So today is Button Day (established in 1938). My grandma left me her collection of buttons, along with two of her sewing baskets, and a biscuit tin full of notions (a British band name, perhaps? “Biscuit Tin of Notions”).

What are things that connect you with your past? Which of them supports your growth? Which of them keeps you tethered to a version of yourself that no longer serves your highest good?

I spent 7 straight hours in a planning meeting today. A bit fried. Currently watching LotR: Return of the King and drinking a glass of wine. What’s up in your world?

Timeline cleanse and tension breaker on Election Eve. This makes me laugh every time I see it.

I know I’m not the first to make this connection, but yesterday as I was shopping for groceries, I saw that a box of cereal was $8.00. Now imagine an adult going home after work and telling their children, “Good news, kids! Today, I earned almost eight boxes of cereal!”

Income inequality is inherently unstable, untenable and inhumane.

Fellow white women: you are not impervious to the fallout a Trump presidency will bring. Statistically speaking, the wives of the astronomically wealthy will be safe(r), but the rest of us will be controlled. Your daughters will be restricted and monitored by religious zealots who will superimpose their values onto you and your children. Don’t let racism and hate influence a short sighted decision to make #Project2025 the laws of our land. Your skin color will not protect you from your gender.

The world got a little dimmer today with the passing of actor Teri Garr. I loved her in Young Frankenstein, but I think my favorite role was Sandy in Tootsie.

May her memory be a blessing.

Right?! The comfy cozy cocoon of privilege it takes to promote such an entitled position is maddening.

Dictators are genocidal tyrants who literally eliminate anyone who doesn’t agree with them. The third party purists will be among the first on the chopping block. Their righteous indignation will not protect them from a Trump administration.

Thank you for this day. 🌇

You should see the other guy!

One of my favorite things about voting by mail is being able to take my time researching the judges.

Decluttering and giving a lot of stuff away. While sorting through boxes and piles of detritus, I found a quote from an interview I gave for my alumni magazine a few years ago:

“We are at once at our strongest and weakest when asking for help. When you can give of yourself to propel another person forward, that’s a sacred transaction.”

Watching this ad reminds me of the MAGAts who, upon getting intubated and dying from COVID, BEGGED for the vaccine—but it was too late. There will be white men who watch helplessly as their daughters die due to Trump's policies on abortion. The court he packed; the zealots who pull his strings. Women are dying. Unless we keep him out of the WH, more will die. These white men who think their whiteness protects them will lose their children to hate.

@WarnerCrocker just posted it. White men who think their whiteness keeps them from being affected by their vote for Trump are/will be mistaken.

Thank you for this day. 🌇

Happy Monday! Remember the show, “Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell”? I took this pic at a comic con a long time ago and kept it in my phone bc I thought it was silly.
