I've lived in my house for 13yrs and have 3 light switches that I still have no idea what they're for.

Attention stoners: Texas might be the next place to move.

Texas just took a big step towards decriminalizing weed.

In our history textbooks, we learned that European settlers pushed westward, displacing Indigenous tribes until sadly they were no more. But this is wholly inaccurate.

The “Indians”—as Columbus infamously misnamed them—are still here in America. They number well over five million according to the 2020 census. And yet, as hard as it is to admit, a genocide of Indigenous people and cultures continues in this country even to this day, as Native children are removed from their families and tribes to live in primarily White, Christian homes.

That continuing assault is today’s subject in The Big Picture. Head over to #TBP to read now: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/indigenous-genocide-foster-care-icwa

All veterans deserve the resources and services to succeed in civilian life.

This week, my staff met with Wounded Warrior Project to talk about mental health services for veterans and the new health care and benefits available through the PACT Act.

To all who served, thank you.

We need to stop taking anyone seriously, that tell us to "tolerate" people who want to take away other people's civil rights. That's not what tolerance is.

Today in Labor History March 9, 1902: Actor Will Geer was born. Best known for his role as Grandpa Walton in the long-running series, “The Waltons,” Geer also appeared in the groundbreaking film, “Salt of the Earth,” which portrayed the struggle of Mexican American workers at the Empire Zinc Mine. Because of his activism on labor and political issues, he was blacklisted in Hollywood for many years. In 1934, he became a member of the Communist Party. He also met LGBTQ activist Harry Hay that year and they became lovers. Together, they supported the 1934 San Francisco General Strike and demonstrated against fascism and for workers’ rights.

How about this idea…

Conversion therapy for bigots?

Six years ago today. Any day now, I'm sure.

I bought this bird house end of Fall last year, hoping to entice a Spring inhabitant. It was too close to my feeder. So 2 weeks ago, I moved it. Within 2 days, a resudent birb took up housekeeping! Can't wait to see who emerges!

I like this one better. The first one showed a little camera shake. What do you think?

Just a reminder

Sometimes I like to stand in the kitchen and shout things like “aluminum foil is microwaveable, right?” just to watch my husband run.

Happy International Women's day!

I know you know amazing women, or are an amazing woman yourself!
Seeing a person's eyes light up because a gift makes them feel cared for, thought of, appreciated. That is true joy.
I'd be honoured to send you or a woman you love jewellery, a friend, mother, daughter, partner, or any other amazing important woman in your life. ❤️
