At my son's May Day performance and some parents won't shut up during the performance, even talking on the phone. Just stay home next time!

Got mango sap all over my fingers this morning picking fruit and I could NOT get it off. A Google search said to "wash" my hands with peanut butter, then soap and water, and it actually worked! 😂

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

What social media posting app do you recommend? I'm thinking about getting back into regular posting, and I need a scheduling app across multiple platforms and accounts that has both a free option and basic option for me to consider.

After Japan, I couldn't get my body up early anymore, so I had to switch to working out in the early evenings. Going to Alaska seems to have reset my clock, and I was up at 4:15 today. And as a bonus, I smashed my previous running distance of 2.1 miles and hit 3 miles for the first time ever! 🥳🏃♀️

I finished knitting a sweater last night. My first ever one in fingering+mohair! It was surprisingly easier to knit than a worsted sweater I'm also working on.
