RN living in beautiful wine country, hoping democracy will survive. I swear, a lot.

Being read to and encouraged to read was one of the greatest gifts my parents ever gave me. My parents never put any barriers on their own library, bought us book lights so we could read in the car, and pretended they didn’t notice when I’d be up past bedtime reading under the sheets.

Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

Californians are still rebuilding and recovering after the devastating 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. I'm glad FEMA has finally heeded to our calls to release urgently needed financial assistance through the Disaster Case Management Program.

After weeks of pressure from myself, @repbradsherman.bsky.social, @schiff.senate.gov, & @padilla.senate.gov, FEMA FINALLY released $6.6M for the DCMP, the lifeline thousands of Southern California wildfire survivors depend on to navigate the red tape standing between them and rebuilding.
