Completely failed at cooking dinner tonight. I made traditional carbonara, and I made the water to cook the pasta salty like the sea. And then I used said salt water in the sauce, and it made everything way too salty! So lesson learned maybe only mildly salt water is what they mean when they say salty like the sea.
Part of not complying in advance is not letting them control the vision of the future. Dream of the future you want. Fight for the future you want. Believe in the future you want. Share that dream. Bring people together to fight for that dream.
Are you a Libby addict like me? The Weber County Library uses the Beehive Library Consortium for their Libby access. Do you know where they get the money to access this Libby Library? From the grants provided by IMLS that was cut. Want to keep your Libby access and protect your library? Contact your politicians and ask them how they are going to protect our libraries!

Utah friends, if you are mowing your lawn today, you are killing important pollinators and insects for growing veggies and flowers this spring and summer. You are hurting our native bees. Please don’t mow or clean up your yard until it is consistently 50 degrees at night. If you need an outdoor chore, maybe plant some cold weather crops directly instead
I’ve used up all my holds on my Weber County Library Libby account and I’ve got 35+ tagged for future holds when I’ve got space again. But I couldn’t wait and I want access to even more books, so today I got a Salt Lake City Public Library card too ($80 per year for non-resident). My recommendation to you - use your library and make the most out of it!

Today, the VA’s ID.me login to MyHealthyVet is not working. The message to call the Crisis Line if in mental crisis is no longer playing when calling the Veterans Center. And when I try to schedule an appointment with the Sleep Medicine Department, I’m transferred to Primary Care. Thanks Trump and Musk for doing such a great job caring for our Veterans.

There is something being missed when saying new employees on probation are being fired from the government. Yes, it cruelly includes all people who are in their first year of working with the government and are working hard to build their career. But it also includes long term employees who have switched positions, say for a promotion, within the last year to grow their career. This includes members of our Ogden Community being devastated by this unconstitutional termination.

I’m wearing my loudest and brightest clothes tomorrow. I’m not wearing black for mourning. I’m here. I’m ready to resist. I’m ready to hope in the uncertainty of the unknown, because the future is not set. Yes, these are not going to be easy times. Evil things and hateful things are happening. But my first act of resistance is to not let them steal my joy, to not let them steal my light.
