50+ followers for Follow Friday?! Fantastic!

The 2022 primaries are leaving me both weary and wary.

It’s not often that a Republican inspires me, but when they do, it’s usually Dwight Eisenhower. (Although Lincoln is definitely up there, too).

No Follow Friday thread this week?! What gives??

It’s official — I now have over 2,000 followers on Twitter! THANK YOU to each and every one of my followers. I still find it amazing that even though…

It’s important to take a step back and see what you’ve accomplished. I couldn’t have imagined…

A quick Follow Friday post! Make sure to check out these accounts that just followed me.

Fist bumps with murderous dictators, inability to pass any climate legislation as the world burns — the weak-ass Democrats keep outdoing themselves.

Instead of it being “Manic Monday”, I’m pretty sure it’s another clinically depressed Monday for me. Which makes me appreciate even more the new 988 mental health crisis service that launched last week and which should help millions of people.

A shoutout to new followers and a pre-announcement about a new feature readers can participate in to call out the cowards in Congress.

As I inch closer to 2k followers (only 30 away as of this writing!), I’m feeling even more grateful than usual to the people on Twitter who are producing great progressive content, posting thoughtful or funny tweets (or both!), and helping me get through these dark times.

Word of caution: These are NOT all mutual followers on Twitter, and they aren’t all necessarily progressive or liberal.

When the world seems like it’s gone crazy, one thing that helps me through the insanity is mindfulness. It’s not just some buzzword, it actually helps.

Since I was out of town, with spotty Internet, I missed Follow Friday, so I did a better-late-than-never Follow Saturday!

The week of July 4, I’m out of town and mostly off the grid. I’m going to try to do a Follow Friday, but if not I’ll definitely be back on Monday. Have a good holiday weekend (to those who can!) and see you on the blog again soon!

It’s time to Keep Calm and #FollowFriday

Who would have thought Disney might have a more inspirational message for girls than the first Speaker of the House?

Not a good Monday, but I did my best, and tomorrow the fight goes on.

After SCOTUS’ overturning Roe v. Wade, more than ever we need to join up with people who agree #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

The past year or so, there have been some very high-profile attempts to unionize workers. And, believe it or not, finally some high-profile victories!

My very thoughtful daughter got me a great Father’s Day gift! Now, I just have to figure out how to actually use it.
