My book of the moment - needed a break from politics & can’t commit to a ginormous size book just yet. (Exception: Simon Winchester)

Do you hear that?

That’s right!

It’s the song of the wild Nocturnal New England Snowplow!

It’s mid-February so they’re giving that lovely scraping on pavement mating call that is typically returned around 2am by the Nocturnal Snowblower.

Thanks momma nature. 🎧 💤

1 in 36 have autism
1 in 26 have epilepsy
1 in 9 have adhd
(Yes, 2024 CDC data)

1. My family is lucky enough to cover all 3. Go team ND!
2. If healthcare becomes as abysmal as it could…we’ll have to flee or die.
3. Some decisions made by the masses aren’t thought thru until it’s far too late.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

President Trump's talk of acquiring Greenland has sparked creative proposals, from a bill to rename the island "Red, White and Blueland" to a satirical petition for Denmark to buy "Califørnia."

As much as I love the fact that @maddow.msnbc.com is on nightly again (at least for a while) - I sincerely struggle with the fear and dread.
It’s like a real life thriller but
it’s…
well…
REAL.

New England weather is really strange. It’s basically a guessing game. The most accurate guess is the French toast alert system.
I’m guessing 4 to 6 inches of sloppy grody snow in Camberville. Yay…
It's a winter-storm-watch kinda weekend. NWS says 6-8, Matt Noyes says maybe a foot! But we're not going to 4 Slices because of this but because this storm could be followed by at least two more storms in a few days. That adds up to a lot of French toast.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Saw @chrislhayes.bsky.social brilliantly discuss the concept of attention on a cold rainy evening here in Camberville Mass. Then came home to news about mass FBI firings & another plane crash.

My own attention is now scattered as hell.

Someday a Friday night will be…a Friday night. Right?

I love Somerville, Mass
It’s horrifying that SPS is having to fight against ICE & has to specifically say that they are an inclusive environment “regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or immigration status.”
But they are…my life in the blue bubble.

I’m that Southern Californian in New England who shrugs at a 3.8.

This one tried tho. Nice little start that made me do what I did in Berdoo: look for things that could fly off walls.

I’ll give it credit for making me look & wonder.

Congrats to momma nature & plate tectonics. #EarthquakeNerd

I may not be able to scientifically prove that increasing one's garlic bread intake drastically improves overall quality of life, but on the other hand, you can't prove that it *doesn't*.
