Classic win-win. Either lots of people attend (most likely outcome) or you get to eat as many edge pieces with extra frosting as you want (which should be the case anyway, since you are the reason for the cake!).

If approved, these projects will bring 900 MW to the grid, over $10 million of tax revenue in the first year, and hundreds of union jobs to the county.

Trans people deserve love, care, equity and humanity. That includes trans children who should not be abused. Research shows conversion therapy is harmful in any form and gender affirming care saves lives.

My advisor rescheduled our weekly call Monday…to go to the Women’s game.
