“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

We should feed people, help them see a doctor when they’re ill, and support our veterans wholeheartedly as a thank you for their service. Nobody is living large on government assistance - that’s a lie Republicans tell to justify cutting help to prop up the rich. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

You should get some new fancy journals to go with those new pens. I think it’s a rule or something.

I was a Congressional aide many years ago and I still look back on my ability to fix problems for citizens as some of the best work I have ever done. Nothing else has ever come close.

Grants fund salaries which pay bills. Federal block grants pay for infrastructure improvements like repaired bridges and paved roads. Absolute disaster. Call your elected officials and demand they take action.

Hanging out with a neighbor this morning. He’s a fan of our under-counter heating.

I hate it. I’m often doing it later in the evening and I’m no longer in my 20s, that kind of thing could kill me. It’s like they gave the owl a god complex.

That is terrifying because people can barely afford basics, never mind a five-figure repair to keep their insurance. What region of the country are you in? I haven’t heard of anyone experiencing this in the northeast where I am but you know they’re coming for us.

The best thing you can do is starve Meta for revenue. Never click on or buy anything through their ads. Never pay for an ad to sell a product or advertise an event. Never do anything again that will put one cent in Mark Zuckerberg's pocket!

I land on the side of feeding children and keeping them healthy with government funds. Much better use of my money than tax subsidies for billionaires’ space programs. This is a travesty.

I like a good basket weave stitch; they tend to hold their shape and non-knitters think it’s some complicated witchcraft you’ve created. I have a scarf I did in basket weave about 5 years back and it still looks great and doesn’t need blocking. Love your color combo on this.

Every January I attempt a new, really complicated bread recipe in what’s become known as Batshit Bread Baking. Complicated instructions? Sounds good. Fussy dough that needs a specific temperature water within 10 degrees? Yes please. Currently searching for next month’s saga. Suggestions welcome.
A loaf of cinnamon raisin swirl bread with two slices cut sits on a wooden cutting board on a kitchen counter.

Irrationally annoyed that an ok book I was reading took a hard turn the last 10% into the absurd but I was too far in not to see it through and that end of the year reading goal is fast approaching, so…. #booksky

When you’re down and think the world will never get better. Remember, the doctor who discovered the need to wash hands for cleanliness, died in Siberia for his views. Okay… probably not helpful. I’ll work on it.

Paper or ebook. I retain more when my eyes read it rather than my ears hearing it, if that makes sense?
