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

Saturday, we visited House on the Rock for the first time. It was an experience. By the time we were done my eyes hurt. I’m glad we went tho. I had no idea what to expect other than the Carousel. One room left me speechless as I tried to absorb it. So bizarre.

Opinion: I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.

The East Wing is totally gone. I can’t believe it

A small (very red) #Wisconsin rural town had over 100 people at #nokings rally today. This is what democracy looks like! ❤️ 🦋

WTF!!??? 🙄 He is not talking about Jan6ers or sovereign citizen types

Donald Trump is a fucking fascist. Supporting him makes you a fascist. Not going to stop saying it.

I made some free printable bookmarks for you to use in any Banned Books Week displays/programs/etc you may have. They're meant to give folks *action items* to take with them beyond that single week. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

I just put my order in!

Spooky decorations LOL

I made a Weeping Angel for my Halloween display. It started as a gold styrofoam angel I thrifted from a local shope for $15 😁🪽🪦

Yay! I fit four bales of straw in my Crosstrek! Boo! I had just vacuumed it out 😬

I know I only post my dog, flowers, etc. I just can’t get into anything deeper rn. I am exhausted with, well everything. I hope at some point the American pendulum swings the other direction.

I am sitting quietly outside with my dog, I glance up to catch a large migration of Nighthawks. There was no sound and I might not have even noticed since I was so focused on the hummingbirds right in front of me. Sometimes you gotta look up!

My veggie garden this year is disaster but look at these gloriously sweet tomatoes and raspberries!

Not sure the cause but my favorite apple tree (dwarf Macintosh) has only about a dozen apples this year 😐

Ruby’s job is to be by my side “helping”. She doesn’t understand that her rushing in isn’t always a help. The butterfly didn’t hang around 😂

Moss around the yard, even on our doormat

Center of northwest hemisphere is in the middle of nowhere 🤣

I think Ruby likes camping but I still feel judged by her hahaha “We have a perfectly nice house, why are we out here!”

A few growing things I saw over the weekend #WisconsinStateParks

Full rainbow on my way home from work 🌈

We also have blueberries! Yummy!

Flowers in my yard

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

I am finally catching up with my book granny squares. I took a break from making them, but I kept on reading. My list is now quite long. The Staircase in the Woods by @chuckwendig.bsky.social Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson

Makes me like the band even more!

Edible berries in my yard

That was my hike this morning

Edibles foraged along my hike 😋

Monday morning hike ❤️ #Wisconsin #IceAgeTrail

Sometimes when it seems like the world is insane, all I can do is go for a hike to stay grounded. #IceAgeTrail #Wisconsin #nature

Sometimes all it takes is one person

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends! During these challenging times when our idiot president keeps trying to antagonize you, our closest ally, I want you to know that many of us Americans value, cherish, and support our neighbor to the north!

A tornado watch is now in effect for west-central Wisconsin until 8 pm.

We enjoyed our trip to New England. I can see why so many spooky stories have origins in these areas. Beautiful but still has a certain creepiness in the fog that I loved 👻

“The water here tastes funny” Ruby quickly learned not to drink alone the shore

Ruby approves of Maine 😁😂🤣

Today I completed one of my Canadian side quests! I found the cottage I fondly remember spending summers back in 70’s & 80’s. No older family left to give me directions. Google Earth, memories, and a couple photos helped me find it today! 🇨🇦🧭📍
