This is a coup. Can everyone please admit it now? This executive order strips power from all branches except the executive branch.

Today I am just sad.

I am in disbelief that we are where we are, and that so many people are ok with it. I will stay mad and keep fighting, but am feeling the weight of everything today.

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social you need to help stop this hostile takeover of OPM, protect employee data, and spread the word this is happening.

We finally got some snow to go with the cold temps. I am hoping it doesn’t stick around for long, but will enjoy our rare snow day!

It has been forever since I’ve gone to the beach for sunset, but today reminded me that looking for some calm when the world
is on fire is almost always a good idea.

Bought the vinyl.

Still need to work out some little details.

Like getting a record player. 🤣🤣🤣

Sooo…vinyl records? I thought I’d said goodbye to them forever in the 90s. My son has discovered vinyl and wants to bring me along for the ride. Been resisting, but if I were hypothetically going to jump in, where do I start? Any decent yet not very expensive record players available these days?

A pretty picture from a place I’ve been

Please feel free to reshare with a pretty place you have been to.

Outer Banks, North Carolina

This. This is the whole game.

To distract myself from everything crashing down around us, I let my teens convince me that we needed not one, but two kittens, so our existing cat would have some friends. Meet Sequoia and Cypress.

I am the world’s worst poster, but working on being more of a contributor and less of a lurker. Trying to find some calm and light.
