Nice day for a long walk and to sniff through leaves on the side of the path.

Indivisible's One Million Rising Zoom call tonight got an extra boost of hope and love for our country from Texas Representative Gene Wu. I could have listened to him longer. Wishing him courage and strength as he fights 47 and Abbott's tyranny.

I'll be reaching out to folks in my circle practicing non-cooperation but I also want to give a shout out to people on BlueSky that I don't know. Thank you for your courage and acts of non-cooperation! You inspire me to do more!

Beautiful evening to work on my neglected garden. These two fluffbutts are thinking... Don't worry about it, mom. Wouldn't you rather go for a walk?

Tuned into One Million Rising tonight on Zoom. Amazing how many people showed up. And just have to say I was pulled in by @ashdashlee.bsky.social Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson's enthusiasm and knowledge. I encourage everyone to check out: ‪https://www.nokings.org/rise

I'm already missing the vibe from The TARDIS Graveyard party room at Convergence. Maybe I need to decorate my craft room like this. #cvg2025 #doctorwho #TARDIS #blacklight

This handmaid was happy to escape to Convergence in Minneapolis today. Look who I met - Chris Kluwe, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social. Praise be! Should be a fantastic weekend of panels and games. Then back to protests next week. #cvg2025 #handmaidsofMN

Attended a candlelight vigil for the safe release and return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and other wrongfully detained persons deported by the United States government to El Salvador's Center for the Confinement of Terrorism. Bring them home.

"The government has cited no basis in law for Abrego Garcia's warrantless arrest, his removal to El Salvador, or his confinement in a Salvadoran prison," Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor wrote.
