I like #books, #cats, and #coffee. I don't like tRump, most of the GOP, and people who drive too slowly in the left lane. You might find me #hiking on the weekends with my #dog, or #paddleboarding with my spouse. I'm trying to visit all the #NationalParks. I like #creative things and people at work always use the same word to describe me...passionate.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Last year I made a website for people who want to #volunteer or do good in the world, but may not want or be able to do something in person.

https://volunteer.onl

It's a categorized index of ways you can #volunteer your time with a variety of projects.

I made it specifically for people who are struggling with #mentalhealth issues, who may be #disabled or are maybe just overwhelmed at where to start.

I'd love feedback or suggestions for more sites!

This week, a bailiff stopped me and acted as though I was in the wrong place as I walked through a portion of the courthouse that is restricted to attorneys and judges.

I'm an attorney. I was wearing a suit and conducting myself just like every other attorney in that area.

This is not the first time that has happened. I can think of several other instances in various counties where courthouse security has assumed that my black skin means I must not be an attorney.

I'm tired of it.

George Santos lying about every aspect of his candidacy (and Kevin McCarthy embracing him to the tune of committee assignments) is perhaps the most perfect example of what the Republican party has become.

I miss the days when the Republican party at least had a veneer of credibility and integrity. Sadly they have long since passed.

Nurses work 12hr shifts; sell their days off; use food banks; pay £1300 a year to park. And 40,000 have left their jobs in a year.

Tory MPs sit for 150 days; get subsidised food; claim travel & energy on expenses; get free parking & £2,200 pay rises.

Back the nurses please

There’s been a lot of talk about popcorn and the hilarity of Kevin McCarthy’s humiliation. Honestly, I find all the chaos and nihilism and ignoring of the responsibility to govern just plain sad.
Life imitating art, or vice versa?

If the top 1% holding more wealth than 290 million Americans doesn’t convince you that wealth inequality is out of control, I don’t know what will.
Shocked by how dysfunctional Republicans have become
@GottaLaff I’m at work unable to watch…..thank you for the updates, keep them coming.
