8 years ago this kid spent 5 weeks @CHLA due to a traumatic injury. Excellent care left her wanting to be a doctor when she was discharged. Today she will be speaking about that experience at her first medical conference. With @sleighcastle.bsky.social
Today I got distracted and instead of giving my son his ADHD medication, I swallowed it thinking it was my iron pill.
At a bike auction. So far this surf board has commanded the highest bid.
Re-upping for the post holiday crowd. I got interviewed about the girls’ father.
Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · last mo.New podcast ep! Definitely listen to this interview with Georgene Smith Goodin. She and her spouse adopted three girls, became friends with the girls’ biological dad, who was undocumented and incarcerated. Then he finished his sentence a few days into Trump 2.0. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...
Oh look, I got interviewed.

I have a piece in Little Something Press's latest issue and WOW! It is so nice to receive a magazine that is 1) Hand-sewn together and 2) gift-wrapped with a note when it comes in your mailbox. If you aren't familiar with this small press, you can check them out here: littlesomethingspress.com
Somehow I completely forgot to post that I have a new story out @pictura.bsky.social that was created in the wonderful @smokelong.bsky.social workshop. This is what having kids with a looming #schoolstrike does to my brain. picturajournal.com/issue-six/ge... #flashfiction #writesky

@friedman.house.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Would LOVE to see your names on this list.
Andrew Solender@andrewsolender.bsky.social · 4mo agoBy my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran. More here: www.axios.com/2026/04/07/t...
An injured wild goose is hanging out in our yard.
Before we draft, might I suggest sending the domestic military force we’re already spending billions on recruiting, arming, and “training.” Let’s see how long ICE lasts in the desert.
OMG. Kristi Noem is meeting with law enforement LIVE on CSPAN and has NO idea she was fired 45 minutes ago.
Good and Pretti's murderers were well-trained, long-employed CPB agents. Training & unmasking are not enough. No $ for DHS until ALL CPB agents are removed from the interior and restationed at the border. Impeach Noem. @friedman.house.gov thanks for your efforts. #AbolishICE #ReimagineImmigration
Great start @friedman.house.gov . These are the bare minimum requirements to find DHS. Even better would be total abolition of ICE and reimagining immigration policy. #AbolishICE
During today's strike, contact your Senators. The Senate plans to extend DHS funding for 2 weeks to negotiate new "guardrails" for ICE. ICE has no respect for the law. They murder people with countless witnesses & defy 100's of court orders. The only way to contain them is to #abolishIce.
@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Please pass the 5 appropriations but not the two week extension for DHS. We must #abolishICE and not give it another penny.
@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov this is unacceptable. Convince leadership to #abolishICE or get new leadership. Anything but a complete dismantling of these thugs is a betrayal the American public will NOT forgive.
Georgene Smith Goodin@gsmithgoodin.bsky.social · 6mo ago@schumer.senate.gov no, no and no. we must crush ICE while we have the upper hand. Polls show the moderate position is to #abolishICE. This administration has zero respect for the law and no amount of “reform” will be effective. Use your power NOW.

Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social · 6mo agoChuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown: 1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants 2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents 3. No more masks & require bodycams There are *already* standards on much of this. The issue is DHS isn't following them!
