Three Days on the Islands of Orkney https://t.co/yS3JYTaJMs Loved my trip, thanks to @Rabbies_Travel (not sponsored, I just loved them so much!)

Disgusted by Biden's speech in Tel Aviv and US veto at UN Security Council. No longer can the world see the US as a defender of human rights.

This is 15 (fifteen!!!) paid, but unfulfilled orders, y'all. #TheBookishBox This is $1,038 worth of orders. I can't do this anymore @Thebookishbox

I sure do. Thanks again to the GOP govt watchdogs from around the county and the six Iowa GOP legislators who made the opposition bipartisan. https://t.co/xRDJeXNoWT

Thank you to @MSNBC for covering the Iowa GOP's undemocratic and unethical stripping of power from our elected State Auditor #RobSand. Great job tonight @RobSandIA. So many of us in Iowa are with you.

Just bought my tickets to the Paris Olympics 🙏 Bringing my older two children.

I knew that @Thebookishbox was pretty delayed...but how can I keep justifying it when they literally have THIRTEEN unfulfilled orders of mine? One is even from August 2022. I don't know how much longer I can keep the faith, y'all.

@netflix Remember renting vhs’ from us. You could start it on time no problem… This is what we get.

Tonight as Tennessee House Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd chants “fascists.” Media forced out at as well. Then, Rep. Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me and grabs my phone. This is a sad day for Tennessee.

NOW: Surrounded by advocates and protestors in the Tennessee Capitol : @brotherjones_ “the voice of the people will never be silenced. This is what democracy looks like.” KEEP CALLING. KEEP PEACEFULLY GOING TO THE CAPITOL 615-741-2343

4 a.m., rolling over to wake my husband: Would you love me if I were a worm? Him: Huh? Me: Like, a shifter worm. Him: Sure. We'd spend a lot of time in the garden together. Me: And if a bird tried to take off with me? Him: I'd have to work hard to make sure that doesn't happen.
