You're Not Alone. Surround yourself with those who care, and cut ties with those who are exasperating.

I've had a few friends tell me they are seeking help in the form of therapy and meds, because they are feeling overwhelmed by all that is happening around us.

Family is what you make it. 💜
You're not alone. 😳👇

Before school she was reading a book about Sweden.

She was excited to learn about Kanelbullar - she could live on cinnamon rolls.

Make time for that Fika every day!

Oh also today, the US withdrew from every major international treaty for climate and environmental protection, violence against women and children, and peacebuilding.

More than at any point in the past 100+ years, we are the baddies now.

Law enforcement officers CANNOT use deadly force against a fleeing person fleeing unless they have a reasonable belief that the individual poses a danger to others (e.g., they know the person is armed). If in vehicle, the person must be threatening to use deadly force with the vehicle or other means

NEW: The ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, the Venezuela attack, the new White House Jan. 6 website—these each convey a powerful & unsettling message from Trump, Miller, and their crew: Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want. Beware.

Please read and share.
The Trump doctrine: Violence is us
The message is clear—be afraid.

Today, ICE murdered a woman in Minneapolis.

Tonight, we’ll be mourning her and the other lives that have been taken and traumatized by ICE.

I hope to see you there.

Tim Walz is mobilizing the MN National Guard, and reminds Minnesotans that the guard "is OURS - our teachers and our neighbors." He asks Minnesotans to respect them. "They're there to protect you and your constitutional rights. They don't wear masks."

Anyone else? 😂 no just me.

2026 news + acid reflux = they removed fluoride from the water here, but hey it’s okay, I have supplemented that. Eek, but that tummy acid is caustic… I should find the best sleep elevation.

Eliminate foods? Grr can’t we just eliminate the real source of the problem.

I have a kitchen tool that looks eerily similar to this. 😆

I’m having flashbacks to an episode of “Tales from the Darkside” - a new modern twist.

Congress is debating the Kids Online Safety Act — an overbroad bill that risks censoring everything from jokes and hyperbole to useful information about sex ed and suicide prevention.

This isn't about safety, it's about control.
Online Safety Bills Are Fueling a New Wave of Internet Censorship
State and federal bills seek to limit minors’ access to social media, but civil liberties advocates warn that the resulting online censorship threatens constitutional rights without delivering real safety.

I deleted an earlier post praising Hilton for stating that ICE agents were not welcome.

Hilton states "This hotel is independently owned and operated, and the actions referenced are not reflective of Hilton values.”

Well, telling ICE to get lost reflects my values.
Hilton shares fall after DHS says Minneapolis hotel canceled reservation due to immigration enforcement
"We are not allowing any ICE or immigration agents to stay at our property," an email cited by DHS said.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.
