Hola! AuHD, INFJ, empath, Gen X, science & language & culture nerd. Thinker, reader, writer, teacher.
Happily married + adult kids.
Born & raised in NYS, adulting in OK.
I just shared feelings I have buried for 5 years with my husband about how all 3 of our children moved out at once, left the house in a mess, & the feeling of abandonment. Turns out he felt the same. That rock is now off my back.

Saying things out loud can be such a relief!

Is it weird that the only songs I know by heart are Third Rock from the Sun by Joe Diffie, The Star-Spangled Banner, & Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? #randomthoughts

How Elon Musk Executed His Takeover of the Federal Bureaucracy
The operation was driven with a frenetic focus by the billionaire, who channeled his resentment of regulatory oversight into a drastic overhaul of government agencies.

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution:

Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.

Here’s something to think about as you kick off 2025: ✨We are all stardust.✨

Every atom of oxygen in our lungs, of carbon in our muscles, of calcium in our bones, of iron in our blood—was created inside a star before Earth was born.

Someone shared this with me, and I think it's beautiful. That's what I wish for everyone I love and appreciate in this New Year 2025, that your life is filled with an abundance of real luxuries. ❤️

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

According to history, one of the first things fascists try to do is eliminate libraries. Take away people's access to ideas that are different from those that the powers that be have, so no one questions them.
Libraries matter now more than ever. They stand for the powerful idea that knowledge is free and belongs to everyone. In a time when books and free thought are under threat, we must defend and support our libraries and librarians—they are guardians of access, learning, and freedom.
