The elimination of child labor laws is disgusting. 14 year olds able to work an over night shift on a school night? They won’t go to school. They won’t be educated. They will become sheep. That’s the plan.

This Day in Labor History: March 25, 1911. 146 workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City died when the building in which they worked caught on fire. Let's talk about the horrors of the Triangle Fire, what changed, and what remains the same 114 years later (mostly it's all the same)

This week has been a lot. I haven’t felt this much anxiety since 2020. Hubs and I went to a local tea shop today where I read and sipped tea. Totally calmed me down. In these times, you must take time to heal yourself. The #resistance needs us all.

I can remember going to local Pequot and Wampanoag powwows when I was a kid. I asked my mom who the man was that all the shirts and flags saying “Free Leonard” was. That was over 40 years ago. Wow.

My husband is currently outside shoveling while in flip flops, cargo shorts, and a short sleeve shirt. If that doesn’t say New England dad, I don’t know what does.

“Our concerns about what is best for our students have been ignored. The lack of collaboration and communication shows us that district leadership is either uninterested or unaware of the realities in our schools.”

Friend of ours works at CDC. Daily emails from Musk and the tech bros telling them to take the leave. Take a vacation. Live your life. No one is listening because they know it’s all a sham and they won’t get paid. #resist

In between finding out about all the fuckery of the current administration, I’m freebasing faerie smut books. Cheating husband so new romance? I’ll pass. Missing child mystery? No thanks. Govt needs saving by 007? Nope. Faerie warrior on a dragon slaying evil beasts? Now that’s my escape. #booksky

Trump wants to annex Canada, which means that somewhere in Canada right now, a nun with an amazing singing voice has taken the job as a nanny for a widowed naval Captain and his 7 children.

Just finished The Once and Future Witches. Great fantasy novel that blends unionism, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights and human rights. They may have burned us then, but we thrive now. #booksky

Update on getting care for my mom with Alzheimer’s. Can’t find anyone to come to rural RI. You read that right. Rhode Island. The smallest state. If she lived 5 miles east, it wouldn’t be a problem. What in the ever loving hell do people in REAL rural America do? Our healthcare system is broken.

My mom has mild to moderate Alzheimer’s. Getting her to shower is becoming increasingly difficult. She has regressed to a 5 year old when it comes to this task. The disease is horrible. And our health care system doesn’t help.

The DOGE/MAGA saga is about racism. But it’s classism, too. College vs. non-college educated, lower class vs. upper class and variants in between. How people see themselves as “belonging” and the enemy as Other. It’s pitting people against each other. And it’s the playbook of the enemy within.

Hubs and I went to the holiday lights spectacular at #RWPZoo tonight. As we found laughter while walking in the cold, we talked about how the next 4 years will be hard. And that finding joy in silly things is so very necessary. Keep your sanity. Keep your light. Spread joy.

Spent the evening with my cousins having dinner and conversation. Unspoken rule that we had to steer clear of politics because of my cousin’s husband. How inauthentic we are when we have to ignore the largest elephant in the room. People’s rights and dignity are under siege. The price of eggs, tho!
