I got cat scratch fever and I'm feline good. Used to work for a governor, enjoy political shenanigans, haven't been arrested (yet). Author (not sure how that happened but it did).

Doctor: So how did you pull a calf muscle?

Me: I was #dancing in an alley wearing a dog mask.

Last night, while doing #shenanigans in my city, I pulled a calf muscle so bad I am laid up in the recliner with cold packs.

Tonight I get to read a love letter at a #Valentine event. The letter that a distant relative, Willard, wrote to his intended bride, Ellen. The letter was written August 1871 and they married in October 1871.

The eye roll heard around the world . . . .
You gotta admit, the staffers in the background keeping it real are the best part.

Anyone surprised? Anyone???? As my state senator said, he told you what he was going to do and he's doing it.
Congress members, state election chiefs, and voting rights advocates are decrying President Donald Trump’s insistence that the federal government wrest control of elections from the states.

But Trump himself is doubling down on his stance. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Trump doubles down on taking over elections, as outrage builds
"Trump is using the federal government to weaken our democracy, and he has escalated his attacks in his second term,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said. “He will not succeed.”

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Me to friend who is here in a work visa from Europe:
You will not go to any 🧊 sightings, you will not interact with 🧊 in this community, you will not go record 🧊incidents.
You will make a plan in case you are grabbed.

#Caturday
Came downstairs this morning to a rousing game of hide and seek between the 7 lb canine terrier and the 15 lb feline. My winter coat hanging on a chair seemed to be the best hiding spot for the cat but his tail kept giving him away.

Went to an event where we assembled kits if whistles and handouts in Spanish/English. It was wonderful to see so many young people involved. I think I was the oldest one there.

Recently got to hear from a group who went to help protest in #Minneapolis, they referred to white women as the "Northface Moms" and I can't stop laughing.
What's happening is they are making Minnesotan's STRONGER instead of weaker. Those people are actively protecting their neighbors.

Damn it, I love Catherine O’Hara. She was insanely talented and never got enough recognition for it. What a loss.

How to tell a company hates 🧊 without them telling you they hate 🧊.
Wednesday I ordered 500 business cards with SALUTE on one side and a hotline number on the other from VistaPrint. They were supposed to arrive next week.
I received them today.
They are located in Massachusetts.

From my #smallbusinessowner friend:

"I took a chance and ordered some tea towels and tote bags from Japan because they were pretty and I needed to test the #tariff waters just to see if my decision to stop ordering direct from #Japan was the right one....

The strip of spikes for my bike helmet are being shipped today and I am inordinately happy that my bicycling adventures are going to have a little edge to them now 😆
