We only get this one life. Trying to make mine count. I want to help #savedemocracy. Here for #books, #education, #science #factualnews, #kindness, #writing and to spread a little cheer through #photography.
Did some things for my mental health on Thanksgiving: ran a 5K turkey trot with my family and then brought home a puppy. Meet our precocious Golden. I don’t think I’ve slept more than four hours in a row since I got her but she is a sweetheart. We will be besties, I’m sure. #puppies

There have only been 12 times that December 7th has fallen on a Sunday, the same day as the bombing of Pearl Harbor, since Sunday, December 7th, 1941. Tomorrow...will be the 13th time.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.
After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed.
Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

The extreme and psychotic overreaction by Trump and Stephen Miller to Democratic military vets in the Senate and House urging service members to remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not a man tells us a lot about the Trump admin’s plans for the military.

Love her creativity. And her campaign’s contribution to food banks during the govt shutdown. Illinoisans, go and hear what this hands-on candidate has to say. Her actions already speak volumes. #learngrowvote
They said “science fair-style” and we took it seriously.
See you at the Chicago Waldorf School for the 40th Ward Dems candidate fair! ☺️

While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come."
As in, "If you write it, they will publish it."
It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table.
Build it. They will come 🙏
