The time has come for me to protect myself from the endless hours I would spend trying to figure out a problem that is truly unsolvable. I have created a list. I've named the list NOTES FOR LOSING YOUR MIND. And the first item on the list is:
Heather Graham and Kate Hudson are not the same person.
Canadian/Caribbean here. We know the US will heal from this. 🙏🏽🫂❤️🇨🇦🇰🇳
"Wheel(s) in the Sky: How Much Data Is TOO Much?" is the topic for the livestream I'll be guesting on today at 2pm PST. I love chatting with astrologers Andrea Gehrz and Ricky Williams. (Yes, 🏈 THAT 🌿 Ricky Williams -- I know!!!) Come say hi! ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=kILN...

It's complicated. With the state of our government right now, I've asked the hubs (who proudly served at the Reagan White House in the 1980s) what he would do, were he serving there today. Do you follow the orders of someone who is actively disassembling many of the freedoms you enlisted to protect?
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment:
"To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is the federal agency created by the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (NLRA). The NLRA guarantees the right of private sector employees to organize into trade unions, engage in collective bargaining, and take collective action such as strikes, and the NLRB enforces these rights.

Union A-Z: When companies need a little push to do the right thing, going to the NLRB can be a crucial step in winning union recognition or resolving worker grievances.
ALL workers deserve to go home safe and healthy at the end of the workday. But Kayla, a former OSHA worker, highlights the millions of workers who face increased danger in the workplace thanks to the Trump admin’s OSHA cuts. America’s unions won’t let that happen without a fight.

Babe, wake up, new way to make Proud Boys run away just dropped
Many of the LA Sheriffs didn't have their gas masks on yet so the Sheriffs got gassed by LAPD
LAPD was on the radio crying about getting shot by rubber bullets by the sheriffs, so I'd say fair trade
Typical level of professional policing for Los Angeles. Waiting for CHP to join the fun.

And you're doing pretty well too, DrA
Did you discuss any of this with your husband (and cat) before making the shift, and are they ok with the change... if this is, in fact, a change...
But gosh that tray looks amazing... I should make one like it for my wife. She'd really love that.
AMEN! When I first taught incorporating to actors and other showbiz creatives 20 years ago, I heard, "WHY does no one TEACH this?" and I replied, "They do. At country clubs. And private schools. And exclusive frats." There is SO MUCH hidden from "the rest of us" and it's time to TAKE the advantages.
Celebrating!
Yep, Mars is now direct... but still out-of-bounds and in the sign of his fall. So, less self-harm with all that rage but still the likelihood we'll spew ire in bizarre, regretful ways. As always with Mars stuff, take a breath/count to 10, THEN grab the flamethrower and take your best shot. 🔥
Venus performs her retrograde illusion again starting March 1st. If you're in need of daily love, money, and enoughness support, I created 44 DAYS WITH VENUS last retro. It's a glorious self-love microdose exploration. bonniegillespie.teachable.com/p/44-days-wi... (LMK if you need a discount code.)

My journalism degrees weep for the "news" outlets that are kissing Cheeto-in-Chief's butt rather than taking a stand for what reporting is *supposed* to be. C'mon, y'all. Support the AP rather than acquiescing to this narcissist's every whim.
I put up a bunch o' links bonniegillespie.com/i-recommend for those of us who are looking for ways to spend less time wondering WTF to do about all the nonsense. ❤️🔥 I'll be livestreaming again on Wednesday. We're gonna do the March 2025 calendar (the woo weather comes with a trigger warning). 💥✨
Trans kids are kids.
Tomorrow I ask my congresspeople to protect nonprofits' right to help trans kids. No org should fear retaliation for helping those in need.
We must all speak up for what matters.
If not now, when? If not us, who?

Absolutely ZERO sympathy for these non-white, immigrant Trump supporters. None.
Thanks for the lesson
