New school year budget, DONE! It's not as good as I initially hoped, but not as bad as it had started looking.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

This week I went grocery shopping, washed the sheets (and more), sent all the emails I was supposed to, worked in the garden... Updated accounts from bank saga... I was able to do that bc my kids got a bug and I have been home for two half days. (They are fine.) Really wish I could work .8 or .9...

Raskin: “You don’t see any MAGA hats anywhere in the country anymore. The support for the Republicans is melting away.” Trump “pulled the plug on Medicaid” and ACA tax credits, leaving rural hospitals and three maternity clinics in one Michigan district shut down.

Google account hacked.... They tried to get into my password manager... So I called my bank and now my account is frozen for safety... Have to go there tmo to get it sorted out. Doesn't look like the bad guys were able to do anything but I wasn't expecting this giant hassle. #thoughtsandprayers

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Where I live, mail has been very slow moving and sometimes never gets to its destination. If this is happening in your area, please contact your congress people. They are the only ones who have the authority to make changes. I'm hoping if enough people contact them, the postal service won't die.

Just finished my first resume-writing job in awhile! (Or at least the first draft lol) Haven't been doing so many of these jobs since the advent of ChatGPT, so it was nice that someone reached out. I like writing resumes, it's always interesting to find out what cool stuff people know how to do.

Just got back from a lovely visit to #Maine. Don't miss the Botanical Gardens in Boothbay -- I thought it would be "just a bunch of plants," turns out it was a really cool bunch of plants and TROLLS! Harbor cruise was also nice, just right for the kids. Old Orchard Beach was crowded but amazing.

Something pretty cool happened the other day: I found my "pay it forward" book in the Little Free Library down the street! Scrolled back through IG, turns out I put it in there in late July 2023, prompted by my friend @sarawhizbanger.bsky.social who was helping me get the word out about the book. 🙂

For a while the doctors' offices around here had TVs in the waiting rooms, often tuned into some medical info. My thought was always, I am here to read!
