I really need to work out regularly for my own sanity, but I’m utterly sick of trying to think up my workouts. So as a Mother’s Day gift to myself, I joined @MyPeakChallenge and I’m excited to check it out. Plus, having @SamHeughan as a coach seems like good motivation. 😂

A reminder that law enforcement *responds* to crime, but a living wage, food and water security, accessible healthcare, and public education *prevent* crime. If you want safer communities, invest in people, not punishments.

My little town finally FINALLY voted for a $3M budget override tonight to fully fund a new community center, despite a bunch of regressive assholes in town who’ve been working against it. Feels like a victory.

Zelensky offers guarantees for Russian soldiers who surrender: 1) To be treated in a civilized manner, 2) the circumstances of their surrender will remain undisclosed, 3) Ukraine will ensure those who do not want to return to Russia are not exchanged

Connecticut is the worst state, hands down. Nothing even happened yet, I just know at some point we are going to hit inexplicable traffic for 45 mins and it will suck.

We have crossed into Rhode Island. The kids are all silent. Husband and I have made eye contact and silently agreed not to make a sound and mess this up.
