Hard agree; creating kindness with intentionality and making people feel seen in a genuine way has transformed my public interactions. It feels wonderful when I can help someone else have a genuine smile. The change it has in how people treat me in return is hard to explain. #MakeKindnessNormal

Would someone please tell me why being on a treadmill has been one of the LEAST appealing ideas my entire adult life until now. When 20 minutes of treadmill time will tank my blood sugar. NOW I just want to hang out on the damn thing.

The SAVE Act is not about protecting elections—it's about stopping voters, in particular women, from making their voices heard. This bill would prevent millions who changed their last names from registering to vote. I'm fighting against this blatant attack on the right to vote.

Cory Booker is unstoppable right now. If you aren’t watching, you are missing history in the making. Tune in, and make sure to send support and gratitude his way, along with any other politician that is doing everything in their power to defend democracy.

The Senate yesterday vs the Senate today. We support Senator Booker's speech.

Photo of the window display at our bookstore. Full of books and topics, much like the floor of the Senate yesterday.

The same bookshelf as the previous image. The bookshelf shows scattered book displays that are empty, with the exception of one book. The title is "On Tyranny".

The very specific, very uncomfortable moment of grief when you realize that it is time to cancel your membership to the professional death doula orgs for a while. It was a dream that I almost had in my hands. But then we moved, and now I have an expensive chronic condition to deal with.

I can't tell you how much it amused me that someone actually published a paper on their study of whether a CGM reads different between left and right arms. tl;dr: right arms read significantly higher than left arms. I'm not completely crazy. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I am beginning to wonder if my left arm is a cursed placement for my sensor. My #libre3 is all over the place tonight (jumping from 79 to 138 in seconds, then back to 99), and the last one I had in my left arm kept reading more than 20 mg/dL lower than finger stick. #t2d

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
