I bit the bullet and cancelled my #Adobe plan. I'll find some way to edit photos without it costing so much. Adobe's tools are great. I love Lightroom, especially. But it's obscene how much the cost has risen in the last few years. It's a hobby and I have a fixed income. It's not feasible anymore.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Dinette is a precious soul. So gentle and sweet. Playful too! 💝

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

@peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov All over Michigan, we're feeling the pain of high prices and loss of SNAP funding... Like others are saying, don't cave - R's cannot be trusted as they've proven it over and over. Stay strong until they agree to D's terms and compromise.

"We got energy prices down!" "Energy is actually up." "Well, that's not our fault."

Woke up to find this leaf clinging to the outside screen of our window. Beyond it being enchanting ... I wonder if it's a metaphor for us 'holding on' to our democracy? #nature #leaf #photography #metaphor
