The Aurora was lovely last night. I fell asleep before it got really spectacular, but still captured this from my front yard. You could see the light with your naked eye, but the color really came through only on camera. In the fall, you could see the color dancing. I hope to see that again.

Leaving in the morning to go to Japan. Had not appreciated exactly how hot it was likely to be until I saw this when looking at the weather forecast yesterday. Send cooling thoughts my way!

I love living on the St. Lawrence river in the thousand islands. Took advantage by pretending to be a tourist tonight, took a lovely cruise through Canadian waters on a Clayton Island Tours boat while my talented friends Mary and Dan Flanigan performed.

Ace Monroe out of Nashville is my new favorite rock band! Amazing look, fabulous music, great sound, amazing energy. And the musicians are super nice. Thrilled to see them live last night! I expect when they are filling stadiums I’ll talk about how I got to see them in a small venue

Proud of the Sackets Harbor community for their efforts and success in rescuing this immigrant family, and so grateful for amazing reporting on it. Did not know there was a reporter present. I am grateful that I was quoted accurately and using words I am proud of. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The loss of scientific expertise and funded research will impact that just all Americans, it will impact the world. I have watched a horror with what they are doing at NIH, NSF, CDC and other institutions that do so much to improve the human condition.

Full day planned for Saturday! Hoping to see a huge turn out nationally for handsoff2025.com - which our local 50501 is branding Remove Reverse Reclaim. Following this, I will go to Sackett Harbor in support of the family removed by ICE - they were doing everything legally - so unnecessarily!

Hey friends! Would be grateful if people could call their representatives and tell them to vote no on this! Scroll up in the thread for a short script you can use even for Republican representatives.
UPDATE: HR28—the federal ban on trans athletes ⬆️—is expected to get a vote in congress tomorrow.
it's the GOP's first step to making it a crime to exist as a trans person in public. that's not an exaggeration—they brag about it on the news.
scroll up for info & resources. please call your reps.

Looks like it’s really time to leave Facebook, I’m going to fully move to BlueSky for posts, and discord for private group chats . Guess it’s time to edit my profile and remove the “lurker“ description.
