It's been a while since I've done an intro here. Hi! I'm Carrie. I'm a forty-something gal from the PNW. I love to learn, and have a passion for history and science. I love the outdoors.

Selfie of Carrie, wearing little makeup, hair pulled back. She has blonde hair and grey eyes and is wearing a wedding ring.

Photo of Carrie sitting on a big log at the beach. Her feet are bare, and she's wearing a caftan, shaded by a maroon color umbrella. The sun is shining and there is beach grass on the dunes behind her.

Photo of a shallow pool in Puerto Vallarta. Carries legs are extended and crossed, the sun is setting behind the palm trees. A relaxing image.

Air traffic controllers work around the clock to keep our skies safe to fly, & now they’re forced to work without pay due to the government shutdown.

Today on #DayOfTheController, we recognize & honor these public servants for their hard work & commitment to aviation safety.

As an aviator, it is shocking to find this on the NOAA website today when looking for aviation weather reports. How far the mighty fall 😪

Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care.

There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate.

Who have needs that must be met.

Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!

This new drug option is basically a super slow release Focalin. Neat idea, and I'm so glad folks are still innovating in the ADHD world.

Timing of meds has always been a struggle for me. Too early or too late can absolutely wreck my plans for the day.

Zero arrests by NYPD is actually astounding to me

Screenshot of tweet from NYPD reading as follows:

The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted.

We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests.

This is why I block and mute instead of engaging. They love being flogged publicly. It's basically a humiliation kink for the right at this point, and I don't consent to being used that way.

And yet they always end up flocking to the lib one because a site overrun by chuds sucks and is boring.

There were hundreds of people at the rally in Battle Ground!! And the truck ppl were so threatened. It was beautiful!

Sharing someone else's picture because I was too busy driving, honking, and telling everyone I loved them.

I was pleasantly surprised at how many people came to the Battle Ground No Kings Rally. These pictures only show a fraction of them.
We had lots and lots of support from people driving by. It was a hope filled rally!

You can tell it's effective when chuds in trucks decide they're so threatened by people on the sidewalk that they need to "roll coal" at the people exercising freedom of speech.

They hate us and they are so afraid of hate not winning.

Mike Rothschild @rothschildmd.bsky.social · 9d

You can tell No Kings is effective because MAGA world has spent days mocking and fearmongering about it. If it wasn't effective, they wouldn't need to mention it at all.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop
