Heating up seven bags of microwave popcorn one after the other will make your microwave stop working permanently.😔

My detached retina (from October) is healing and according to the doctor, it is very much reattached again.

I’ve had both eyes done and it was the best thing ever! You’ll be amazed at the difference in your new vision.

Both of my grandmas had schnauzers when I was a young girl. Yours are adorable!

My cat Penny is 14 pounds of love and fur.

So presidential.🙄

Retired librarian here. I am presenting at my church this month about how to fight book censorship and support librarians. My heart aches for those working in libraries today. I had two challenges in my career and successfully kept the books in the library. Crazy times for sure.

I don’t know how many times I told my students this over the years. I am retired now but I wouldn’t say it today if I were teaching.

Wildflower garden including zinnias, bergamot and coneflowers.

This is my summer paradise. I enjoy all of the wildlife that inhabits this part of our yard: the goldfinches, hummingbirds, rabbits, butterflies, and bees. Parts of it are messy and full of weeds but there is so much beauty too - kind of like life (messy but beautiful.)

I agree with you! I am now a retired teacher librarian and her posts have changed my thinking as well. I appreciate the wisdom of @heymrsbond.com and her ability to influence change for the better.

Congratulations!

So true!

I watch them every day multiple times a day. A much needed break from the rest of the world.

🤣🤣🤣

Love the assortment of flags!

I watched this movie as a child and it deeply frightened me.

I loved this book! I also just read the graphic novel Big Jim and the White Boy which provided a different take on the Jim and Huck relationship. Also very good!

James by Percival Everett and Big Jim and the White Boy by David F. Walker (graphic novel). Both are retellings of Huck Finn from the Jim’s perspective. Loved both of them!

I fear the same thing. My son plans to get married in a national park this summer and I fear that even that won’t happen.

I’m participating and have shared with friends and family

I’ve received them too and I don’t travel.

We’ve been hearing from many you that when you call your reps about the budget resolution, Republican staffers are now pushing back to claim the budget does NOT cut Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, etc. Clearly a memo went out to all Republicans to have their staff gaslight their constituents... (1/x)

I will be participating too and have shared with family and friends. We have to start somewhere.

I will be standing with you, friend!

National Economic Blackout Day on Friday, February 28th. Protest with our wallets and don’t spend money at restaurants, stores or at gas stations unless it’s an emergency and then shop at small independent local businesses and use cash.

I may not be able to control what is going on in this country but I do control how, where and when I spend my time and money. I’m not spending any money on Friday. Will you join me?

That looks absolutely amazing!

I felt the same way. I knew that she had to deal with her family’s history of trauma but did not realize the degree of her own trauma and the isolation.

How traumatizing it had to be for Denver growing up to know what her mother was capable of and living in that constant fear. To have that trauma along with all of her family’s trauma would be too heavy for a child. My empathy for Denver grew so much more in this chapter.
