Still a mess on Twitter, too Gen X to care.
Hosted Thanksgiving and adore my MAGA-annoyed family!

We ate, watched ‘South Park,’ and played song requests.

My 84-year old mom was amused and requested Kris Kristofferson. Also, 5 pots of coffee for this sober Thanksgiving, a family record!

My good camera and I finally got around to meet North Kingstown troll, Iver Mudslinger.

Iver is an exquisite sculpture created by artist Thomas Dambo and located in lucious Ryan Park.

“What would Diane Keaton do?”

Attend the suburban post-Halloween costume party and recite “La-dee-da” forever.

Can you believe that North Kingstown residents just donated 7,491 pounds of food to the North Kingstown Food Pantry through Scouting for Food?!

👀 Spotted in North Kingstown: Scouts dispersing door hangers to remind folks to leave non-perishable food out next Saturday, November 1!
🥘 If you received a door hanger, consider donating food.
🙏 All food will be delivered to the North Kingstown Food Pantry.

Another successful North Kingstown Democrats fundraiser tonight at O Sushi.

Lots of folks asking what they can do to help, and joining one’s local democratic town committee is a good first step.

Looks like I am amongst good Libras in today’s Rhode Map birthday shoutout!
50?!
I still feel like a valley girl/riot grrl.

Last night was a hoot with @ridemparty.bsky.social well represented at Providence Foundation’s Legacy in Motion at the ethereal Reserve on Dorrance.

Caught @amo.house.gov for a pic, @sabinamatos.bsky.social smiling, and @tednesi.bsky.social giving (and taking) it!

Also, thanks for having music!

While America fat shames its military, I would like a president who is not obese.

I do not celebrate anyone dying AND I don’t memorialize Christian performers with penchants for chauvinism and racism, and who were against safe gun laws.

Now fire me. Again. Already happened once and wasn’t that bad.

This is America.

Tyler and his family look a lot like all of us, don't they?

The next time we have a live and televised traumatizing murder, perhaps the piranhas can hold off on misidentifying the murderer's intentions or background.

Sadly, we all know there WILL be a next time.

Not Black. Not Trans. Not Muslim.
Not an Immigrant. Not a Democrat.

Meet Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson: a white Christian, Conservative Republican male with a big gun and not much to lose.

How do you like them apples?

Last night, while mourning another school shooting and the horrific political assassination of Charlie Kirk, I went to a @momsdemand.bsky.social meeting.
We were stoic and somber.
It’s the guns.

Who wore it better?
Mother/daughter edition.
Happy Sunday!

We delivered my son to Bridgewater State University yesterday and I do not know what to do with myself.

Must be back-to-school time in America. Gunfire, children dead, anxiety, polished floors, fresh pencils, and fear.

It’s the guns. @momsdemand.bsky.social

My son Holden turns 16 today!

A Scout, wrestler, animal lover, and caring brother, Holden enjoyed being 15 and can’t wait to drive.

He and I love talking politics, pop culture, and family lore.

Here's to my son Beckett on his Eagle Scout Ceremony.

My mom didn't get the
Confirmation she wanted, but God was mentioned a lot.

Seabee Museum in North Kingstown, RI.
August 14, 2025 at 1:50 AM
My son made Eagle Scout and we will celebrate at the Seabee Museum tomorrow.
How does it all go so fast?
August 12, 2025 at 10:39 PM
My own pink pony club at Newport Polo.

I hear that the newly crowned housewives of Rhode Island are here and I am busy angling for a spot!
August 9, 2025 at 10:31 PM
My sons Beckett and Holden are living it up at Camp Yawgoog.

They’re planning Beckett’s Eagle Scout ceremony for next week at the Seabee Museum and Chapel in the Pines in North Kingstown.

I am proud of their scouting lives and yes, we are all totally progressive!

What a summer.

A Rhode Island weekend: Friday night dancing at The Narragansett Cafe with gals, Newport Polo and dinner at Valley View on Saturday with my hubs and pal.

I learned long ago to rarely make weekend plans outside of Rhode Island!

These are my grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lynch of Uxbridge, MA and Narragansett, RI.

Both staunch democrats, they sit with JFK at a legislative dinner in MA.

I checked with their American immigrant experience and they are horrified by the Narragansett GOP.
