I bit the bullet and cancelled my #Adobe plan. I'll find some way to edit photos without it costing so much.
Adobe's tools are great. I love Lightroom, especially. But it's obscene how much the cost has risen in the last few years. It's a hobby and I have a fixed income. It's not feasible anymore.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Dinette is a precious soul. So gentle and sweet. Playful too! 💝
Meet MACC’s Barkin’ Bowie.
Dinette is 5 years old and 60lbs. She is a shy girl looking for a home to call her own. She is a gentle player with her doggy friends. She can’t wait to grow and gain confidence with you.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

All over Michigan, we're feeling the pain of high prices and loss of SNAP funding...
Like others are saying, don't cave - R's cannot be trusted as they've proven it over and over. Stay strong until they agree to D's terms and compromise.

Both @peters.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov had better not cave on the #Shutdown
We here in Bloomfield Hills #Michigan can see the BRUTAL cost increases to Health Care and demand the Democrats hold the line against these GOP false promises.
Read the room folks.
