We both have been working non-stop lately, so it’s especially nice to take some much-needed time away. Off to celebrate Patrick’s mom’s 70th birthday in Jamaica! 🎉❤️🥰

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive
And do it often.

I can’t tell you how proud I feel. Our team, Whoosh, WON the Gay Softball World Series in Houston, beating out 57 other top teams from all over US and Canada!
We worked so hard. I tore my ligament playing a couple of years ago & it took a lot to work my way back here. Love this group so very much.

Yeah, I had to try three sites to cancel Disney+ but the runaround only made me more determined to do it.
Incidentally, I’ve heard buzz on here about the company making cancellations more difficult and that was my experience. I could not cancel directly through account management. It would just cycle back. I had to go through the help menu. Stay vigilant! If you’re still in line, stay in line. Etc.

I’ve been sick for a few days, but I followed through with playing in a little tennis tournament in our community this morning. I pushed through not feeling well and won! 🥇🎾❤️
Felt so good! And now back in bed. 🛌

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
