Retired school librarian—slightly vintage, rarely quiet, and forever curious. I’ve traded shushing for speaking up, and I’m still chasing answers to the things I don’t yet understand.
My thoughts on 2025.

An appropriate ending for 2025. I am titling this one

A ceasefire is not peace especially when most of Trump’s “deals” expire faster than a Truth Social post. #TrumpLies #PressReleasePeace #We'veSeenThisBefore

I’m a day late with this week’s Sundays With Stefanik — but when thirty seconds of claims take a week to verify, the timing makes sense.

I almost didn’t post today’s column. Timing matters — but so do patterns.

This piece looks at storytelling, power, and what history remembers after the chairs are empty.

Bards, Storytellers and Memory.

There’s a difference between proximity to power and actually belonging.
This piece explores how #EliseStefanik’s politics became louder, meaner, and more disconnected from New York — and why that matters. #SaveUsFromStefanik

Reduced to claiming ignorance, so sad. Watch out #speakerjohnson, looks like #Rep.EliseStefanik may be gunning for your job. At the very least, she is calling your power into question.

This week’s Sundays With Stefanik digs into the money — where it comes from, why it matters, and what it reveals about her real endgame. Spoiler: it isn’t the governor’s mansion.

The anti Christ movement in the extreme conservative Christian population is overwhelming and disturbing on so many levels. Seeing churches acknowledge this is heartening.

#EliseStefanik lives in a bubble she has curated into a tiny ecosystem in which she cannot fail. This feedback loop will be her downfall. She cannot operate in a world without control.

Today’s Sundays With Stefanik looks at what her endorsements and mudslinging say about her. I’d love your feedback — and if the column resonates, please follow and restack.

Until next time, keep the pages turning and the light on.

Stefanik wants the Governor’s Mansion, but won’t answer for the district she already has. That’s not leadership. That’s ladder-climbing.

Each Saturday when I sit down to write about Elise Stefanik I know I am in for a tough day. This one was tough, going over her divisive, hateful rhetoric and slimy way of practicing politics required many breaks.

This week’s Sundays With Stefanik takes a closer look at her governor run — the image, the narrative, and the gaps she hopes voters won’t notice.

From tax breaks for billionaires to detention camps for legal residents, to slashing schools & health care, to creating corruption & a constitutional crisis—Elise Stefanik’s MAGA agenda is tearing NY apart.

NYers see the truth. She won’t get away with it

Once, Elise Stefanik stood for bipartisanship. Today, she plays the Red Queen in Trump’s court.

I am, as many of us are, heartbroken over the acts of that thing in the Whitehouse. It has turned our country into a war zone. I cannot fathom that some Americans are cheering while watching this man attack our people and our country.
