I am a woman of a certain age still trying to get it right. I believe everyone should be free to be themselves. I create mandalas, like cats & Quiddler, chocolate & red wine. No DM’s please. 😉

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader who has become a symbol of democratic resistance against an increasingly authoritarian regime, even as she has been forced into hiding and barred from holding public office.

Watching the VA gubernatorial debate and my God listening to Lt. Gov Earle-Sears is nauseating. It's like someone narrating Facebook posts

Under the Trump-Sears economy, Virginia has suffered — we even lost our rank as CNBC’s “Top State for Business.”

I’m prepared to invest in and grow our economy. As Governor, I’ll work to lower costs, create jobs, and reclaim our #1 spot.

Would a real trained police officer zip tie a child out of fear

Would any man zip tie a child for any other reason than to just be cruel

Would any free people allow big bro to door to door invade looking at PAPERS

Should ANY government or it's people tollerate these men or these behaviors
