Hmm, at my age, where do I start? Mom, Grandmother, Wife, Horse Rescuer, Artist and Seller of found treasures. That covers all my current jobs.

Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social for your work and dedication to ACA. It came just in time for me to get insurance for my cancer treatment!

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero"

now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries
Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

What do you do when you are home sick and it's economic boycott day? I am boycotting Meta for the day as well.

Joker had to have his own journal/puppy book for all of his stuff. He has truly been the best therapy.

I find myself extremely disappointed in people who agree with what Trump, et al are doing. I don't even want to associate with them because they must have a totally different value system than I do and it's at such a deep level that I can't get past it.

Out today in @foreignpolicy.com: I wrote about what will happen if there is an H5N1 pandemic with Robert F Kennedy, Jr. in charge of safeguarding the health of Americans.

If H5N1 begins spreading human to human, the deaths will be counted in millions.🧵👇

Sad when it's your own Governor who gets called out for looking like a fool.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

I have been working on my boho journal and wanted to make some interesting paper for clusters and decorating my pages. I made this and now I am absolutely obsessed with it! I don't even want to tear it up to use.

I had to get him a cat bed because the dog beds are all too big. At least it's a place for him to light besides in between my feet. He still needs a name.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Today is our national day of shame as our incoming president pardons the rabble that stormed our capital and assaulted police officers while threatening our congress with bodily harm.

Am I alone in having a favorite pen? My morning pages today were mostly focused on the joys of my favorite pen while writing with the only pen I could find at 6 am. As it skipped and stuttered and because it is earth shatteringly important that every word that no one will ever read is faithfully
