Wondering how my parents raised a compassionate and empathetic daughter only to have them become followers of the hateful GOP. Grew up watching PBS. Love traveling the world, exploring nature, and all things beyond our planet.

As we near the end of 2025, and look forward to the year ahead, here is something to keep in mind: "Trump isn’t even close to as powerful as he wants you to think he is, and you are far, far more powerful than you think you are."

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line. I’m terribly disappointed in him.

Even if you don't live in New York, give him a call to let your voice be heard. He's supposed to be representing the Democrats in the Senate. It is unacceptable to give in at this point without some agreement to extend the ACA.

I'm seeing so many excellent memes and screencaps today missing their alt text! Please include *everyone* in your joy! Go to Settings > Accessibility, and turning on "Require alt text before posting." This way a reminder will pop up if you try to post an inaccessible image
A screenshot of the accessibility options in the Bluesky iOS client in dark mode. There's an option titled "alt text" with a slider for the option to "require alt text before posting". This should be turned ON.

A friend texted me last night and said she was so bummed that she missed No Kings Day, as she had important family plans that were scheduled long before the protests were announced.

Listen: we have to take Trump seriously because, unfortunately, he is the actual President. Trump is a joke, and not always a funny one. But we need to call attention to his rambling and incoherent rants. This was ONE press conference.

Stubborn Ounces 
by Bonaro W. Overstreet
(To One Who Doubts the Worth of Doing Anything if You Can't Do Everything) 
You say the Little efforts that I make will do no good: they never will prevail to tip the hovering scale where Justice hangs in balance. I don't think I ever thought they would. But I am prejudiced beyond debate in favor of my right to choose which side shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
