I've been super busy and not on here lately, but I wanted to share the first bakes of the holiday season for me. Egg nog and pecan pies! Yummy!

Hot take: If you need to get out of the vehicle to help your kid(s) get out, you should park in the parking lot and NOT be in the drop off area. About half of the people dropping kids off at our local elementary school don't seem to agree with this.

I enjoy the financial stability and sense of purpose my job is giving me, but I miss the free time I had, especially with my kids. Wish I could work 3/4 or 1/2 time, but I'm in the USA, where you only get health insurance if you work 40 hrs/week. Sigh.

Really enjoyed our trip to Winnipeg. We stayed in a busy area, by the exchange district, but I was never overwhelmed with people or activity. People were very nice, especially when they learned we were from the states. Loved the diversity represented all over and the variety. 1/

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

On this #CatboxSunday, our cats are preferring the cat tree-top cat bed instead. The first picture makes it look like #HerculesTehCat is half tortoiseshell, but it's just #PegasusTehCat squished in with him. #Cats #Catsky #CatsOfBluesky

NEW THEORY: Maybe he was pointing at a mirror behind her! That makes more sense to me. 🎵 He's talking to the "man" in the mirror. 🎶 🎵 He's telling him, "quiet, piggy." 🎶

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message. /1

I made a bracelet. I need to redo the clasp to shorten it up a little, but it's otherwise done. My design. It's not perfect, but I'm very proud. #Beads #Beadsky #Jewelry #JewelryDesign #BeadDesign

He calls this seditious, says it's punishable by death. Read that again. DEATH. For a PSA encouraging service members to follow the constitution and their oath and THE LAW. He wants these public servants killed. Madness.

Oh they don’t like the whistles? Hey everyone, they don’t like the whistles. If you use them it makes the armed goons sad.

Welp, gotta follow rules.

Reporter: Is there anything incriminating in the Epstein files, sir? Trump [leans in and points directly at reporter while squinting eyes]: Quiet! Quiet, Piggy! Trump [turns back to press pool]: Go ahead. And then they continue to ask a question about Venezuela like nothing happened?! ARGH!

Elder Octopots.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

It occurs to me now that the discipline of history was not born out of reverence for the past, but rather out of somebody watching the people in charge make the most insane decisions and just being like “if I don’t write this down nobody’s ever gonna believe any of it happened”

Did some gardening today. Moved the hyacinths to the front beds and removed some VERY overcrowded tulips. We dug up about a dozen spots I had marked earlier in the year, selected the best bulbs, and replanted about 10 of them. We had over a gallon of tulip bulbs left over! Prolific! #Gardening

During an abduction patrol in Asheville, North Carolina, ICE and CBP GOONS chained a group of individuals together. Additionally, masked goons prevented concerned neighbors from obtaining the individuals’ information to contact their families. (November 15, 2026)

Happy #Caturday to all who celebrate with early #CatboxSunday greetings as well. These 2 went to the vet for checkups the other day and have been using their crates as beds ever since. They love them. Lovable oddballs. #HerculesTehCat #PegasusTehCat #CatsOfBluesky #Cats #Catsky

Yesterday was a creative bust. Decided to frog a bracelet I had started the day before and made a bracelet (pictures below) I ended up frogging today (didn't like the colors or how it looked overall and I messed up the clasp). Some days are just not productive. Sigh. #Beading #Beadsky

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

A recent leak from an ICE detention facility near Houston shows hundreds of detainees packed into a shared room without beds or bathrooms. The footage highlights allegations that the facility's air conditioning is kept on maximum, intentionally subjecting occupants to freezing conditions.

Planning on going to the Winnipeg area during the kids' fall break (26-30). Anyone have any advice on places to check out or things to do? Partly going so we can support Canada instead of the States, but also to see if we would consider moving there if/when things get rough. #Canada #Winnipeg

I don't understand how baklava stays so crispy and perfect while also being covered in such a sticky sweet tasty honey syrup that should make it all soggy. It's magic and I love it. #Baklava

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.
