I have made a decision, which is this: Keeping up two BlueSky accounts is a pain in the ass and I don't want to do it. Especially because my initial intent was that this account would be family and political stuff and my other account would be fandom stuff, but... that's not how it turned out.

San Diego Day 1: Whales, dolphins, sea lions, Coronado Island, a local outdoor market and some local brews. Also somehow Dan managed a two-hour nap.
Dan has great pictures from our morning on the ocean; he should especially be asked about the Meme Sea Lion. Here are a few of mine.

With maternity care deserts growing and the maternal health crisis worsening in the face of abortion restrictions, the last thing rural hospitals need is for Republicans to cut their funding.
Make no mistake: that's what cutting Medicaid means.

Republican Medicaid cuts could shutter rural hospitals, maternity care
Potential Medicaid cuts could devastate America’s teetering rural health-care system and jeopardize Republicans’ political power among rural voters.

Spring Strings Festival!
This is a very cool thing that MMSD has done every Spring for 58 years. Strings players grades 5 - 12, coming together at their respective high schools for a giant concert, ceremoniously closed every year with Ode to Joy.

ICYMI: my plan to lower out-of-pocket costs for working families will prevent property taxes from going up for the average Wisconsin homeowner.
I’m hopeful Republican lawmakers will support my proposal. We should be able to get this done.

Leah hosted her first genuine sleepover last night. She's had friends sleep over one at a time, but last night there were SEVEN of them.
They ate crap food, stayed up til almost dawn, and are exhausted but happy this morning.
It was A LOT, but she's so lucky to have such a good group of friends 🥰

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those.
If it doesn’t sort out, be aware you may see applause on both sides of the aisle but they may be GOP

This morning she said, "I don't feel any different, except that I can have social media accounts now."
Which led to a discussion about AO3.
I said, "I've been on AO3 for so long that when I signed up, it was by invitation only."
"Wow. Just. Wow."
HBD, kiddo ❤️ from your old mom.

These reckless GOP actions are going to hurt kids, families, seniors, and folks with disabilities, including over 1.4 million Wisconsinites who depend on Medicaid. That’s wrong.

Republicans just took their first step to give a massive tax break for the richest of the rich – paid for by slashing Medicaid, ripping health care from kids and seniors, and gutting food assistance for families.
I stand with Wisconsin families. We're going to fight back.

I didn't love Deb in the beginning, but now deep into Season 7 I'm like. Actually I want to thank her for some great new expressions including:
"Fuck me in both ears"
"Why in Fuckville"
"Sweet Mary mother of fuck"
which I will be implementing into my vocabulary at the earliest fucking opportunity.
