Happy Caturday from our sneaky bby.

I’m trying to find the unedited version of a photo to fix it up to my current editing practices and um, it’s been a trip. It’s nice to see the way I organize my photo storage is maybe like 10% less chaotic now than a decade ago. 🙃

Definitely some looming action over northwest Lincoln. #newx

Said goodbye to my fallopian tubes today! 👋

Yesterday as my partner and I prepared to leave the surgical center, the nurse advised that I don’t do any heavy lifting for two weeks. Me: How much is heavy? Like is a 15lb cat okay? Nurse: You have a 15lb cat?!

My cat meowed continuously for like five minutes and then loudly puked off-screen during a zoom meeting, so that’s how my Tuesday is going.

One of the poll workers told me my eyes were sparkling above my mask as I waited to pick up my ballot. I’ll take that as a complement. 🥰 And yes, I was that excited to vote. This primary is important, folks! #vote

Hey! Heads up if you meet some of these folks around Omaha and Lincoln - which is (so far) where I’ve encountered these petitioners.

I have two weeks until my first solo photography show. It’s at a bar! And the excellent team at Pour is letting me choose a signature drink. 🥃 The show will be up the entire month of June — so if you can’t make it June 3, don’t worry!

This storm moves quickly - I shot this maybe a half hour ago and you could just begin to feel the temp dropping and the wind strengthening. We’ve now got strong wind, rain and bursts of lightning every few seconds.

Friends in Lincoln, Bellevue, Seward, Columbus, Norfolk - we’re in this gerrymandered business so get out and vote for Patty Pansing Brooks!

My cat is so cruel. Each morning right as I hit my alarm, he starts getting extra snuggly. Like he gets up from wherever he’s sleeping on our bed to hunker in next to me, and then gently places a paw on my body if I try to get up. 😭 mornings are already difficult, my guy.

Aaaaaaand covid. Again.

It was an honor and privilege to speak in front of the NE HHS committee yesterday in opposition to LB626. This bill is dangerous and will have terrible consequences for the women of our state. Call your senators and let them know how you feel. #AbortionIsHealthcare #NEleg.

BIG DEAL: LB 626, Nebraska's proposed 6-week abortion ban, is dead. A vote to end debate failed by a single vote. Seems largely thanks to Omaha Sen. Merv Riepe (R). He intro'd an amendment to instead tighten current law to 12 wks post-fertilization ban. His vote: "not voting."

What the actual heck.
