I'm just a liberal old broad living in Pennsyltucky so I tend to keep to myself. Pittsburgh's the "Big City" to where I'm from. Expect mostly likes and reposts with an occasional doodle or landscape photo.

Don't forget, Pennsylvania STILL doesn't have a budget. It's coming up on time to tell your representatives what you think of that:
Election Day 2025 might be over, but Election Day 2026 is closer than you think.
It’s never too early to start thinking about the primary election on May 19th!

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

One piece of good news today 🏳️🌈
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to take up the appeal of Kim Davis without comment. Marriage equality is still the law of the land, and Kim Davis lost again.
Supreme Court Shuts Down Kim Davis’ Attempt to Reignite Fight Against Marriage Equality
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to take up the appeal of Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who made headlines in 2015 when she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This decision leaves in place lower court rulings that held her accountable for violating the civil rights of LGBTQ+ couples and marks a quiet but important victory for marriage equality in the face of growing right-wing religious legal challenges.

People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.
Why Nikki Haley’s son went radical: His generation inherited insecurity.
I profile Nalin Haley, a fascinating young man, who I believe will likely play an important role in conservative politics in years to come.
