A man lost his key in the pool today. I saw it and put my (adorable) toes on it. He kept diving to retrieve it guided by my foot. I don't think he was opening his eyes down there. He didn't get the key after 3 or 4 tries. Finally, a Dad came over with his kid's goggles on and was the hero. I wasn't about to get my hair wet. Sorry, sir. Lifeguard was a non-starter. That was my excitement for the afternoon. How was yours?

Like Mom always said…

If you can’t say something nice, go on social media!

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration released the Fiscal Year 2024 NASA budget request: http://nasa.gov/budget

@ScottSoCal @martychan Scott rather than have Tucker Carlson lead an inversion to “liberate” socialist Canada (he’s probably lying about that as well, he probably owns a property here.) We should politely ask if the States would like to import some of human rights and good governance structures. Maybe they can demand access to them through the CAMUS #Canada #Mexico #US trade agreement.

A little thank you for the love & kindnesses from those who read and shared (& subscribed to) this week's Substack, and from those who tagged me on International Women's Day. It means a lot :)

(I meant for this to be a selfie, but Rufus (claws and all) photobombed.)

Clean water is a fundamental human right.

While extremists work to weaken water protections across the United States, House Democrats remain committed to ensuring every community has access to clean water.

I'm enjoying my second day on Mastodon. Now to figure out the lingo. What is tooting? For some reason, I keep thinking that people are just really proud of farting. #introduction #Mastodon

it’s incredible to me that some birds can just glide so casually in the air. and the fact that each feather is likely sensing the air movement and adjusting accordingly is mind blowing. these northern harriers glide so slowly for how graceful they are. it’s wild. big fan of harriers over here.

Hello Mastodon 👋🏻

I came from Twitter where I had a modest following making Dad jokes and commenting on current events and politics.

I’m fascinated by this extraordinary decentralized network and it gives me a little hope for the internet like I had back in the 90s.

Hey, just probably time for a gentle reminder. You don't owe your oppressors sympathy.

When the Nazi who has been planning your genocide for decades suddenly and unexpectedly takes a nosedive at his glitzy hotel dinner and ends up hospitalized, you are not required to extend him compassion.

Spitting in the face of fascists who would happily support your eradication is a moral good, actually.

Fuck a censure! #JennaEllis should be disbarred!

My dog died this morning. In my arms. She was 17. The house is empty.

If loving you is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

@ScottSoCal
This impulse to debate someone else's life is really amazing to me.

And folks willing to open the door to that without interrogating it *at all.*

Saw a post on a different platform saying states should vote on abortion.

My eyes rolled so hard I think they're stuck.

Full reproductive freedom should not depend on zip code.

Either people with a uterus are free like those without -- or we're not and that's a goddamn problem.
