Yesterday I was trained to be a literacy volunteer in public elementary schools. This is what we’re up against and it is awful but I’m so excited to help just a little bit by sharing my love of books.

Love Wired — they’re doing some of the best coverage of the administration and tech out there. But really don’t love this cover treatment.

Can you make a video your account page cover photo? Because if so this is mine forever. Damn this show is so good.

Clergy & Catholic sisters were out in full force this morning to witness Haitian TPS holders arriving at a Cincinnati-area ICE facility where they will be outfitted with ankle bracelets. Communion was offered at the entrance as people prayed for their humanity to be recognized by the Trump admin.

Marked 250 by taking in what I love most about my country: its protected public lands. Slept in a WPA-era fire tower above the clouds. Love you forever, West Virginia

Luckily the VP and I live (when he’s not in DC) in the city with the second-largest library system in the country so I was able to get his latest, tout suite.

Parents picked nieces up at summer camp. The elder drew a photo of their house as a gift. The younger brought them two pieces of blank paper so they could draw their own. 😂

Cannot describe the brief but intense joy it brought me to be behind this golden retriever in the Skyline drive thru. Was grinning ear to ear by the time I got up to the window.

Every room in my home has ramps and steps to make window perches accessible because few things bring me greater joy and satisfaction than supporting my 16yo elderly baby girl in her golden years. ❤️❤️❤️

Honestly starting to feel bad for the little guy. But not bad enough to unsecure my birdseed after he ate most of a bag in days.

Rural WV-OH border. Until recently I regularly filled my car all the way up for under $50. No idea how long the average American family is going to weather this given there’s no end in sight.

I’ve been looking at multi unit residential properties in Cincinnati and this is a wild photo to include in your MLS listing as the owner, ie not the long-term tenant in the unit pictured.

A cat that is too smart for her own good. Just tried to drug her with gabupentin ahead of a drive bc she gets *extremely* distressed. Wouldn’t touch it. I mixed in more food. She locked eyes w me, dipped a paw in, licked a teeny bit, then shook her paw to spray it across the floor and walked off.

Those questioning the purpose of #NoKings only need to go to a small town in flyover country to understand why it’s important for those participating in places where until recently, many felt nervous to publicly declare opposition to Trump admin. Organizing in these places so diff than SF, NYC, LA

No Kings protest in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Morgantown #NoKings starting to disperse. You may be able to hear in the background (over “Fight the Power”) that the vast majority of vehicles are honking in support. There have been very few hecklers.
