That night when Toad went to bed he thought the biggest thoughts that he could think. Toad thought about giant sunflowers. He thought about tall oak trees. He thought about high mountains covered with snow.

It was a joy to swear @nicoleozer.bsky.social in as the Speaker's appointee to the @calprivacy.bsky.social Board. I am grateful to her for serving, and grateful to outgoing Board Member @bnonnecke.bsky.social for her thoughtful service. Thank you both on behalf of the Board and California! ⭐

Toad sipped his tea. “Frog,” he asked, “are you making this up?” “Maybe yes and maybe no,” said Frog.
