Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children Observers fear the move has compromised evidence of war crimes by Russian officials and will hinder efforts to rescue thousands of missing Ukrainian children.

I've been sharing this every semester for almost ten years. Feeling it right now.

Woke up to a snowstorm. Can't get any work done for staring out the window. This desert girl may never get over watching the snow come down like nothing to it.

Best of luck to everyone submitting NEH grants today!

My house is now a waystation for the Resistance. We have snacks and all the cozy blankets for naps.
