My hollyhocks bloomed yesterday. This is an anti war post.

#s 2 & 5 seem particularly relevant.

#AWP25 this is happening in a couple of hours. Come thu! #bravingthebody

Woke up worried about my son’s friend who has seen ICE agents at the T station near her house & is now afraid to go to school. Then listened to devastated Swedish officials describe the worst shooting in Swedish history @ a school that offers language classes to immigrants. & now this. “Audacious”??

Worth a try?

Looking forward to this TONIGHT (12/12) @7pm @ The Grolier.

Posting this in honor of Tim Walz aka #tampontim. (It’s ok if boys know about tampons. Sometimes, they’ll even ask about them.) #harriswalz2024 @redhenpress & @southernhumanitiesreview

Saying the quiet part out loud is now a campaign strategy. #kamala2024
