thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

You would never believe that this adorable, sweet, mild mannered kitty just a few minutes before had just drawn blood attacking my ankles!

@markey.senate.gov and @warren.senate.gov - time to shut the gov’t down until ICE is abolished and the Epstein files are released in full. And PLEASE find a new minority leader. Schumer is not up to the challenge anymore!

@maddow.bsky.social I am reading B.Gage’s biography of J. Edgar Hoover. Just came across Burton K. Wheeler. Having listened to Ultra, I knew exactly who he was!

I am spending today lining the purses I knit for family members this year. Kitty is very suspicious of the fabric and she is doing her best to protect me from it!

Tell folks to come donate food items. Let them know you'll be there to answer questions about the shutdown. Invite reporters and content creators for interviews. Make it a thing.

@audrelawdamercy.bsky.social - your book left me feeling encouraged in much the same way as Heather McGhee’s The Sun of Us did. I appreciate ideas for empowering democracy - they are concrete and helpful to help others begin to think of who we could be rather than who we are.

@audrelawdamercy.bsky.social - just finished your book. I love “inclusive constitutionalism” as a theory of law. My son is considering law school- would you be able to suggest places that teach this? Thank you so much!

Do any knitters and spinners know how to make cat hair into yarn? Just finished vacuuming. I have 1 cat and the volume of hair I just picked up indicates there are at least 6 more.

Just finished @leahlitman.bsky.social “Lawless.” Well-written and argued. I knew how bad it is, but the intentional cruelty of SCOTUS jumps off the page. I have been sick to my stomach and had trouble sleeping. If you weren’t convinced that our democracy is at risk, pls read this book.

Clergy and lay leader folks- I am wondering how we might organize an on-line prayer vigil for President Biden. I am not a tech person. Are there folks interested who might be able to help?

Decorating this shelf on my porch each season brings me joy. I knit the eggs and flowers & painted the wooden tulips. It makes me happy as I go in and out and harms no one.

This am my son got his car stuck half in and half out in the street in the ice. We worked for 25 min & got nowhere. Local handyman stopped & cheerfully spent 40 min in 16 degree weather getting him unstuck. There are good folks doing acts of kindness still among us. Will call him for next project!
