The White House and other government entities are joining Bluesky as I type. That will bring a new group to bsky that many have not dealt w before. Don't engage, just block their asses. Give them no oxygen, starve them out.

They may arrive tomorrow

In the failed state of California in the overrun city of Los Angeles today I drove my mom to the airport, got some coffee with a friend, got the kids from school and worked on some podcast edits. Thank god the United States Military will be sent in to shoot unarmed civilians. This cannot hold.

Just did a 2 day self-imposed retreat. Reflected on 24-25 SY, planned my summer priorities (Health tops the list), set up a workout plan, and made a meal plan of slow food (homemade pasta Thurs). And I slept. Relaxed but also feel like I have a purpose to look forward to each day. Highly recommend.

Spent last weekend in beautiful Québec, and made it home through a storm that dropped 18-21 inches of snow. As usual, we were well taken care of by Prométour, our tour company. Can’t recommend enough!

News is overwhelming. People offline don't understand what's happening. Their rights are being pulled out from under them. Print out these flyers and take it to the streets. Featuring a QR cosd that links to explainer and action items. www.disability-rights-watch.com/2025/02/12/t...

So I guess the way to solve this problem is to teach the CEOs how to hide under their desks once a month.
After the shooting, someone said a lot of the CEO’s are afraid to return to work.
Read that and now think about how our school-aged kids feel!

Photo below is from my trip in June. The wall in front of ND displays portraits created in a vintage style of the workers who played a part in the restoration of the cathedral, honoring them for their painstaking handiwork.

Cooked my butt off, ate well, took my turkey nap, and now sitting here with a cup of tea reflecting on gratitude. With #ACTFL24 less than a week behind me, I’m still freshly grateful for my profession and the wonderful people it put in my life. More to follow…
