My first Haiku!!! Creating it was a fun ride.
This poem opens with a question: What weighs an old heart?
And quietly, over time, it answers itself.

🌿✨ Happy Spring Equinox, my fellow travelers. ✨🌿
This piece, Fellow Traveler, came from a dream—one of those vivid, lingering ones that feel like slipping between worlds.
The #SpringEquinox, much like this dream, is a threshold—a moment of balance between light and shadow, past and future. #poetry

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

This was a bad reality show set up. Trump's little entourage of mean girls pushing buttons asking a President why he dressed a certain way. 100% disrespectful and unprofessional even for a simple business meeting. Big Daddy Putin must be so happy. Yep, the US is on the wrong side of history.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

Musing Therapy: Exploring Bonds. #Attachment shapes us, like water shapes sea glass—tumbling, softening, breaking, refining. Some of us are shaped by stormier tides. This #poem explores that journey, both in our #bonds with others and in the quiet battle within ourselves. #love #selflove

My abuelita always called St. Valentine’s Day "El Día de la Amistad y el Amor"; a reflection of her belief in Christian Agape—a love that is boundless, enduring, and selfless. You can take the novice nun out of the convent, but not the kindness out of her soul. #poem #Love #Soulfriend #Agape

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

It doesn't matter if the school district intended to violate her rights under the ADA and Section 504, that's missing the point. What matters is making sure children like Ava actually receive an education www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/01/27/s...
