I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

A bigger glimmer today - it’s the first day of Spring and the newest exhibition: ***Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools: 300 Years of Flemish Masterworks*** at Peabody Essex Museum is spectacular. Get to an art museum near you for inspiration and a large dose of hope. #supportmuseums #supportthearts

Today’s glimmer - sunshine and temps above 60 with the scent of spring in the air. Bonus was finding red and gold raspberry canes for sale. Now to watch the weather and await the perfect planting temperatures. ☀️ 🌱

Hey world, getting ready to do more storytelling and advocacy with my needle and thread over here on Flashes & Bluesky. Stay tuned and keep stitching! 🪡

Glimmer report… time spent with good friends and being able to tear myself away from the news. Another is remembering that spring is coming and with it is a reminder that many good things have been building strength just below the surface and are getting ready to burst forth and inspire us.

The glimmers have been few and far between but this was a surprisingly tasty discovery today. It’s reminiscent of spring turning into summer and *almost* lovely enough to distract from the winter we find ourselves in. Almost.

In my search for daily glimmers, I’m way overdue to shout out to @altnps.bsky.social for being a loud voice and a bit of light in the dark. Shine on with your brilliant selves!!

And if you’re reading this and you’re not already following them, start NOW.

The AMA is stepping up to provide important information about influenza and other relevant infectious diseases now that twitler has silenced the CDC.

The glimmers were harder to find today but they were still out there. Fresh snowfall. A few quiet hours. A new-to-me sweater that makes me think of Halloween. Learning of more voices that are pushing back against the onslaught from the WH.

Today’s glimmer is finding peace in a quiet house and realizing it’s not too late sign up to attend this evening’s virtual program at Concord Museum.

Today’s glimmer? Listening to birdsong despite the cold weather and world affairs.

Having a “hello, world!” kind of moment over here 🥰 but entering February looking for the glimmers and small joys and grateful to be back to work in Salem!
