We’re all just in wait mode for the next GoFundMe…
A mad man playing chicken with millions of lives is still a madman - even if he doesn’t push the button. He needs to be removed from office.
Is he trying to say “incursion”?
Celebrating all the women in my life. You inspire me!
Honored to have my essay included in this collection. Proud to stand alongside giants in the profession of technical communication.

Good writing is about serving our readers. But increasingly, it must also serve the machine readers that bridge the gap between our content and those readers.

Wow!
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Northern lights last night from my front walkway. A beautiful light show free for everyone to see!
Years ago, a couple of my intro to lit students (theatre majors) caught me after class to accuse me of being Canadian because of the way I sometimes pronounce “about.” I grew up a U.S. military brat. Had a Canadian babysitter as a toddler, though, according to my mom.
Miss this beautiful place already!

I’m not advocating that others do this now. By all means, keep all of your given names. What I’m amazed at is the pushback women are experiencing now due to one party’s ill-conceived and cruel crusade. Ridiculous!
When I married over 40 years ago, I dropped my given middle name and took my maiden name as my new middle name. (I never told my mother!) I then applied for a reissued SS card (same SSN) in my new name, supplying my marriage license to them. My passport has always had my new name, as do my IRS files
Cognitive dissonance. 😂 Are they invisible or visible? 😂

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.
