✔️Both these people are iconic Americans. ✔️Both are household names. ✔️Both turn 80 in 2026. Can you add their contributions to this country. I'll start - Dolly's Imagination Library provides free books for a child's first 5 years.

Hate to spoil the vibe but gee tone is everything. Hope YOU are happy and bright today.

I think the question that should be asked is why is there the overwhelming need to 1)plaster everything in gold even if it goes against the style of the architecture and tradition 2) to go around naming buildings etc in his own name verses being the bigger person 3)always bullying #kindnessmatters

These plaques are recent updates to the Walk of Presidents outside the Oval Office. Take the time to read. Recall the Biden selection has a photo of an autopen and the name plaque "autopen". This is not Presidential (and a good Chief of Staff would have stopped it. #charactercounts

Why are "leaders" so full of animosity and just meanness. Today the president once again dressed down a female journalist and called MTG: "her new views are those of a very dumb person," the president wrote on Truth Social, calling Greene "washed up" and a "low IQ traitor." 1/2

Just me? There is a pile of bad hair dye jobs, toupee action along with questionable plastic surgery and makeup. Seriously, hire professionals. #whatwouldDollydo #whatwouldMarthaso

@thetnholler.bsky.social Remember this? www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

The takeaway from the Epstein votes is not "Trump is absolved of any wrong doing" or "let's blame the Biden Admin/ Dems". But let us raise daughters to have the strength & resolve to walk away from situations like the ones these women were put into by Epstein, Maxwell & friends.

Violence should be abhorred, especially toward Gov employees. Can we talk about Jan 6 and pardons again, pls.

@thetnholler.bsky.social Doing the math - this ciphers out to $52,631 per county. Feed TN says there are 690,000 Snap recipients in the state. This allows $7.24 per individual. (I’m guessing that’s about 2 boxes of generic Cheerios)

New sign today

White House tours are suspended indefinitely due to construction (btw the website isn’t updated) but during 250 year anniversary year a UFC fight with 5000 people and a 15,000 lb octagon is ok. Something’s wrong about this. (Note old East Wing).

Just finished this video by Brad Falchuk. Just watch it. www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

Don’t you long for a leader who builds people up, celebrates working to establish a better society for all and expresses compassion and empathy. This speech will go down in history….but not for good reasons. #unspeech

Every House Rules Republican just voted to block the Epstein Files Transparency Act from advancing.

Big Ears Festival 2025 lineup. It's a doozy bigearsfestival.org

What would Kamala do?

Swatching for gauge (Trump method). 1. Knit swatch 4 inches square. 2. Claim swatch is 6 inches square. 3. Do not block swatch. Blocking is woke. 4. Measure gauge. 5. If gauge is off, smash ruler. 6. Claim ruler was made by Biden. 7. Gauge is now correct. 8. Continue to not release Epstein files.

We were talking at home…. Anyone seen Texas Senator Ted Cruz the last few days? Anyone?

For those who would like a checklist. Posted 7-3-24, how’s it going.

Saturday “No Kings Day” is also “Knit in Public Day”. Just letting you know so you can multi-task.

Sure looks to me like he owns a black/dark suit. (Also note - hand is not in the Bible so did he really swear an oath? Jus’ saying’)

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social can Cabinet members be impeached?

The House on Thursday passed legislation that would require people to prove that they are U.S. citizens when they register to vote. It’s the latest effort to tighten voting laws tied to President Trump’s debunked claims of widespread election fraud. nyti.ms/3XWuNl7

Listening to the Secretary of Labor throwing out fake numbers of social security recipients. 24,000 people over 115 years old etc, etc. WTAF!!!!

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

While at #nashyarnfest we took over Parnassus Books! Field trips are great!

💥 BREAKING: Walt Disney Company shareholders voted today 99-1 percent to reject an anti-LGBTQ+ proposal, requesting that the company sever its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign and HRC's Corporate Equality Index. Disney Board recommended shareholders vote against the proposal.

She-Ro Retired Naval Officer Astronaut Sunni Williams has logged 62+ hours spacewalking (female record) and 9 months in space. Total time over 600 days. Will Pete Hegspeth’s DOD scrub her name from their website? (After all she is female)

Gearing up for #NashYarnFest this weekend. Looking forward to seeing fritters (friends and knitters) I’ve met at #MDKGetaway, and through Instagram and Bluesky. Plus lotsa yarn. #knitting

I think this blogger has a crush on me…

I don’t advocate defacing public property but I loved this message. (It looked like leaving this graffiti was a recent “thing” by local teens. It’s near an area decanted by floods last fall.

This sign greets everyone who enters my former workplace. Too bad the White House doesn’t have one.

Mother Jones, an American labor organizer: The first thing is to raise hell,” says I. “That’s always the first thing to do when you’re faced with an injustice and you feel powerless. That’s what I do in my fight for the working class.”

@johnpatrick1015.bsky.social welcome to Blue Sky. Find some people you want to follow and scroll under their name for their “starter pack”.

In 2023 Gov Lee of TN took these actions to “make schools safer” How’s that working out? www.tn.gov/governor/new...

@thetnholler.bsky.social FYI Rusty Crowe, et al.

I think we all needed a State funeral now. So many beautiful eulogies, such amazing respect for the formality of the occasion. We will all be better for it.

Remembering 1/6/20. - Tw-tter posts about Congressional/Hill staff wearing track shoes to work as they feated it would not be a normal day and deep concern about the consequences of the “rally”. - Reports of Maga folks traveling the Interstate to attend the “rally”. -Watching the day in real time

Pet peeve - didn’t anyone on staff learn this somewhere….

If we want to do this, people who believe in democracy need to start gearing up to run for school boards across the country ASAP.
