This is definitely someone who should be in the House of Representatives, def. someone who should be able to introduce a bill that would essentially qualify anyone voicing their support of Palestinians/their opposition of the Israeli military murdering hundreds of thousands of them as “terrorists.”
![A screenshot of the shared article that states that Florida Republican Brian Mask [House of Representatives] is a former soldier of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)—the very entity bombing and sniping and kidnapping, torturing, and murdering Palestinians in Gaza [all documented, horrifying realities]. The screenshot also links to a previous statement that Mask made that babies are “not innocent Palestinian civilians.” Last but not least, the screenshot includes text about how the bill has little reason to exist, save for allowing Marco Rubio unilateral power to strip passports/citizenship of people without them actually having been convicted or even charged of a crime.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uxlg5hjnoj45tgleehfdvqw7/bafkreiehot74nhmtqu2juwocwayisf5usp5k5cdxu2czr5xerw34mbgjry@jpeg)

Every year on August 16 @stebbinsmatt.bsky.social and I hike into the mountains to re-read our vows—the ones we wrote ourselves and read to each other on this day 12 years ago. The ones we've had framed and hanging in our bedroom ever since. 12 years feels like a long time, and also like a blink.
![A trifecta of photos of Kerri & Matt 12-ish years ago—one from our wedding day, both of us standing in a high alpine lake wiping tears from our eyes. The other two selfies featuring with big smiles [Kerri] and amazing mustaches [Matt].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uxlg5hjnoj45tgleehfdvqw7/bafkreialtpyrkeqgyorbognem5gcehbh6uetlmztxharw5dh37p2tssfk4@jpeg)

This week also looked like bike stoke, post-ride swims, Toya grins, sunrise-soaked ridge lines, an accidental rabbit murder (I cried), an intentional chipmunk murder (Toya is adorable/remorseless), homemade meals made + home-grown herbs, a comics class with beloved humans, huckleberry-stained hands.

This week looked like unruly inboxes and impromptu meetings and a return to (way too) hot temps and soft pretzels and high praise and a dramatic end to a notably lucky fire season. [Wildland firefighters: thank you, thank you.]

Today our beloved muppet pup turned seven, and so we took the day off to fill our bellies with dirt and sunlight. We also filled our bellies with rainbow sprinkle Rice Krispie treats. A good day.

Procuring three different types of mini pies for Pi(e) Day was an extremely solid and tasty plan. Leaning into every tiny win these days (and always).

When you’re co-leading the first session of a beloved book club filled with some of your favorite humans and one of your other favorite humans hand-delivers a heart-shaped Rice Krispie treat (that your dog of course thinks is for her). My heart is so full tonight.

This book is so good. Originally delivered as a lecture at Columbia in September 2023, the potent prose in these 80 pages is a master class. It’s a book that should be taught in undergrad Literature and Language programs across the country.

Photos taken by a neighbor of ours here in our little mountain town during today’s local protest. She’s waiting to hear if she still has a job via more impending Forest Service cuts. Another neighbor of ours lost his FS job last week. These are public servants being treated like they’re expendable.

Matt made a bevy of wonderfully tasty Lunar New Year-inspired dishes all day today. Toya has been Very Interested throughout the culinary adventure, even though she both despises and cannot eat onions.

The first few weeks of this year have been relentless, in so many ways, but they’ve also been peppered with intention (friend dates, morning swims, diagnostic medicine, writing time) and spontaneity (neighborhood dog parties, sunlit strolls, family ski dates), and it’s all making such a difference.

The only thing cuter is this video of how happy Toya is being out there with you.

Last night I closed another DIVE [quarterly writing group] session with an inspiring group of humans who wrote together for the last three months of the year. Sound interesting/like something you (or a writer in your life) might be into?

I’m honestly not sure who had the most fun out of the three of us, but odds are good it was Toya.
