I just found Amanda's video. The votes are encouraging no matter what decision the court case(s) bring

It's official?

I diligently looked out my window, trying to figure out which frens I was flying over, but did not have a flight tracker map and just assumed everything was South Dakota until it was clearly Colorado.

So...yes?

As someone who is returning to work after a long weekend away.....ugh

Good morning, beloved.

Peace is the produce of persistence.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Happy birthday! Around 40 I started doing an "exit" interview with the outgoing year in my journal. It helped me to put some perspective on what was good AND not so good. It's been cathartic to be able to say goodbye to hard years. I take the lessons from them, but leave the time behind me.

Not that authentic

I am having an ✨️authentic✨️ Midwest experience tysm

There was a watch, and a LOT of lightning last night, but I think nothing else. The place we're staying doesn't have a lot of windows, but we're on the 16th floor and we were strategizing about what area would be safest.

Yesterday was definitely heckin' wimdy, with the storm rolling in

But to be clear, it's been windy the whole time.

Yes! According to our boat tour guide. It was a derogatory term from New Yorkers when Chicago and started to assert political candidates. Windbags make for a windy city.

I'm in Chicago! With @riahthelee.bsky.social! We were on a boat!

a woman is saying i 'm sorry , what ? ALT: a woman is saying i 'm sorry , what ?

Me, yesterday, in a boat in the wind on the river, learning that the physical wind is not why Chicago is called the Windy City

Thank you!!

Thank you, Gwen!

Thank you!

Thanks, Tiffany!

Thaaaaaaa-aa-aa-aaaank youuuuuuuuuu

What about his streetside corn?

But not at forming blockades. I thought he was good at hedges of protection...

I've shared my birthday with this man for the last 48 years. Happy ONE HUNDREDTH birthday to my grandfather, Dan. We're so grateful to have had so much time with you.

Happy birthday to Roo! This is a great day to be born!

Thank you, Nick! I'm so grateful for you.

Thank you, Greg!

As one does

So THIS is too far? The immorality, the obsession with wealth, threatening genocide and war… that was fine but this was too far??

I cannot take them seriously. Besides, next week that line will be moved 5 feet.

No, but we can blame Franklin Graham

Lindsay, I'd forgotten Tom Ascol existed

I've already spilled coffee on myself. Super start to the last day of the age of 47 for me.
