SPED teacher, Functional Maths. One ‘home’ scattered across Sonoma County wine country, Southern Oregon Cascades, and South Kona coast. Never met a sand dollar shell, wild huckleberry, or antler shed I didn’t like. Anti fascist, anti MAGA.
I am gearing up for my much anticipated 230–hour-Thanksgiving-long-weekend! So much to pack in to those 230 hours. Wish me luck!

Wow!
SNOW IN HAWAII?!
That’s right — Mauna Kea, Hawaii just beat Denver, Colorado in the race for first measurable snow of the season!
Several inches fell at the UKIRT Observatory on Monday Morning — a surreal sight high above the tropics!

Having my hubs home to share meals with always inspires nicer table settings…

My spin on ‘Swedish Death Cleaning’ is creating Pinterest board inventories of the items in my homes w/comments on their provenance & value. All I have to give my daughters is my log-in credentials and they can sort out for themselves what they want to keep, sell, or donate when I’m gone.

Share and share again!
This has got a good beat to it.

I would crowd source a mega millions powerball sized donation to the reporter Trump called ‘piggy’ to hurtle her back in time to that very moment so she could say back to him ‘I know you are; but what am I?’

The weekend was very social (for me: two consecutive bar nights with friends) so tonight I’m having tea for dinner and unwinding with a Space Makers YouTube.

How do you organize your cleaning materials? I like baskets. I keep a bathroom basket, a kitchen basket, a floor basket, and a wood/walls/windows basket. I just carry the one I’m using along with me as I work.

I know I missed Caturday but this sweet senior has been really warming up to the new condo recently. Hanging out during the school day with the insane lil Aussie Posse actually does her a world of good even though she would be loathe to admit it.

Finally some good news on the Roomball.

I think Donald Trump is just hunkered down in the Oval Office shitting out a thin stream of crap nonstop. He’s lost control of the narrative, he’s lost control of his MAGA followers, and he’s lost control of his bowels.

Because, sure, I solicit all my spiritual advice from a guy with two teeth in his head, the vocabulary & reasoning power of a ‘slow’ seven year old, and a brown bag of $50k in all small bills…

My talented & photogenic Daughter the Elder touring Chilean vineyards with her partner. I hear she got asked along the way if she’s a Profesora de Vino. (Well she did grow up in wine country!)

See? Elon Musk literally chainsawed THIN AIR… When Michelle Wu shows up in public with a chainsaw in her hands a Christmas tree results. I can’t see a better argument for more women in leadership roles everywhere stat!
"Gripping a chainsaw as it roared to life, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu" was also my original lead for Election Night coverage in Boston

This is a no brainer. We can absolutely do this.
We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

They’re such fucking IDIOTS. Every time they fap their mouths.
“We’re not going to be spending money on murals and train stations or bike paths or walking paths. We’re going to spend money on traditional infrastructure — that’s roads and bridges.”

“Traditional”?

The first car was built on 1885. At that point the US already had ~175,000 miles of railroad.

The outlook for active transportation won't be good if advocates don't stand up.

Pizzagate made no sense until the Epstein files broke…
When we say "every accusation is a confession"...
It's really clear now how much Pizza Gate was a confession re: Epstein Files.

Got up early to re-set my kitchen. Fit in some plant care, under cabinet reorganization, and breakfast. Cleared countertop space for a new toaster oven. (My 20yo toaster just bagged out…) As per usual my household ‘staff’ was eager to help out.

Yes.
Again, the thing that truly drove them insane with rage was the sight of Harvey Weinstein being dragged to prison in disgrace, unprotected by his wealth. A lot of rich, powerful guys clearly understood it as an act of extreme aggression and a direct threat.
