Check out the 11/13 ep of Make Me Smart. @kimberlyadams.bsky.social and @kairyssdal.bsky.social explain whats going on with the govt and economics. I got a whole lot smarter! Spoiler - BOTH parties are to blame. www.marketplace.org/shows/shows/...

Remember, remember the Fifth of November. Happy Guy Fawkes Day if you commemorate it. www.mentalfloss.com/holidays/guy...

Swirling in my head: similarities between fundamentalist Christianity, Chiropractic, and the current regime. Each tells us we have a big problem that we cannot solve, then they present the FIX, leaving us in worse shape than we were in before! Our country needs skepticism and critical thinking 🤔

📣Check out what's happening around these parts!📣 A local restaurant is stepping up to feed anyone who needs a hot meal. If you are ever in Lincoln NE, Muchachos is a great spot to support! (their post in comments)

My new favorite sticker! @raygunsite.com

Princess Juno of cushyblanky To cleanse your Bsky feed!

Keep fighting, #altgov friends!

Lighting the night for Leukemia and Lymphoma awareness! My partner will be released from UNMC soon and will continue to recover at home.

The divisions that this week laid bare have been unsettling, as I spent 30 years as an evangelical Christian. I'm trying to understand what happened to friends still practicing. The lyrics to an old song kept ringing, "They'll know we are Christians by our LOVE." How would the lyric end today?

Left my partner at the Buffett Cancer Center this evening for a stem cell transplant and two week stay. Good vibes and whatnot welcome, please!

Guaranteed to bring a smile, and we all need that! Check out the cameos.🙂

Just watched The Big Short for the first time in years. One of the final lines in the film was a character noting that every time the economy turns, people blame immigrants and poor people. Nothing has changed. The privileged always get bailouts, while we commoners get sold out.

Somebody tell this tree it's still AUGUST!!

I'm here for that headline! Say it fast 5 times. I dare ya.

Tell me again how our country is beyond racial problems....NOT! apnews.com/article/alab...

They're calling it Cornhusker Clink?!?!?!?

Here's Juno "helping" me on WFH day yesterday. Happy #Caturday! #catsofbluesky

POSITIVITY BREAK! Let's share some good news or small wins happening in our lives! Nature always helps my mood 🌳🌸🌺

AI captioning for the win. I'm calling her "Security Gnome" from now on 🤪😆

I place the blame for this insanity on Fox News and every other far right broadcaster. People had to be brainwashed to think this way.

Taking a rest before heading to a play tonight. Juno sez yes please! She's a bit clingy since I got home from vacation. #catsofbluesky

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

How can this man sleep at night while utterly ignoring Jesus' actual words?!?!?

We've sadly lost our sense of the Greater Good.

HOW DO WE STOP A MOB BOSS?!?

You know how, at the recording of "We Are the World," there was a sign above the door saying, "Check Your Ego At The Door"? The Senate needs that. 😃😁😅🤪😂

Exactly!

My partner is undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma. Yesterday, we had our first appt at our state's premier research hospital (through a university). As I surveyed the large campus, I wondered how much cancer research has been interrupted due to this heartless administration.

Pulled the curtain closed due to heat and Juno takes full advantage. #catsofbluesky #caturday

I'm reasonably new to the #meidastouchnetwork party. Congrats on this milestone, and thank you for your work!

Bloomscroll break!! #floraphotography

I had to stop watching Handmaid's Tale when the Washington Monument was turned into a giant cross. So triggering to me. We MUST STOP the Christian Nationalists! Keep mobilizing! Keep protesting!

What an exciting day! Couldn't participate due to temp medical thing, but thrilled to see folks turn out in cities and towns of all sizes. Ogallala, Nebraska! Gunnison, Colorado! Ada, Oklahoma! Share other smaller cities and towns No Kings videos!

The Sunken Gardens are starting to look fantastic! #lnk #publicgardens #floraphotography

Today, I learned the term Tin Soldier refers to a pretend and heartless one. Maybe you recall it in the opening line of Neil Young's Ohio. Then there was this one. I was a kid when this song was released. youtu.be/6PYyPFr5USE

They lie as easily as they breathe.

Immigration raids at three food processing plants today in Omaha www.wowt.com/2025/06/10/i...

My littest granddaughter was discharged from the NICU today after being born at 34 weeks. Doing a happy dance!🎇💃🎉

A cool and rainy #caturday morning calls for a nap!

Time for a clease- one of my favorite local hiking spots - in Iowa?

Much love to veterans' families on the 81st Anniversary of D- Day. May your ancestors' memories bring comfort.

*daily dose of cats* Buddy is on watch, but Juno doesn't care. #catsofbluesky

Wow! So proud of Tulsa for getting this over the finish line. I grew up there and visited recently.

Hey, coastal folks - don't make flyover country folks a monolith. There are independent thinkers all across this country. This SW Missouri farmer has an important message to his R neighbors. www.facebook.com/share/1LrVsr...

There's an underlying reason that people struggle to make ends meet - wages have not kept up with the cost of living. Many red states have a min wage of $7.25/hr. Addressing that would help a lot of folks lean less on the federal gov. This needs to be the convo.

Anyone remember the 1993 Kevin Kline / Sigourney Weaver film "Dave"? The President has a serious health event and the administration finds a lookalike to fill in. Betcha Trump watched it recently.😜

More flowers to lift our moods. We need it. #rabbitrabbit #planthappy

Juno and I are Easy like Sunday Morning #commodores #catsofbluesky

Re-reading Michael Lewis' #TheFifthRisk from 2018. He speaks with many Fed workers who explain why they are critical for our safety and security. Super timely today! #altgov

Lovely time at the local gardens. Being around plants soothe the soul! 🪷🌳🌼🌿
