Not sure how to describe myself. I'm pushing 70 (how did that happen!?). Retired private sector and federal service employee. I'm a blue dot in a very red state. I'm a "glass half full" person, so I'm hopeful for the future. And - I'm not that "Karen". :)

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

I signed up for these classes (I accidently signed up for both at the same time) and am thoroughly enjoying them. If you're able, I'd recommend taking them when they're next offered.

Good morning.
Speaking truth to power is never free - it can cost reputation, comfort, even safety. But silence costs more: it corrodes integrity, enables harm, and leaves others alone in the dark.
Thank you @karenattiah.bsky.social for showing why truth, though costly, is still worth it.

A fantastic thread on the terrorist attack on CDC. 👇
A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵
An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.
