Appreciation post for the 4$ metal basket I bought to make cold brew coffee at home this past year. This morning was our first coffee outside on the porch with the crows of 2026 🐦‍⬛🌞🐦‍⬛

Peepers!

On the way to “school” to see his friends, full of excitement- a tan and white pitbull mid with ears pinned back and a big smile

Oh the way home from doggy daycare, exhausted and happy baby, a tan and white pitbull mix looking super content, ears relaxed, eyes sparking with joy

Ever-happy tri-colored Aussie girl looking at the camera with her head slightly turned to the side, earnestness and a smile on her little face

I was skeptical that 2 days of doggy daycare would be fun for them when I was no longer WFH but knew I only had bandwidth to take them into work 1 day/week. Turns out hanging with their friends all day is THE BEST 🌈💜 Rescue Pitbull and Australian Shepherd both full of joy. Love!

Oh my gosh I miss summer

I credit my age and naked sleeping. My normally pin-straight hair is going curly, too. Loving this era

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

Just got off the phone with President Trump. In our meeting earlier, I shared my concerns about Columbia student Elmina Aghayeva, who was detained by ICE this morning. He has just informed me that she will be released imminently

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

I don’t think I would want a blue jay on my shoulder 🙃

This guy gets it.

I’ve had a wild crow friend for almost 2 full years now, I feed their whole family and one other congress of crows in my village. I couldn’t miss an “official” cawcus 🤣🐦‍⬛❄️

It’s worth it

It was! It was the first year but there was a good turnout. Music, poetry, lectures. Many folks dressed as crows which was also fun!

I add sweet potato to this recipe and it makes the whole dish. I love sweet potato with plain Greek yogurt and butter too

I felt the same about a year ago and then made a point to see at least a few shows a month. Seeing the music was lovely but BEING with the crowd was amazing/connecting. Saw big acts and small shows, festivals & “series” shows. Keeping it going this year and adding more live theater. #SupportTheArts

The dogs were outraged that we got home so late last night. We were home for 20 minutes and they demanded we go up to bed. It was so funny trying to figure out what was wrong! Finally Bobby just huffed and walked up the stairs like “b!tch, it is SLEEPY.TIME. Y’all need to MOVE.” 🔥❄️
