Hub restored a small printing press. Now we need movable type. Hub made some wooden prototypes. 72 pt letters laser cut on maple. I flipped the last photo to see what it will look like once it is printed. The letters are made in larger blocks & then cut into individual letters.

There won't be a 4th of July celebration in my household. The US I knew growing up doesn't exist anymore. I cannot adequately express how much that breaks my heart.

Cass Elliot and John Denver discuss voter registration 1972

"Do it"

Somewhere in there John says "everybody" and not a soul joins in, nobody wants to screw up such a flawless live performance. Well worth the watch

The message rings as true today as it did then

Fucking insane
BREAKING: The White House sent emails (seen below) to multiple influencers and Republican politicians to provide them with talking points to justify US intervention in Iran.

They are trying to brainwash us and rationalize war.

35 years ago, when Hub & I learned that we were expecting a boy, Hub went to Marshall Field's on State Street & bought Paddington for him. Hub was & still is a great dad. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful Hub/dad.

I know what I will likely die from & it isn't pretty. My mom had the same disease. It was terrible. I am relieved to see that Illinois is moving ahead with the medical aid in dying bill. Would I do that? I don't know but I would like to have the choice. capitolnewsillinois.com/news/medical...
‘Medical aid in dying’ bill moves forward in Illinois
A bill advancing in Illinois would allow terminally ill adults to end life on their terms with doctor support.

Ahead of Pride month, here's a reminder:
You come out when you're ready.
You come out when you feel safe.
Not every coming out story is roses. Sometimes, it's rather prickly.
Str8 people don't have to come out so why do we?
It's your choice, your story and it's on your timeline.
Love you all 💙🧡💛💚💜

I have several family members with autism so I appreciate that my governor supports our family.

My wonderful husband (see pinned pic) took special care of me today. I was sick & in a lot of pain. Brought me ice packs, made sure I was warm enough, brought me food & drinks. Stayed close by in case I needed anything. I hate being sick but I am so fortunate to have someone who loves me so much.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

Let that sink in.

Hey Doctors - when you are sending your patients for testing, give them some idea when they will get the test results, especially, if it's going to be a long time. Day 7 and now the weekend.
