

Pete is a blood donor and puts me to shame because I haven’t donated in years, but TODAY is the day I try again! I’ve been eating red meat all week, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep. I’m a little nervous, and would appreciate any encouragement from all you amazing Bluesky friends!

It’s true! They do!

I don’t typically buy Girl Scout cookies, but today I’m struggling to decide which amazing scout to buy from! Join me in supporting…
