Mother’s Day frittata 💐

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents.

🚨 ICYMI: A draft 2026 budget proposal obtained by WaPo reveals the Trump admin plans to cut approx. $40 billion from the Department of Health and Human Services—about one-third of its discretionary spending. As public health experts, we have serious concerns. Let's dive in. 🧵

So if the CR provided continued funding for HHS programs, who is going to manage them? #CR #HRSA #HHS. What will happen to block grants for states?

I think I’m an empath, and I’m emotionally exhausted 😩

Work related travel to DC on Friday. I’m nervous.

#ThreeGoodThings for Friday, February 28, 2025. 1. I still have a job. 2. I am going to hair salon tomorrow for some pampering. 3. I will spend $0 today as part of economic blackout day.

Boycotting Amazon. Going on my first visit to a Costco. Wish me luck!

The Health Resources and Services Administration at HHS provides funding for HIV/AIDs care, maternal health, and community health centers. Today some employees arrived at work to find their access revoked. Terminated without even being notified. Total number affected unknown. @alt-hhs.bsky.social

Is #MySpace still around?

I’m late 50s. Why am I in my 20-30s in my dreams? I subconsciously want to be younger?

What’s going on with the sourdough craze? #breadfrenzy

First time eating mullet. Too bony for me. I don’t like to work for my food.

Do people not understand “accidents”? Why when there’s an unfortunate event do people get judgy and need someone to blame? Why must every sad/bad situation be deemed as evil intent? Stop casting stones! Humanity is not perfect and accidents happen…

Thank you to my high school English teacher introducing me to “yellow journalism” in assigning us to read 1984. Orwell was disturbingly prescient. #FakeNews

Do hopes and dreams eventually end as we get older? What do people > 50 years look forward to in 2025?

Maybe I can get to 25,000 pages read before 2025…

My good girl…

Christmas list I gave my husband: live plants, new mattress, washable area rug, and bath salts. Did I forget anything important?

My oldest baby is 35 today. How is this possible? I do not feel old enough to have a child in their 30s. My mind is playing tricks on me.

There once was an X space That soon became a disgrace Blue skies would show Humanity would grow Kindness again has a place

BlueSky is Sociology 101 in action—What is “community?” Shared sense of belonging and collective consciousness.

So are we tweeting, posting, or blusking on this app?

This represents my Friday…
