Just a reminder that that turkey likely needs to be in the fridge today if it’s gonna be thawed by Thanksgiving…

This is what happens when Congress abdicates its oversight role. Vaccines do not cause autism. That is settled science. Back in my day agencies used to be response to their oversight committees.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. (Photo: my grandfather, Andrew Kerestes, WWI US Army Veteran 💕🇺🇸

Happy Halloween!!

My U10 soccer team was trying to cute with their use of Gen Z slang. Bless their hearts. But this Gen Xer hit them with Pauly Shore (buuuudddiiieeesszzz). Minds blown. (But what is he saying coach?!?!? 😆🤣😝) youtu.be/RlILZNz04Lo

I keep forgetting this channel exists 🤷‍♀️

Today I remember Leslie, Charles, Zoe, Dana, Lisa and Anthony. For 24 years now, and always. 💕

I can't begin to even say how much I oppose this move. It flies in the face of science and evidence. But also history. We know what happens when children aren't vaccinated because it hasn't been so long since vaccines were invented. apnews.com/article/flor...

It’s gonna be a great day 🤩

Some of you didn’t live in DC in the 90s and it shows 😆 (And FWIW I loved DC so much more then - before the gentrification and snooty restaurants and fancy apartment buildings)

I didn’t grow up in DC. I moved into the city and became a DC citizen in 2001. The years I lived in the District were wonderful. It is a great city with great people. But I hated not having Congressional representation. Taxation without representation is fundamentally un-American.

Played a three hour match this morning from 9:30 - 12:30 then jumped in a clinic at 1 for an hour. 93 degrees, 107 heat index. But this is why we play all summer in Florida. You get to a level of conditioning that you just can’t up north. www.instagram.com/p/DMk_B8Jugf...

Oh Ozzy 😔

Gotta say that I really enjoyed the latest #Superman. I especially loved the traces of John Williams’s iconic theme sprinkled throughout. 🎶

The importance of promoting open practices in research, data and scientific computing is especially critical right now. I’m thrilled to be joining this pivotal organization and look forward to getting to know the community.

I totally judge the potential quality of your @letourfr.bsky.social commentary by how well you pronounce Pogačar. 🚴

After a great and rewarding tenure as Executive Director @cclusa.org, I am preparing to depart for a new opportunity. It was wonderful to lead this community of everyday folks dedicated to solving climate change. There's still much work to do on climate change, but CCE/CCL will surely do it.

Well those were some interesting fireworks tonight in Fernandina Beach. A gangway in the harbor loaded with people collapsed mid-display. People screamed and ran b/c this is America and they thought there was a gunman. Thankfully there was no shooter and only minor injuries from the collapse.

UPDATE: The Senate voted last night to advance the budget reconciliation bill, and voting on final passage will be tomorrow. Urge a NO vote: clusa.org/iradefense

As the GOP ire around the Byrd Bath grows...all I have to say is...play parliamentary tricks, run into the Parliamentarian. There is a way out of this though, it's called regular order.

Two hours of whacking the felt of a ball in the Florida sun will definitely prepare you for what comes next. 🎾 🔥

Today we celebrate the day all people living in the USA, including the formerly enslaved, were officially granted freedom - June 19, 1865. It is important that we not shy away from difficult conversations or attempt to ignore the past. Let’s do the work. #Juneteenth

Philadelphia Freedom 💕

And some say women are too emotional for positions of leadership 🙄

Turns out there was value in not shutting down my Twitter account 👀

“And the best thing you ever done for me is to help me take my life less seriously. It's only life after all.”

I'm not a regular watcher of cable "news," so when I do watch I'm always jarred by how partisan the programming is. Sort of like hopping between Twitter and Bluesky. We are worlds apart in our views and discourse. But each side now has it's own set of "facts" and reality. Hard to see how to bridge.

Today we remember #MemorialDay

But what did Donna say?!?!?!? #FernandinaBeach #AmeliaIsland

America's super power has always been attracting the best and brightest from around the world. We're the beacon. The hope. The opportunity. All of that diversity made us strong, not weak. Have we struggled? Yup. Have we figured it out? Nope. But there's always an optimism that we could and would.

The OBBB is moving towards the House floor. This is still a great time to reach out to your Representative and tell them to vote no.

Both of these things can be true - we have a major gap in our health care and policy landscape when it comes to long term care, services and supports. Medicaid was not intended to be the payer for care for our most vulnerable. But the answer to the problem isn't to cut Medicaid.

The sun is shining. The water’s warm. And the shark teeth are plentiful. It’s a good morning on Amelia Island.

Trust the wisdom of the cookie 🥠

Ahem

The pirates have landed!! #ShrimpFest #FernandinaBeach #AmeliaIsland

Happy Shrimp Fest!! 🦐

Exactly how many jobs does Marco Rubio have right now?

Grants to local communities to solve local problems was traditionally a smart "Republican" way of spending money effectively. It's good public policy. These extreme weather events and impacts aren't going away, even as the funding to mitigate them does. www.npr.org/2025/05/01/n...

The sense of accomplishment I feel after successfully constructing a piece of IKEA furniture singlehandedly can not be overstated.

You know what day it is.

Not gonna lie...I had to look up the definition of oligarchy to make sure that it meant what I thought it meant (spoiler alert, I wasn't exactly correct). It's not wrong to argue that using plain language is always best in communications. Using plain language doesn't mean dumbing things down.

Just a reminder that misinformation spreads as easily on the left as it does on the right. And educated folks aren't immune to fake news. It may seem old-fashioned, but I still attempt to verify any wild rumors I see online through mainstream traditional news outlets. Good journalism still matters.

Happy Earth Day! 🌍🌎🌏
