Recently, people have started interrupting my lunch. I’m working 12hr/day, take maybe 10-15 min for lunch and they come into my office without asking & plop down without apology & jump in. By that time, it feels rude to tell them to come back later. I would never!!! #lunch #nolunch #rude

@jllamcorncat.bsky.social Coincidentally, this showed up on my feed last evening after we were talking about the old Mercury wagon. www.youtube.com/shorts/0R_lA...

When I was younger, I looked at Strom Thurmond and his fossilized ilk in congress and had so much hope that once the old white guys died off, we'd have better and more progressive politicians. How young and foolish I was. They were just replaced by younger old white men. #oldwhitemen

@paulachernoff11.bsky.social a Sunday night 20:00 game and I can actually stay up since I have tomorrow off. One benefit of working a weekend! #hockey #stanleycup

He's basically already done it, but tomorrow, Trump will officially make the US a complete laughing stock. He has desecrated the White House. The 34 times convicted felon should be in prison. Fuck him. And fuck everyone who voted for him.

I’ve been in healthcare for almost 40 years and was just spoken to in the most rude, condescending, nasty way by a physician that I’ve ever heard. It was the type of “conversation” where his goal was not to impart information, make a request, etc. the only goal was to belittle someone else.

Hubs asked why I ordered Hershey bars when he was unpacking groceries. I didn’t. Checked and there was all the ingredients for s’mores. Someone nearby is missing a bag of groceries. #smores

Finally taking a real lunch-first time in a few weeks. My quietly subversive buttons on my baseball cap. Read banned books is obvious but I fell in love with the flower button-foxglove daisy tulip -FDT. F*ck Donald Trump.

Got home just in time for hockey! Wow! First score 25 seconds in!!! #stanleycup #hockey

14 hr day, but I came home to this. Bodo and Poppy. Hubs with a Lemon Drop in hand not shown. #longday #work

The new audible app update offends my sense of order. The chapter option needs to be centered. #design #baddesign #audible

Listening to a fantasy novel, hoping to escape stress. My brain isn’t made for fantasy, apparently. Fairies and elves abound, rich world building but where does my brain go? Wondering about the genetics of the inheritance of fairy wing color.

And We Give France 🇫🇷 Permission

Ladies and Gentlemen your Buffalo Sabres. #sabres

Exciting game!!!!

Hubs just ran up from the basement, through the dining room, kitchen and down the hall fully nude. He was outside working and found a bunch of ticks so stripped outside. #gardening #ticks #nude

The Senate and Congress Must be turned Blue in November or by June 1st 2027 the United States will be in a recession. My Opinion VOTE BLUE

More wee hockey players. #hockey www.youtube.com/shorts/RZbvi...

multitasking tonight #sports #hockey #baseball #yankees #sabres #tgif

A whooping cough outbreak in an elementary school down the road. Meanwhile I finally got around to reading Candle In the Dark and only a few pages in, you get to its eerily prescient passage. Sigh.

Buffalo scores!!!!! #hockey #sabres #StanleyCupPlayoffs

0630 - 1630 meetings/training w/ no breaks. Fielding Teams requests throughout. #STRESSED! Since I've been home, have: -identified the dirt on the sitting room floor for hubs -been asked to remove viruses from his computer -called Burpee to fix order -fixed dinner 'cause he wanted to grill

First rose of the year. This is my favorite heirloom climber, zephirine drouhin. Best smelling rose ever. #rose #flower #gardening

Isn’t that the truth.

My favorite baseball match-up! #yankees #sox #baseball

Virginians: Today's the last day to vote on an important redistricting measure. I hope you'll vote YES—for Virginia, and for the entire country. You have a chance to help level the playing field as Republicans seek an unfair advantage in Congress. Please take it. Get more info: IWillVote.com/VA

I just voted for the Virginia redistricting referendum. Really great turnout at my precinct for a special election. Given all of the “no” signs in the area, though, I’m worried that it won’t pass. #vote #voting

Virginia! Bring a friend to to the polls tomorrow, April 21, 6am-7pm. Vote YES to stop gerrymandering and protect Virginia’s elections. Same-day registration means you can register AND vote in one trip. Spread the word! #VoteYesVirginia

I started my Monday by dropping my keys in the large city-provided trash bin. Had to empty and dump over to get them out and, coincidentally, hubs had filled it with a bunch of dirty bags from lawn cleanup. #monday

Virginia this is the last week to Early Vote. The referendum must pass, this administration needs to be stopped. This Vote is the first step. VOTE YES on the REFERENDUM

Excellent article by @emilymullin.bsky.social about the continued destruction of the U.S. vaccine program by RFK Jr. He may have been ordered to shut his mouth about vaccines, but he’s left malware running in the background that is causing chaos and confusion.

Temporary CDC “Director” Jay Bhattacharya is a non-practicing MD, economist, and whiny little shitbird with a persecution complex. He has ZERO education, training or experience in epidemiological study design and has no business at deciding what methodology should be used to evaluate vaccines.

Two parents sued a West Virginia school district for not allowing a religious vaccine exemption for their child. A district court granted them an injunction that was just overturned by the Fourth Circuit. Another victory for public health. @doritreiss.bsky.social thanks for the heads up.

Finished filing our taxes this morning. We paid more than trump and musk by orders of magnitude only for our "government" to cut services for the neediest while lining their pockets and attacking sovereign nations to hide the "president's" pedophilia. Really fucking sad. #taxes

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Kamala Harris warned everyone. Hillary Clinton warned everyone. Both were ignored and now the entire world is in imminent danger. I’ll never regret voting for them.

What if the United States had a Congress?

He needs to be gone. Impeached. Convicted and jailed. Removed before he drops a nuke. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen a president say

I wrote him this morning as well. Like you, I expect no response and no action against trump and his current madness.

My natural writing style includes using the Oxford comma and em dashes, both supposedly signs that something is written by AI. I've been writing this way for more than 50 years, I don't use AI but I'm increasingly conscious of how others may perceive something that I've written. #AI #writing

Stuarts Draft neighbors, still deciding your vote for April 21st? Or maybe you need a yard sign to share your support with family and friends. Come out to the Stuarts Draft Library on Wednesday, April 8th, between 4 and 6 pm to learn more about why we're voting YES to say no to Trump!
