After a protracted battle of wits with the local squirrel I finally succeeded in positioning the bird feeders out of its reach, I then found myself feeling sorry for the furry little bastard and now it's got its own bowl.

I've recently started signing my name as Chewbacca on forms and official documents. Nobody has said anything to me about it or even seems to pay attention to it. It gives me a laugh and I would definitely reooooarrgghghgghh
If my tube carriage has less than 10 people I imagine it crashes and we are the sole survivors trying to reach the surface and would be the leader, who dies first and who would be my love interest?

Elon Musk comes from a wealthy family - however you slice it, however you value emeralds, they had money.

I come from a family of 7 kids living on a school teacher’s salary on the wheat belt.

But because I’m transgender, I’m the out of touch elite.

Make it make sense.

I am resisting in place. I won’t march, and I already hold public office, it’s called Public Librarian. I make queer and trans people feel at home and change their name in the catalog and if my coworkers change it back, I change it again. I make rainbow brochures and when they get stolen and trashed I make more. I put book challenge info on the website. I’m safe zone trained and in the trenches. We may need extra funding soon so please remember and support us.

"Decentralised social media is more than just a technical shift; it's a step toward restoring autonomy and trust in our digital lives, empowering individuals and communities to connect without compromising their values or privacy."

Bernie and I have been doing this work for a long time, even if we don’t look it. Together, we've made real progress:

$35 insulin for seniors.
$35 inhalers for asthma.
$2,000 yearly cap on drug costs for seniors.

We’re showing how health care should be a right, not a privilege.
I’m so proud of the Inflation Reduction Act, which finally beat Big Pharma to allow us to negotiate lower prescription drug prices and secure more affordable insulin for seniors.

Not a single Republican voted for it – but that didn’t stop us.
