I’m in the bullseye area for the storms tonight. If I don’t make it there are two things I need you to do.
1)Politicize my death to the point people are sick of hearing about the NWS NOAA.
2) Make sure my husband gets on my laptop finds OneDrive and publishes the star quilt pattern

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

Fair warning @sarahdavisagain.bsky.social I am trying the melatonin that @philenespanol.bsky.social recommended. If they work I might kiss the guy.

That little tortoise kitty isn’t getting wet food tonight. She’s why the race went to hell in a hand basket.

I have high hopes for this race. When she watches good things happen

At least Fox has never done this during a NASCAR race 🤷‍♀️
According to journalist Christopher DeHarde, “Apparently there's been a signal loss at the track. TV, scoring, everything is all gone.”

Was Larson really just on my TV whining about not winning? Dude you got beat by a better driver and honestly a better person.

Just tuned into the Xfinity race. What’s the storyline? I was watching Arkansas play basketball

I knew something was wrong with Josh last week and I am thankful that it’s “just pneumonia” I was really worried it was something else.

Trump sanctioned the law firm of Paul Weiss for big a Democratic donor and one of VP Harris's top supporters. (That is the real reason) The firm just agreed to give $40 MILLION in free legal services to Trump admin to lift the sanctions. This was a corrupt shakedown. It's an impeachable offense

The same applies to quilt patterns, even the free ones. We use the freebies to get you on our mailing lists hoping you will buy other products or you’ll hang out on our website or YouTube channel so we can pay the bills and eat.
It is actually *not* okay to pirate books, even if your library sucks. It's not okay to pirate books if your library is great. It's not okay to pirate books.

Libraries are great. They have digital & physical media. Some libraries offer services to people out of city & out of state.

Be better.

The other day I looked at who was blocking me here. I am blocked by one quilter, guessing she’s an OWL, and the rest are men. That makes me really happy. Not sure if it’s because I have an inclusive racing list but I like to think it is and that makes their 🍆 shrivel.

Baseball media: if you do not loudly report on this I do not want to hear a goddamn thing from you about Jackie Robinson on April 15.

The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.

Judge Boasberg said he would issue a written order with the questions he wants answered “since apparently my oral orders don’t appear to carry much weight.”

It was quite a hearing. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

If Kamala won there wouldn’t be a website for people to turn teachers in for creating safe spaces for students
While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard.

Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.
