Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

I’m three weeks behind on podcasts, but immediately skipped ahead to listen to Flightless Bird when I saw the topic today. Will be giving webworm a listen to.
Focus on the Family was a part of my household as a kid and will never be a part of mine as an adult.

Between sessions doomscrolling I managed to read quite a bit while laid up with a broken foot still. Fingers crossed I get good news this week from the doctor! #booksky

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

I am a library girl through and through, but I loved this book so much that I’m purchasing the next two immediately. Currently the seventh hold on one copy for the second book and that won’t do!
I don’t often purchase new books, but this series is worth it #booksky

Welp, just to round out a truly terrible week, I broke my foot and am in a boot for the foreseeable future. Which means no sewing for work or fun. And way too much time to doomscroll.
Cool cool.

Received my first Penzey’s spice order today. If anyone else loves cooking and baking and also wants to support companies with morals, I highly recommend!

Great. Just got a message from the school nurse. My 5 year old was in the office because she had to change her pants after another student vomited next to her and she was hit with it. So we’re basically doomed. Yay sick season!

Have I finished the quilt from the last MQAL? No.
Am I about to jump into a new one and pick out pretty new fabrics? Yes.

I alsofinished this yesterday. It’s a five star read for me. It’s pretty heavy and maybe feels a little too close to certain realities now, but it kept me hooked. #booksky

Finished listening to this yesterday. Too young to have lived through the Challenger disaster, but this was an eye-opening read. #Booksky

I know my parents aren’t the only ones! This is a slip for my first parent teacher conference in Kindergarten almost 30 years ago.

I never moved or changed schools when I was a kid, but I like to imagine starting over on a new social media app to be sort of the same thing.
