Happy belated birthday to the great Billie Holiday! There will never be another like her. When I was a child I stole her tape from my parents’ eclectic music collection. The beautiful picture on the cover drew me in. Then I played it and was completely mesmerized. Played it into the ground.🎙️
New old favorite vinyl. The Softies were it for me in high school 😍. #thesofties #favoriteshadeofblue #vinyl
Things I saw in Portland this weekend: roosters in an alley, a cat with a withering stare, buds of spring, a fuzzy bee that looks like candy corn. #portland
@maddow.bsky.social @ossoff.bsky.social you should look at analyses from @joohnchoe.bsky.social on how they will try to steal elections.
Merry Christmas! And, as ever, the work of Christmas continues.
Just saw this on Pinterest (so no author), but I thought it was applicable. We have to have hope that we can build the world we dream of living in. Can we be that now for our own neighborhoods, cities, states?
This is the BS they’re spreading on other platforms….they are weaponizing the justice department against judges.
Honestly, my favorite is the American flag. That is why we are all here. We want our country back! We want democracy and free speech and everything our flag stands for.
Obama warned us at that correspondent dinner. Too bad it’s not a joke now.
My son, who is obsessed with Star Wars, wanted to see where @markhamillofficial.bsky.social filmed the speeder chase on Endor. Did we get close? Honestly a childhood dream come true for me too 🥰. #starwars
For the 4th Spring Break in a row I visited a National Park. They are truly one of our greatest resources and they are one of the things that makes this country great! Thank you to all National Park employees that have ever cared for these lands and visitors💚. #nationalparks #redwoods #starwars
