🤔 I have this same triple conjunction (minus MH) in 7H and I am the 🐐 at family trip planning.

View from the doorway of a makeshift home office with a pink upholstered executive chair against dark teal green walls. A portable tray desk supports a laptop and one piece of abstract pink and green art sits on top of an end table behind the chair. A window has a view of the backyard on the far wall.

If you've met with me in the past few years (or paid attention to my profile photo), you know my signature dark green space color. (It's actually teal.)

I recently had to move to a new office, but I brought my color with me. It's a work in progress, but the room energy is already an upgrade.

This year, for me, is set to be one of new beginnings, new ventures and a little bit of rebirth.

Actually knowing how to use excel.

Registration flyers are going out to students this week.

I have this same problem! And then the personal struggle that follows where I wonder if this is really about learning a new thing or just me thinking my way is worse and I shouldn't give in to that... and then I go back to throwing.

I should try again. If you find a trick, please share!

Just realized the population of Twin Peaks was more than twice the size of my hometown.

That being said, my children are born and raised in Virginia, so I will absolutely be having them watch Spanberger's response speech.

True story. Instead of the SOTU, I rewatched Dan Aykroyd's 1991 fever dream film "Nothing But Trouble"

Neocities Create and surf awesome websites for free.

How am I just discovering neocities.org is a thing??

My nostalgia is turned up to 11.

My 10yo: the school Valentine's candygram lollipops are smaller this year because of the money go up thing go down thing.

Me: Inflation?

10yo: yeah, that.

The makeup and styling in Twin Peaks is so flawless. And the lighting! But I guess that's true for anything Lynch.

Rewatching Twin Peaks for the first time as a parent and episode one hit so differently.

Oh I'm about to become insufferable aren't I

@maincharacter.today thank you for your alt text helping me discover the Paul McCartney LINE stickers.

The good news I needed this week: I got approval to start a Newspaper Club at my kids' elementary school.

Excited to teach storytelling tools to the next generation and hopefully plant a few seeds to reforest the Fourth Estate.

Doing what I can to be the change I want to see this week...

🤞🤞

This is nonetheless more favorable terrain for Trump than for the American system. As New York Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once wrote (here in The Post), “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” Trump has for years stoked the idea that actually, having your own facts is fine. And even as his base chooses facts that he finds inconvenient in the moment, he’s still pushing toward the next phase: Everyone is entitled to the facts that Trump presents. What institutions of power will be left to disagree?

These are the last words in the last column I wrote for The Washington Post, titled "When institutions crumble, strongmen step in". www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Yet another sad day for journalism in the USA.

And so many of those "prestige" shows should be MOVIES. And not 3-hour movies. 1-hour-and-thirty-four-minute-runtime events.

I get CHILLS from good editing.

I've donated recurringly for a while now, but it's time for me to donate more.

I encourage everyone to donate to @propublica.org.

Take the money you pulled away from other platforms in protest and redirect it to those doing the good work to keep democracy alive in broad daylight.
