Sounds very similar to here; very little fall color 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you 🙏

That’s a long trip from where you live! Glad you had the opportunity. We’ll be moving a couple more carloads to the new place today (and will be looking forward to having more pleasant pastimes in the near future!)

I’ve felt pretty homeless since the demise of legacy Twitter. I guess that ship has sailed? Sad, because we really need that kind of interaction, now more than ever.

John… my Crew beat them during the regular season. I think they have been disrespected throughout this season. Let’s keep the magic going!

all are welcome 🤗

🕊️Elizabeth @palm1elizabeth.bsky.social · 7h

Agreed!

#FlowerReport from S WI: no killing frost yet. These hummingbird-favorite Lantana and Cuphea are still available for them to feed on, though I haven’t seen one for a couple of weeks. Best and kindest regards.

So much gratitude, Diane. Rest well. 🫂 💜 ☮️

I know we should celebrate Tony Fitzpatrick for his Chicago art, but I'll always love his portrait of NYC's Flaco

Enjoy your family outing! ⚽️ here: Caffeinated and packing up odd stuff to donate (note to self: don’t pick up “bric a bac” EVER AGAIN!) to prepare for movers on Tuesday ; )

Thanks for pointing this out; I thought it sounded like something straight out of the ridiculous WH Press office

5 things I’m watching closely in U.S. public health this fall/winter:

1. COVID & influenza trends
2. H5N1 spillover risk
3. Measles resurgence
4. Public Health workforce strain
5. Impacts of Medicaid unwinding and insurance premiums rising

We had a light frost in S WI last night, but my basil survived it. Its days are numbered, however! 🌿

Unfortunately, I think this explains why we’re in this situation right now. It’s absolutely terrifying

🕊️Elizabeth @palm1elizabeth.bsky.social · 3d

Haha, WI has a long list of those

It’s revealing of the times we’re living in, that I am listening to true crime podcasts (as an alternative to news broadcasts) to relax. 😬

Listening to Pam Bondi speaking to Sen. Durbin today: it’s more apparent than ever that what this admin is doing in our cities is just a flimsy premise for canceling the next (and probably any future) elections. Tell me: how does this change?

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

You and I are kindred spirits. I refuse to throw public health strategies under the bus, and those who know me understand that. 😷 💉

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

Feeling a bit despondent given martial law, degradation of our public institution… so timeline cleanse with PIE 🥧
