Now I have to learn to play!

The Aurora was lovely last night. I fell asleep before it got really spectacular, but still captured this from my front yard. You could see the light with your naked eye, but the color really came through only on camera. In the fall, you could see the color dancing. I hope to see that again.

Leaving in the morning to go to Japan. Had not appreciated exactly how hot it was likely to be until I saw this when looking at the weather forecast yesterday. Send cooling thoughts my way!

Ottawa is a perfect city to launch a larger trip from. My affordable hotel has a lovely balcony.

I love living on the St. Lawrence river in the thousand islands. Took advantage by pretending to be a tourist tonight, took a lovely cruise through Canadian waters on a Clayton Island Tours boat while my talented friends Mary and Dan Flanigan performed.

Happy Good Mexican Food Truck Day to all who celebrate!

Good inspiration to add more strength training and movement into my daily routine - wapo.st/43EKH6N (gift link)

Ace Monroe out of Nashville is my new favorite rock band! Amazing look, fabulous music, great sound, amazing energy. And the musicians are super nice. Thrilled to see them live last night! I expect when they are filling stadiums I’ll talk about how I got to see them in a small venue

Proud of the Sackets Harbor community for their efforts and success in rescuing this immigrant family, and so grateful for amazing reporting on it. Did not know there was a reporter present. I am grateful that I was quoted accurately and using words I am proud of. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Absolutely beautiful sunset tonight over the river. The trees are leaving out, spring is almost here.

I need to remember to have a comms strategy in mind when i go to rallies, but I am happy with the outtake the reporter chose and you get to see my new hat :-) www.wwnytv.com/2025/05/02/m...

The loss of scientific expertise and funded research will impact that just all Americans, it will impact the world. I have watched a horror with what they are doing at NIH, NSF, CDC and other institutions that do so much to improve the human condition.

I’ve been expecting a stock market crash, but perhaps naively I thought it was going to be when the AI bubble burst, not due to having a mad king. #Trumpcession

Full day planned for Saturday! Hoping to see a huge turn out nationally for handsoff2025.com - which our local 50501 is branding Remove Reverse Reclaim. Following this, I will go to Sackett Harbor in support of the family removed by ICE - they were doing everything legally - so unnecessarily!

Doing my part to beat the price increases anticipated from the tariff insanity. This is the first new car I have ever bought for myself.

Hey Allies! You are needed TODAY! If you are in one of these districts, please call your senator. I am in New York, so I called Chuck Schumer and begged him to rally the troops against this.

I just sent the following comment to Kathy Hochul at www.governor.ny.gov/content/gove... —

Many people have asked me how can they best stay informed and protect their health while we navigate the indefinite pause on communications from NIH, CDC, & FDA. Here’s a thread on concrete steps YOU can take to protect yourself & your community. 🧵

This is a really important issue to me personally, and I would be grateful if everyone would help amplify the message and call their senators! Click through to the thread to learn more and find an easy-to-follow script.

Hey friends! Would be grateful if people could call their representatives and tell them to vote no on this! Scroll up in the thread for a short script you can use even for Republican representatives.

Looks like it’s really time to leave Facebook, I’m going to fully move to BlueSky for posts, and discord for private group chats . Guess it’s time to edit my profile and remove the “lurker“ description.
