Today, in #MyWildlife: Animals are my groove, but The Boy also got us into #plants by planting our 1st #vegetable & herb #garden. Mixed success thanks to chipmunks & crazy heat but WE HAVE SQUASH. I water these lovelies daily while visiting Thurston & feel like a proud 1st-time Mom! #gardening
Ladies, if your gyno is telling you HRT is too dangerous, educate them by sharing this documentary & any articles surrounding the controversial 2002 study still being incorrectly cited. If they still say no, find a new gyno who is up to date on current research.
DrDinD.bsky.social@drdind.bsky.social · 6d ago🧵 Balance is an extraordinary documentary series - two Jain monks in their late 30s, experiencing the impact of perimenopause ("sleeplessness, fatigue, anxiety, and mood swings") undergo a journey to understand why and "...find that a controversial study by the Women’s Health Initiative in 2002....
Yep these damn butterflies out here charging tariffs, starting illegal & never-ending wars & driving up interest rates and food, gas & housing prices. As always, Republicans are laser-focused on tackling the very real economic problems facing the American taxpayer.

We all need to get reeeeally comfortable with simply stating “this is all bullshit.” Because literally everything they’re doing IS.

I am giddy over this. I’m so grateful that at least the UK prosecutes rape, sex trafficking, &child pornography. If only the U.S. did. Look at these assholes: Have you ever seen 2 faces that needed more punching?

I don’t know who needs to hear this today… but take it from a #hearttransplant recipient: DO EPIC SHIT, friends. We’re burning daylight! None of us knows how much time we have left & it’s *entirely* up to *you* to spend it well. 💚 #DoEpicShit #champagnemonday
"Let there never be any confusion over the choice Lindsey Graham made. He chose Trump over his friend. He chose Trump over his country. He chose Trump over his duty. He chose Trump over his oath." Good riddance.
Steve Schmidt@thewarningses.bsky.social · 4w agoLindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...
Today, in #MyWildlife: Thurston and I have such a good thing going. Seeing his sweet little face every morning is the perfect start to my days here on Nighthawk Hill. 😍 #redfox #fox #nature
Today, in #MyWildlife: A fledgling American Robin (on the right) enjoying blueberries with a parent. Special guest star at 13 seconds! 🐿️ Robins are among the 1st to arrive on Nighthawk Hill in Spring & then head upslope. This year, they stayed. 🤷🏻♀️ #bird #birds #chipmunks #nature
Overnight, in #MyWildlife: Hoover visited! Nighthawk Hill is a flourishing edge ecosystem & wildlife corridor, so we get many visitors. Some raise our eyebrows more than others. 👀 Hoover comes around every 2 years(ish), comes up empty-handed & moves along. #bears #nature #wildlife
The United States of America: How it Started vs How it’s Going.
Today, in #MyWildlife: Shhh… Watch a little TreeVee™ with me on Nighthawk Hill. And remember: Your drama, no matter who you are, is no more important than theirs. #nature #birds #chipmunks #wildlife
I bought fixins to make a red, white & blue layered cocktail as our “nod” to the #250th. I’m not a mixologist so it didn’t layer, making the drinks dark purple & unpalatable. TBH, this seems a more appropriate cocktail to mourn what Republicans have done to destroy this great nation. 😭🤦♀️
This is 60. It’s remarkable to be entering my 7th decade! I was born with a malformed heart & at the age 52 my life was saved by a kind stranger via a #hearttransplant. I’m so grateful! Plus, who gets be a rockstar for her 60th birthday? Be a #hero: RegisterMe.org #donatelife
#TransplantGames 5k race final update: 🥇 PR by 00:02:36! 🥇 I was both the oldest & the 1st heart recipient to finish in my age bracket. Those were my goals! 😍 Official: 40:12 (12:57 per mile). I shaved 4:30 off my 5k time since I began training in March! 💪🏼 🏃♀️ 🙌🏻 #hearttransplant #donatelife
#TransplantGames update: I killed. I sang my little miracle heart out on a very difficult, athletic song. But like many great artists, I’m apparently destined to be fully appreciated post-humously. 🤷🏻♀️🤣 Thank you to all who came out to support me— I love you guys! #hearttransplant #donatelife
#TransplantGames Medal update: Team Heart Posse’s* very own Heather & Karyn won the GOLD medal in women’s doubles Cornhole for Team Rocky Mountain! 🥇 CONGRATS, ladies! *We are 5 Denver heart recipients who love to hang out together & cheer each other on! #hearttransplant #donatelife
#TransplantGames update: It’s finally here & I sing tomorrow! 😍🎤🎶 I haven’t performed publicly in 7 years & I’m excited* that *this* is the event that brought me out of retirement. All & any good juju is appreciated! *fight or flight mode is exciting, right? 😬🤣 #hearttransplant #donatelife
#TransplantGames training update: I focus on winning too much, some would say. I’m crazy competitive & sometimes miss the part about how none of this is about winning. Because in the end I’ve already won. 💚 And the word grateful simply doesn’t cut it. 😭 #hearttransplant #donatelife #thisis60
#TransplantGames training update: This week 12,000 Transplant Recipients, Living Donors & Donor Families converge on Denver for the 2026 Transplant Games. I’ve been 5k training for 3 months & the work has paid off! Can’t wait to celebrate with my community! #hearttransplant #donatelife #thisis60
Today, in #MyWildlife: WE HAVE KITS! 🦊 They were here with Lovey & were *very* skittish. The haunches w/white patches near their tails are new to me. They definitely aren’t randos as Thurston & Lovey would run them off this territory. A Nighthawk Hill first! 😍 #foxes #nature #fox #wildlife
