Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

“Suffering drives behavior of avoidance which propels an individual to survive, but can also consume oneself when overwhelmed by its sheer weight.” So avoidance of suffering can cause more of it. This year, I am doing something every month that scares me - so far, it’s working! 💙📚

AES has raised rates so much, that using LESS energy this year now landed me a bill that is DOUBLE what it was in 2025. Bills like this have the potential to make people homeless. This is criminal - and they’re intending to raise rates AGAIN this year!!!!! #Indiana #Indianapolis #AES
Bovino saying there are consequences to what people say is just wild. The cognitive dissonance of the right is mind blowing.

Indiana Sen. JD Ford asked American Tower how a proposed data center would benefit residents. Their answer? A total non-answer. The plan puts it in a congested area with homes on well water, nursing homes, schools, apartments, a major hospital network—and along Crooked Creek. #nodatacenters

Cheers to the first birthday dinner in years where my peace took precedence. I spent the evening alone, at my choosing, no longer with a man who enjoyed ruining my holidays for sport. This was healing. For my book worms, I’m reading Hawt Flash: Midlife in Aura Cove by Blair Bryan. #booksky

Margaritas flight
Mimosa flight
Truly one of the best birthdays ever being sang to by Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus and my sweet friends at Bocado in Noblesville, Indiana. Their margarita & mimosa flights, the food, the little gift at the end…I can’t wait to go back!
Winning to these people simply means SAYING you’re winning, not actually DOING it.
And yet if you ask them what amazing things he’s done, they’ll just call you an idiot because facts no longer matter.
Didn’t they say he made them all sign NDAs or risk being sued? We may never know what the hell he saw.

I’m afraid to get too excited…I don’t want them to say in a few days “we are going to do this all over again” like they always do when attempting to resurrect ridiculous bills hoping for a different result. #optimisticbutcautious
And Indiana just voted down redistricting! The bullies are really feeling the heat!
Thankful that these senators had some courage even as they were receiving threats from the administration for not doing so. BULLIES SHOULD NEVER WIN!
Were they from Honduras? Maybe they thought they had a green light seeing that he pardoned their president for his coke smuggling.
Hexes Go Well with Tequila book cover by Leanna Ehrsam. Cover has a large three story black spooky house with a woman in a floral dress and a dog standing on the sidewalk.
The moment, Ursula, Cambridge, a 38-year-old woman from the Midwest, decides she finished being invisible in her life and relationship, she and her Irish wolfhound, Casper get a magical invitation to live in the lost soul‘s house in Salem, Massachusetts. There, she finds herself immersed in a magical town, living in a house with a graveyard that hosts the lost souls, one of Salem’s mysteries that keeps the town and tourist guessing, and someone would do anything to keep their dark origin a mystery. As she struggles to find her footing in this town, four women come around her, showing her the importance of community, friendship, and magical camaraderie when they wake up with more than margarita, hangovers and find that they’re playful graveyard he has worked. When Ursula bumped into the town bachelor who is rumored to be cursed, she tries to see her clear of his unreasonably grumpy disposition, but finds herself drawn to his surly yet vulnerable teenage niece Bess who forms an attachment to Ursula. Thrown into the middle of a modern day witch hunt, Ursula has to navigate a mysterious world of magic and mystery, political warfare, and passionate intentions with a man who has sworn off women, who bears a strengthening resemblance to the paper towel, Brawny Man. Hexes Go Well With Tequila will bring you on a whimsical journey of found family and found self, uncovering a centuries old mystery of 10 lost souls and fighting for invisible women.
Looking forward to reading Hexes Go Well With Tequila by a fellow Indiana Hoosier and feminist rabble-rouser Leanna Ehrsam! I love it when I find my people in my state! #booksky 📚💙
My Target boycott shall remain. 👏
They are not even hiding their plan for creating a New World order where awful people can take refuge.
No one but Trump wants this and even republicans are saying this. I’m furious that the people in the county I grew up in—who burned crosses on lawns for sport—will now be deciding what those of us in my neighborhood in Indy will have.
The amount of joy that this gave me. This was one more drop in my Costco love bucket. 😆
And here’s part 2. I might have some space available if you weren’t included in the other two! Just let me know below and I’ll get you added this week! #booksky
