Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.

That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Just a friendly reminder that our current Covid vaccines do not meaningfully prevent infection or transmission of Covid. Misleading the public about this fact led to massive distrust about vaccines and record vaccine hesitancy. It's SO crucial to make ppl aware of this fact to fight vax hesitancy

Call me basic, but I enjoy the J'Adore line, and today my #SOTD is J'adore D'eau. This alcohol-free flanker has milky white juice and smells like a rich lady's shampoo or body lotion. It's green balanced with florals. Entirely inoffensive. I love it. #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky
A bottle of J'Adore D'eau perfume. The main accords are white floral, floral, green, citrus, and fruity. The fragrance notes are jasmine sambac, green notes, magnolia, honeysuckle, neroli, and rose.

Catching Covid at the end of the summer brought our biking season to a sad & abrupt end. It was a huge bummer. Today we got back out there, biking under the bright blue sky, among the bluebells, on a perfect spring day. It totally filled my cup. 💙🤍💙🤍

This world is worse than you think when a white woman can call a 5-year-old autistic child a racial slur and then raise over $300k from other bigots and white nationalists for the purpose of "protecting her family" on a Christian version of GoFundMe.

My #SOTD is for the lilac lovers. This stunner smells like sticking your head in a lilac bush on a blue-skied spring day. A true lilac. It is so, so good. #PerfumeSky #FragranceSky #Perfume
A bottle of Aerin - Lilac Path. The main accords are white floral, floral, fresh, green, musky, and amber. The notes are lilac, jasmine, angelica, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and galbanum.

Solid update. Good work, team!
A post in the Panda Express Reddit shows communication from corporate that says: Mask policy didn't last long oops!!!

New York mask ban update: Our advocacy efforts are working!

Gov Hochul is failing at convincing lawmakers to include a proposal that criminalizes masking in the budget, and some legislative officials predict it will be dropped from budget talks as negotiations drag on.

Keep calling your electeds!

Oh my, my sample #SOTD made me queasy unfortunately. I wanted to love this. I SHOULD love this, but I don't. It is beautiful. Very solar, warm, & summery. Like eating an ice cream cone on a beach. Reminds me of something I had from BBW in the early aughts, name escapes me. #PerfumeSky #FragranceSky
A bottle of Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Forte Bosca Vanilla. The main accords are vanilla, woody, powdery, sweet, citrus, musky, aldehydic, marine, herbal, aromatic. Top notes are bergamot and eucalyptus. Middle notes are solar notes and immortelle. Base notes are vanilla absolute, driftwood, and musk.

Panda Express becomes the latest business to ban masks for employees, insisting that being able to see facial expressions is necessary for team building.

This is ableist & discriminatory. Employees have to apply to be allowed to mask, putting an undue burden on disabled staff.
Screenshot of a Reddit post from r/pandaexpress It reads Anyone else's store put up this notice? And then has a photo of a typed piece of paper which reads: At Panda, we are dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming, and engaging environment for both our guests and associates. Open and friendly interactions are a key part of our hospitality philosophy, and clear communication-including the ability to see facial expressions-enhances teamwork and guest service. To ensure consistency across all locations while balancing individual needs, we are introducing the following guidelines regarding mask usage for all associates. Policy: Beginning April 20, 2025 associates should not wear a mask covering any part of their face while working, unless required for specific job duties or safety protocols. • Guests are welcome to wear masks at their discretion. • Associates desiring an exemption to this policy for medical, religious, or other protected reasons should speak with their manager or HR. • This policy applies to all associates, both front-of-house and back-of-house, except in locations where local or state regulations require otherwise. • Associates in California should note that this policy is not applicable in California due to pending state legislation. Panda remains committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace and will work with individuals to address specific needs while maintaining a high standard of teamwork and guest service. This approach ensures consistency across our locations while allowing for appropriate accommodations when needed. Any accommodation requests must be submitted in the LOA/Accommodation Portal for review and approval.

Those of us who refused to adopt the back to normal Covid denial narrative are used to witnessing mental gymnastics by folks who need to believe the pandemic is over

The US Covid website is peak denial

It’s a bioweapon but it’s also mild? It was manufactured in a lab but we can get it over & over?
Screenshot of the white house Covid website that says “lab leak” at the top with an image of Trump between the B and the L. THE ORIGIN "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2" publication - which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory — was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally.

My #SOTD fits so well on this chilly, gloomy spring day. There is a version of me who would've hated this at one point, but I'm finding it so enjoyable today. All notes listed I've detected at one point. If you enjoy a powdery scent, this slept on PdM is worth a try. Sophistication in a bottle.
A bottle of Athalia from Parfums de Marly. The main accords are powdery, iris, musky, white floral, amber, violet, earthy, animalic, citrus, and sweet. The top notes are orange blossom, middle note is iris, and base notes are white musk and amber.

They didn’t say I’d be managing airborne transmission, collapsed institutions, and mass delusion before my morning coffee.

Trying out this newer release from Guerlain for my #SOTD. It's a more mature rose that's fresh & ozonic for summertime. It's giving rose stems and leaves, some mint, and mosses. I like it, but don't love it.
