A social media graphic featuring a yellow map of the east coast of the United States with the Commonwealth of Virginia raised and in a dark yellow gradient. Above the outline of the Virginia, bold blue text reads, "Vote YES, Virginia!" Below Virginia, text reads, "Polls open until 7pm. IWillVote.com."

VIRGINIA! Vote YES today to stop Trump and MAGA Republicans’ power grab and level the playing field for the 2026 midterms.

Polls close at 7 pm tonight.

Go to IWillVote.com to make your plan to vote.

I walked barefoot on the beach and now my left knee is refusing to talk to me, can I borrow some of your conditioning? 😅

(Seriously that kicks ass and so do you!)

I hadn’t made that connection. Ew.

New addition to the Chattanooga airport: the train horn as the baggage carousel starts up. 😄

@seananmcguire.bsky.social Seanan I love our students and they’re getting ready for an event and they’re all helping each other out and they’re super cute and it’s SO NICE having more wordcount space to enjoy these little slice of life moments 💖

Hey nonny nonny!

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

Fully support all my Magic friends letting their legs out to play in the nice weather 😄 and not JUST because humans are so pretty but I mean that doesn’t hurt

Yay thank you! I will be at your panel on Thursday. 😄

I wish you luck, I suspected this would be just exactly up your alley 😄

Chilly conference rooms would never have occurred to me! Everyone is being so helpful and nice, thanks y’all. 😄

Forecast dipped a bit for the early part of next week and gave me hope, but it’s right back up in the 80s by the time I get there. 😅 Thank you!

And I’ll be MARTA-ing from my sister’s house so extra walking for me. Thank you!

Super helpful, thank you!

Thank you, this is helpful!

ACES friends who have done the IRL conference thing before...I need to pack tomorrow, what do people wear to these things? 😅I've only ever attended the VCONs, and that was all jeans and jammies depending on time of day. Not sure that'll fly here. #ACES2026 #ACESAtlanta

Ugh. I’m sorry you have to deal with this nonsense, what a pain.

She also voices one of the player characters in Guild Wars 2, which happens to be the one I play! Very cool hearing her as the Voice of Me. 😄

Didn’t actually see the hummingbird but very excited to know it was there! 😄

oh NO

A listing from the Merlin birdsong ID app of things it heard on my walk: marsh wren, red-winged blackbird, American coot, American robin, yellow-rumped warbler, and Anna’s hummingbird.

#TenMinMerlin today while doing a park walk in Tacoma. Thanks to @skwinnicki.bsky.social for the idea! 😄

That’s a hell of a cast!

Dr. Robby said “when I was in med school” and everyone of my approximate age said “yes we remember, we were watching then too”

And Noah Wyle wrote that episode so you know that was intentional 😄

Medication is a frackin miracle. “Two weeks on” started Monday morning. Last night I didn’t even think about it until my phone reminder. Cleared up that fast. I am resolved to stay on top of it and hopefully get the bastard knocked down enough that the next “two weeks off” isn’t such a misery.

Like a cat!

"There's no reason in the world that needs to be an en dash. Come on."

(glad nobody is in close proximity, I forgot to use my inside-my-brain voice and the scorn was audible 😅)

“They’ve had enough…so has everyone else” may be the first time I’ve actually agreed with that guy.

Happy Bookday!

Honestly in awe of the training the astronauts must have undergone to not just bust out with THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME every time they’re on mic. You can still tell they’re thinking it. 😄
