Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Over 2.3 million confirmed so far and the rural wave is real. We were tracking ~3,000 events, but small towns across the country are pouring in with numbers we hadn’t included. A submission portal for city + attendance is coming soon. All counts will be double-certified before the final release.

Thanks to local hobby farm friends dropping off fresh milk and honey (thank you, happy cows and bees!), I made yogurt for the first time—sweetened with that golden honey and topped with raspberries from our still-producing bushes.
I'm feeling rather home-steady right now. 😉

Mercury floats into Scorpio on October 6th, a transit that favors secrets, deep research, and private thoughts. Your inner bullshit detector is strong now, so trust it. Mercury remains here until the 29th. #astrology #mercuryinscorpio #horoscope

Making the bed with 3 “helpful” golden retrievers means more flops, wiggles, and tail thumps than straightened sheets. Welcome chaos every time.

Today's schedule, according to my waking dream, is far more intriguing than reality. "Meryl Streep at 10, a call with PM Giorgia Meloni at 1."

Currently, Uranus is retrograde in the sign of Gemini.
Uranus = freedom Gemini = speech Retrograde = appears to be going backwards.
