It’s been a while since I’ve taken an internet quiz; this reading color quiz was a lot of fun. Nice to reflect on what I look for when I choose a book, and it definitely feels accurate. I would love to know my friends’ and family’s reading style if any of you want it try it! www.readyourcolor.com

I’m represented by 1 of 10 House Dems who voted to censure Al Green, and by 1 of 10 Senate Dems who voted for the spending bill. Split hairs about decorum & bipartisan ethos in normal times, not in today’s climate. Or at least answer emails and calls. This is all so fucking tone deaf & demoralizing.

There are protests against 47’s tyranny & Project 2025 in every state today. My husband and I had the honor of attending in Harrisburg and heard from a diverse and inspirational collection of speakers leading the fight. It’s nice to have hope! #Protest #USProtests #50501Protests #BuildTheResistance

Fuck Fetterman. We thought it was Sanders values vs Dr. Oz, and it turns out it was Dr. Oz values vs Dr. Oz himself. We need to be able to impeach and remove elected officials if the values they campaigned with are directly opposed by their actual votes once they’re in office.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t like the choreography for Dancing Through Life in the Wicked movie. It feels overly juvenile to me with the overextending and flailing, even beyond what the theme of the lyrics justifies. It just distracts from the scene that otherwise did great on set design & vocals.

I’m in the process of switching from Audible to Libro.fm, which is basically the exact same thing but allows you to choose a local/small business book store to support instead of Bezos. Purchases are browser-based like old school Audible, but well worth the minor inconvenience. Check it out!

Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.
