Heartened by the voters in Wisconsin yesterday, who said "nope, we're not being bought, Elon." And bless @booker.senate.gov for his heroic action on the Senate floor and snuffing ol' Strom Thurmond's record in the process. Thank you, Senator Booker, for the waterfall of courage and hope.

Glad to see the FAA has closed helicopter routes near DCA indefinitely. Now they need to lower the volume on flights into that airport.

The three biggest exports from Colombia to the U.S. are crude oil, coffee and cut flowers. Tea and a walk, anyone? In springtime we'll even have garden daffodils and tulips to enjoy.

Today I keep thinking about the example set and courage shown yesterday by the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, Mariann Edgar Budde, in her homily during the National Prayer Service at Washington Cathedral. May she inspire all of us in resisting injustice and showing compassion for the vulnerable.

I keep thinking about Aretha Franklin's hat on Inauguration Day 2009, as opposed to, you know, that one yesterday.

Not turning the tv on today. It's hard enough knowing that after a four year break it's back to waking up every morning wondering "what fresh hell today?" Link arms with campadres, keep chin up, help where you can.

Inauguration on Monday moved indoors to Capitol Rotunda. Expected weather: sunshine, 25 degrees, wind 15 mph. Hmm. Somebody doesn't like cold and really, really doesn't like wind.

Good for Michelle Obama for saying "nope" to attending the swearing-in. She's walking the walk. Nancy Pelosi, too.

Just learned of the second family I know that lost their home in the L.A. fires. So heartbreaking. Help where you can, donate what you can. Red Cross L.A., World Central Kitchen, so many other places to send support. Really. Help where you can.

Finishing the old year reading Samantha Harvey's exquisite Orbital, 2024 Booker Prize winner. I cannot put down this extensed prose poem, it shows me Earth and our flash-long lives in a new dimension.

President Jimmy Carter leaves a legacy unlike any other. Ceaseless in his service, unbending in his dignity, and revered for his commitment to our common humanity. He fought the good fight and kept the faith — and now he has finished his race. May his memory be an inspiration.

Bluesky started out being fun but now I am inundated with bot accounts of all kinds, "users" with a few or zero posts, few followers and hundreds of follows. I don't know how to make it stop besides blocking. It's really tiresome and annoying. Does anybody know how to make this stop?

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

Have concluded I prefer "eves" to the actual day. Christmas eve, New Year's eve, birthday eve, etc. Eves are more likely to be fun and less likely to cause lethargy, stress, gluttony and arguments (in whatever order). So, happy Thanksgiving eve, everybody! Cook with abandon!

I'm in the final round of revisions on the 4th draft of my soft sci fi novel, due to editor end of Dec. Always told my students "read your paper out loud to yourself, you'll find the things you need to correct." Taking my own advice. Yep. Finding things to correct. #writing #authors #booksky

Saw Wicked pt 1 yesterday. It's a tad overlong but what a sumptuous romp with great singing/dancing/staging. Erivo and Grande shine throughout and Jonathan Bailey steals every scene he's in. See it on a big screen! Thumbs up!

Woke up to find I cracked 50 follows! Woo hoo! (Gotta start somewhere, right?) The positive vibe here is holding steady: what a relief. Hope others are finding this as well. Whatever our interests, keeping our heads and hearts and spirits fresh & determined is part of the assignment. Courage!

Hi Blueskyers. I'm giving this platform a try. My work background is in the arts/dance admin and higher ed, my current practice is in writing (presently sci fi, hope to publish my debut novel in 2025). I turn lights on if I can just find the switch.
