Joe Biden, you’re gonna beat this cancer. You’re a great man with a strong spirit, and you have a family that loves and supports you, not to mention tens of millions of us grateful for your steady, principled leadership.

I won't forget one teacher who changed my life.
I think of her often, and want to share a few words about her (and thank our nation's teachers) during #TeacherAppreciationWeek. https://youtu.be/tsaxujeZ1vQ?si=6d6Ib0m0QuU4_7Im

This essentially leaves only Michael's and Hobby Lobby. Which pretty much leaves just Michael's.
I'm not a crafter, but my sympathies go out to those who are. I hope you can still make beautiful things.

I don't have any special ability to connect with those of us who have transitioned. But I feel that, somewhere, the spirits of Bobby and Ethel are horrified by the child they brought into the world together.

This Valentine's Day, it might be helpful remembering that the following companies have apparently donated money to Tr*mp and Project 2025: Hershey Products, 1-800 Flowers, and Florist (dot) com. Let's find alternative ways to celebrate our love without further enriching these haters of democracy. 👍

Is anyone else secretly hoping that the unidentified drones flying over NJ are time travelers or aliens--either would work, in my fantasy--who have come to save us?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are on this earth for a reason. It may be you are someone’s best friend, it may be you are the caretaker to a hurt animal, it may be you smiled to someone on the bus & so they made it through the day. But you are needed. Thank you for existing.
