Wellman unseats Wagner, giving Missouri a representative House delegation. MO Amendment 3 (anti-bodily-autonomy) and Prop A (gerrymandering) lose, while Amendment 6 (defend democracy) wins. Dems hold the House and Senate. This is a huge and great day for America.04 Nov 2026 04:37 +0000at://did:plc:o7lhdvg6hkkrrpab4sbe2qdy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzhjr5aphc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/lmfinney.bsky.social/post/3mzhdz4ivac2uDemocrats are winning Senate seats in TX and KS by significantly higher margins than in ME and OH (at least with the partial results).

We have a steady influx, but there are gaps for reading. I think a feminist history of women who stand up for themselves and for control of their own bodies is a good accompaniment for Election Day. #NoOn3Missouri03 Nov 2026 15:14 +0000at://did:plc:o7lhdvg6hkkrrpab4sbe2qdy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzg4wl5xgc25https://bsky.app/profile/lmfinney.bsky.social/post/3mzfszrnb5s2wWe're working the polls again! Today's the day to vote. I can't express my opinions at the polling place, but it's okay on social media.

It was a coach-timed alternate race at Districts, and he got a 17:27, which is right at his season PR. It's been four good years, and he'll cheer on his teammates next week at State!31 Oct 2026 17:52 +0000at://did:plc:o7lhdvg6hkkrrpab4sbe2qdy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mz6ud4i4n22shttps://bsky.app/profile/lmfinney.bsky.social/post/3mz4zekcwqc25In Patrick Stewart's memory, we're about to watch "Jeffrey". I saw it in theaters in 1995, but my wife never has. I remember only a couple scenes and lines. How did it age?31 Oct 2026 00:17 +0000at://did:plc:o7lhdvg6hkkrrpab4sbe2qdy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mz4zekcwqc25https://bsky.app/profile/lmfinney.bsky.social/post/3mz232q5edk2vI was a fan of Patrick Stewart from ST:NG like every other nerd, but I don't think I have anything original to say. I'm sorry for those close to him, like @wilwheaton.net and those whose Humanism was influenced by him, like @croftspeaks.bsky.social. #AdAstra https://static.klipy.com/ii/d7aec6f6f171607374b2065c836f92f4/da/e5/uJi4Da05.gif?hh=368&ww=498&mp4=IaK6Lss7eo0tYdksa0&webm=wEkU3NWzOVdBSs29 Oct 2026 20:09 +0000at://did:plc:o7lhdvg6hkkrrpab4sbe2qdy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mz232q5edk2v
