I’m a fan of books, art, and music. Pretty passionate about free speech, science, and the Oxford comma. I was DOGE’d out of my job in public health —all opinions are my own.

Perfect birthday 🌞💗
* Dinner at home with my two older kids
* Facetimed the youngest (away at school)
* Promptly devoured Apple Birthday Pie (homemade by kids)
It’s been a year for all of us - but I hope I will never be too jaded to appreciate the beauty and love I have

The text you never want to get. From my daughter, while hiding in the school library during a sniper attack on her school, three years ago. She wasn’t physically hurt, but others were. She still lives with it. We all live with it
