Boyteen did the “all the friends are home for the holidays” gathering this afternoon after he & I ran some errands, & then the Hubbs, Girlteen & I just chilled & vegged on this Shortest Day. Watched
✔️Suicide Squad
✔️X-Men Apocalypse
✔️Five Nights at Freddy’s
& now SNL.
Not a bad day at all.

Take 2: Thanks to Sen. Jeff Irwin for hearing #MIFLOC in committee today & to colleagues for voting it out to the full chamber. Grateful to #MotheringJustice, @michleague.bsky.social & so many other state & nat’l partners.

Today, the MI Momnibus package got out of the Senate w/bipartisan support. One step closer to seeing #ReproJustice in Michigan. Grateful to the State of Birth Justice & #mileg partners Sens. @sarahanthony.bsky.social, @stephanielilychang.bsky.social, Mary Cavanagh & Sylvia Santana. #MoveThatMomnibus

I hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving has had a happy, thoughtful one. I am so grateful for a wonderful family, dear friends, thoughtful colleagues, Trabectedin (IYKYK), & much-needed down time.
