I am particularly thrilled to have received Christmas cards from the President and Vice President. I know they send out tons of these, but it brought me a lot joy to receive these.

Because WHY NOT?!
If we can have a felon president that stacks the cabinet and everything else with douchebags and criminals, then Biden can pardon his son. Good for him and his son.

133 years ago today, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers was formed.
Joining the IBEW was the best decision I ever made in my life. Without that apprenticeship, I would not be where I am today. Over 800,00 members and going strong. #IBEW

This sweet girl (20 years old) isn’t feeling too good and spent some time at the vet today. Hopefully the results will come back positively and she will get better. Until then, think happy thoughts about our sweet cat Bora.

Ok, it’s nearly three weeks post-election. Checking in on folks should be a habit we all do. So, you’re here… how are you doing? How have you been managing this?

In this day in 1971, “DB Cooper” hijacked a Boeing 727 (northwest orient airlines flight) and parachuting from the plane midflight before disappearing. He has never been caught nor identified. This story has always fascinated me. Who was this guy and what happened to him? 🤷🏼♂️

On this day in 1963, Doctor Who aired for the first time. I loved Doctor Who while I was coming up and still enjoy it to this day. Some eras were better than others but I honestly prefer Jon Pertwee the most. #doctorwho

At the DNC Convention in Chicago with (nearly) all the labor delegates from Washington State. Our delegation had 22% union members. Which tracks with the 20% or so of the overall convention delegates being union members. Washington is a union state and we fight on, one battle at a time.
