I was JennyD! on Twitter for yrs but haven't posted there since 5/2022. My only claim to fame was that I coined #StandUpSpeakOut. I was also on Mastodon sdf until tech probs grabbed it. Now I'm here, on toad.social, & looking for some peace, relaxation, news, interaction re democracy & climate change. A Dem thru & thru, I love blues, jazz, poetry, writing, sincerity, giving back, animals, a kitchen full of good cooking. Remember: Voices count and so does a good martini 🍸
The countdown to Christmas is here and that means party celebrations in my neck of the woods. It's time to get out of sweats and slippers, get dolled up, and make merry!
So, I will see you good folks after the holidays (hopefully still standing), but until then, I wish ALL of Mastodon Good Food, Good Cheer, and Good Friends. Have a ball!

70% of Americans are for gun control laws:

We need to question/push why our Elected officials are not doing what the majority has been begging for. Lives of children & citizens should not be ignored. #StandUpSpeakOut

Poll: Americans overwhelmingly prioritize gun control over ownership rights

A large majority of respondents said they viewed gun violence as extremely or very important in the upcoming midterms.
