My wife crocheted me a small Taylor Swift doll 😊. And added a ring to the pattern 😍.

She's not a Taylor fan herself but loves me and tolerates my obsession, I mean fandom. 🙂

Crocheted Taylor Swift, holding guitar. Being held in my hand

Close up on her ring finger displaying a tiny jewel.

Bike ride with a friend this afternoon. So pretty.

Photo of a road with a cyclist ahead. To the left of the road is a green meadow. To the left of the meadow are some aspens which are bright gold. The sky above is a deep blue, and mountains are visible both ahead in the distance and directly to the left of the aspens.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

Ouch, that sounds really hard. I'm sorry 😢😢. I partially tore my MCL a year and a half ago and had to use crutches for like 4-5 days and even that was pretty hard.

Good morning Lauren! 🌞
