Former academic, semi-retired. Back on this site after a long hiatus to follow some of the very best news sources. And maybe to contribute some joy with animals and nature. And Phillies!
Hadn’t heard about this until your post, but since it seems to have started w claims by a racist (who was terminated), I hope they do a thorough & fair investigation. www.bbc.com/news/article...
This is what climate change will do. Forecast is for at least this through Saturday. Happy bday America!
Zelda, who has a fierce desire to protect me and absolutely no sense of privacy … #catsofbluesky
June is my garden’s most fruitful month — nature’s blooms arriving just in time to save me from the human-made despair all around us. #hydrangea #callalily
VIRGINIANS!! Get out to vote YES to preserve fair elections in today’s special election!! I volunteered this morning and there was a steady stream of voters on Election Day! Love to see it!!! #GOTV #fairelections #democracy
Update on my garden, which is giving me great joy as I watch nature do its thing despite human stupidity all around. No filters or edits, just beauty. Happy New Moon in Aries to those who celebrate. #greenwitch 🌑♈️🧙♀️💐
Be sure to have a conversation with @unlawfulentries.bsky.social about her new book!!
Remarked about the price of gas to the woman behind me at the grocery checkout. I’m quite sure I’ve never initiated such a conversation. Never. I’ve become my MIL. Thanks a lot, Trump. 🖕
Hard at work this morning! Can’t let those squirrelas go unwatched … #caturday #catsofbluesky
I’m not marching in #NoKings this time, but I’ll be writing #GOTV postcards for #VASpecialElection on April 21. #VoteYes on *temporary* Gen Assembly redistricting (until 2030 census). #LevelThePlayingField
More springing!! A Japanese Cherry Blossom and a pink cherry tree. A bit of joy in otherwise troubling times. #garden #spring #flowers #cherryblossoms
Aw, she’s so sweet … just moments after she spent more than an hour early this morning running around, jumping on the bed, playing with the blinds, and using my good chair — that she’s now snoozing on — as a scratching board. Little shit. Good thing she’s cute. 🙄🥰 #catsofbluesky
Another day starts very poorly for the US and everything it touches … so here’s Z and her Lego buddy guarding us against pesky squirrels and chirpy birds. #catsofbluesky #caturday
Arlington, VA Big flakes, but not too much accumulation … yet! @capitalweather.bsky.social
@atrupar.com being brilliant and articulate as always on @principlesfirst.bsky.social panel on media and democracy today.
Chris Christie calling out Lindsey Graham (and Marco Rubio) for their love of title over love of job and service. Hypocrites to the core. @principlesfirst.bsky.social #principlesfirst
Panel on economy and economics w @justinwolfers.bsky.social Jessica Riedl and Francis Fukuyama starts strong: economy sucks, oh so much corruption, but a moment of celebration for SCOTUS decision on tariffs. @principlesfirst.bsky.social #principlesfirst
Panel led by Chuck Todd (didn’t even know he was still around!). @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social so impressive (which is always so odd for me to say out loud!).
