You know what makes “Brandy, You’re a Fine Girl” so great? She finds love, he leaves, and the rest of the men in the community leave her alone. They tell her she’d be a good wife but otherwise she’s acceptably taken and unavailable. #deepthoughts #makessense

How do you know you’re an expert on something? Is it when you see so many others not knowing or doing it accurately/correctly?

A great audiobook really does make shoveling easier. I’m already 3.5 hours in and I’ve shoveled 3 times lol

Read a book hoping for answers. I got lots of answers and connections but not the answer I was looking for. This hasn’t happened in awhile. I love a good history mystery! 🥰

I’m listening to a self help audio book and when I tell you I feel like I’m Luke Danes listening to the book about creating a proper relationship, I need you know I’m not exaggerating but I am walking and not listening on a portable stereo. #gilmoregirls #itsavibe

A whole day of being tour guide Jess. I’ll be tired later, but until then I’m soooo happy. I love sharing history with anyone interested in learning! #publichistorylife #myfavoriteego

When your pup is sick, you have to do what they want. Today it meant we slept in, then walked, then I did a little yoga while he enjoyed his window time. And then we took a very long nap after have only been up an hour or so. Gotta encourage the recovery!

Anyone have a template example of what to say to a company (in my case the local radio station) about their poor choice in advertising ICE ads?

I got nearly 4 hours in the archive today. It wasn’t especially fruitful but it was a blast. It reminded me how much one document can tell you about so many things! #wasresearching #historian #archives

Reading how people traveled across the country before great settlement and cars never ceases to impress me. It’s all rarely the way I imagined. Maybe it’s all that Oregon Trail fun back in the day. 😂 #amreading #travelers #transportation

I saw a flock of birds today like I haven’t seen in years certainly not in town. Literally thousands of birds. It was mesmerizing. Nature remains magnificent.

I was stuck on the couch because my best bud needed snuggles, and that’s just fine. Good way to end a Monday.

@kairyssdal.bsky.social I heard “Who’s Yellen” this morning and I think we might need Dessa to make us a new song about Jerome Powell because he’s fighting the fight we all need.

Got all cute to go to Lowe’s because what if I didn’t have to do it all alone all the time? Ya never know.

I was gifted a not smart tv and friends, I’m so thrilled it is basic. We don’t need smart electronics just smart brains!

Single woman ingenuity gives MacGyver a run for his money. I got a free tv that’s bigger and heavier, but she’s hooked up and up on the cabinet and I did it by myself!

To all who are risking their safety for protests in America’s cities this evening, I say thanks. The videos have been moving. Rural Indiana has none of the sort but I couldn’t agree more with what you’re doing. #thankyou

Teddy the dog has decided that his New Year’s resolution is to make sure when the yoga mat comes out, he gets pets before yoga begins. I can manage that not that I had a choice.

Ok so is the plunder oil? Do they not realize we make our own pretty well now? I’m so confused as to motives aside from pure chaos.

It has recently occurred to me that two of my favorite movies include Nicholas Cage. Some may think that’s sad, but I’m good with it.
