My husband is a grad of Princeton, as is Ms Scott, so I got to see the Princeton Alumni Weekly this week which featured her on the cover for her philanthropic efforts. Well done, ma'am!

This looks like it was the inspiration for the fabric I am using in my current quilt project. Regatta - Sail Away Navy by Deirdre Coughlin from Marcus Fabrics

I just bought a bottle of Tylenol. I didn't really need it, but it was my little way of showing my support as they deal with the ramblings of idiots.

I'd like that dress material for a quilt!

Let's see. Franklin Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt. Winston Churchill. Dwight Eisenhower. Charles De Gaulle. Anne Frank. George Patton. Queen Elizabeth II. And millions more.

And the same goes for governments: they are not businesses, either.

I don't think you can regulate free speech. You can regulate speech, but as soon as you regulate it, it is no longer free.

Since I am in the midst of watching ALL of Doctor Who (starting with #1 and now on #10) I can't believe I missed the reference! Makes me wish they would do a Short Trek with Pellia and one of the Doctors! 🖖(why is there no Tardis emoji?)

America is always at its best when we stand together. We the People are the first 3 words of our Constitution because WE are what makes this country the United States of America. All of us. Together.

The problem with The Onion these days is that I can no longer tell if they are doing satire or reporting current events.

As I read elsewhere, I would like to live in precedented times again.

Don't sell yourself short! You ARE doing something. I keep this quote from Alexei Navalny on my desktop:

"There is no shame in doing little. There is shame in doing nothing. In allowing them to scare you."

This is what we need to do rather than just complain here on BlueSky, though that has its place, too (letting off steam helps keep the body healthy 😇).

Perkins didn't just complain, she figured out what she could do and DID IT! Be like Frances!
