also i always overestimate how much time it takes to do stuff, i fully expected it was going to take like 3-4 hours to write 600-800 words even though i know i'm a pretty fast writer

I'm Texan and I *really* want him to be my senator.
Ok this is not a drill: voting has started in the TX 2026 primary elections

I know the world is nuts right now, but you know what, there is some good news, too.
So I'm in an online community that raised money to open the Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone, in west Africa, which among other things has the nation's first ever NICU(!). The Center opened recently and I'm happy to report that the first baby was delivered there today, a girl.

I have not met you before but it’s an instant follow for me
I wanna go to bug camp...

the Washington Post layoffs are awful in every regard. I am under no pretense that Trump-glazing collateral damage was intended as an intelligent biz decision. However, I want to address closing its sports desk.
If you want to do journalism that gets eyeballs, sports is the LAST desk to close.
An 11-year-old girl from Columbia Heights remains in ICE detention at the Dilley, Texas facility — where measles cases have been reported — sparking concern among family, community members and advocates.
happy birthday--may your Jesus Year be a lot less, um, dramatic than his was
