Stay Gold

It was a long drive for the college tour- four hours on the way there, and 3.5 on the way back. I thought I was going to be super tired for the drive home, but I wasn’t. I was thinking how lucky I was that I got to spend the day with my kid- even if 7.5 hours of it was driving, and he…

Adventures in Perimenopause: Where Did That Bruise Come From?

Adventures in Perimenopause: Where Did That Bruise Come From?
Earlier today I was stretching after my walk. Stretching has become an essential and frequent activity now, at multiple times during the day. Including, but not limited to, before even getting out of bed. I’ve found it necessary to “cat/cow” myself awake every morning. Why do I feel so stiff after sleeping on a memory foam mattress? I’m in a figure-four stretch and I notice a bump on my knee.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

How can you tell if the administration is lying? Karoline Leavitt is speaking on its behalf.

AI will never match the intimacy of a book recommendation from someone who cares about you. It can never capture rage or laughter or grief in an audiobook narration. It can’t connect a love story to the bench in Central Park that reminded you of what it means to be alive.

More on @usatoday.com:
AI is a danger to the book world. Chicago Sun-Times AI summer reading list proved that.
The Chicago Sun-Times and Philadelphia Inquirer ran a fake, AI-generated summer reading list in print. Here's why it harms authors and readers alike.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

Helpful note: if the DC office isn't picking up,
you can also call your reps' local offices. Per another user, "Tap the dots to right of the DC number and local office numbers come up."
Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
