AOC is my northern light in these uncertain times.
AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.
I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

My cup is overflowing after #NASP2025! It was so meaningful to be close to home and have of my school psych circles sharing the experience together, especially as I get ready to step into the role of NASP delegate for WA. Endlessly thankful for this journey and the amazing people along the way 💚💚

Saturday finish! This is quickly becoming my mantra for these stressful times. I will not let my joy, civility, and compassion be taken from me.
Time for a wash and a hoop. #stitchsky #crossstitch

Our Sunday hike was up the north side of a hill in our local state forest, so we didn’t see the sun until we got up to the top. Worth the wait!!

This is going to be a hard one for us, but we can do hard things. If anyone can share a minority-owned drug store-type website I’d be deeply grateful. #boycotttarget

The first day we had our feeder out, the only bird we saw all day was a black-capped chickadee. So, naturally, we nicknamed them “Chonk”adee since they were the only one eating.
It’s mostly juncos these days, so it’s fun to see our good friend Chonkadee on the camera! 🪶 #birding #birdfeeder

I am really enjoying and feeling solidarity with the lightly panicked and discombobulated energy that the Spotted Towhees are bringing to the feeder this week.
