- How am I put on hold because all of the representatives are busy, only to get a message that the office is closed and to call back during business hours, except it is during business hours?

- Taking a mental break: a bowl of Greek yogurt, the most ridiculously good granola, and Heated Rivalry queued up.
- Bidding ends tonight!
- Reposted by Heather Dean BrewerI may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

- I know there will be a time when I miss this, but it is hard to fall asleep with a kid practicing cello in the next room.

- You guys, my kid had to enter 40 email addresses into a school fundraising platform. He didn't want to spam his friends and family with donation requests, so he found a law firm in Colorado and entered every one of the lawyers' addresses.
- A few things I did that helped me feel less helpless: ✅ Called my reps ✅ Made a donation to standwithminnesota.com ✅ Asked two friends to call their reps ✅ Spent time with family ✅ Donated an auction item to Publishing for Minnesota (🔗 in comments) ✅ Thanked a neighbor for being a good neighbor
- I just cannot stop crying today. Good. Pretti. MN. 💔

- Reposted by Heather Dean BrewerI was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

- British influencers Josh and Jase are stomping around my homeland of Michigan. This video of them sledding down the dune climb at Sleeping Bear Dunes is sending me. www.facebook.com/reel/7667929...
- Parents are reaching out to me with stories of their brave little activists carrying LOVE IS POWERFUL signs in Minneapolis. My heart breaks for the fear their communities are facing, and I’m in awe of the courage Minnesotans are showing by standing together.

- Great review of ONWARD: 16 Climate Fiction Short Stories to Inspire Hope #booksky #books #YA #ClimateFiction pearlsandrubys.slj.com/2026/01/13/r...

- First two reads of the year. Loved them both. Hail Mary captured my imagination and The Wilds is right up my alley--wilderness suspense/mystery (if that was a genre). It's the first book I've read by Pearse. Looking forward to reading more.
- Stuck in a blizzard in Chicago in the early 2000s, Michigan Avenue was shut down except for the Cheesecake Factory. We were staying in an apartment across the street and had no food, so we walked over to an empty restaurant. The only other guest was seated in the booth next to us: Jerry Springer.
- Still thinking about this movie. It's been awhile since I've been to a movie theater, and this one was well worth it. #SongSungBlue www.illinoistimes.com/arts-culture...

- Have to say, I LOVED Song Sung Blue. Not what I expected. It was a little weird, a little dark, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of Lightning and Thunder. Great fun.
