Love the box! I would have bought it, too.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

So pretty, brenda! Not a surprise that you couldn't resist!

brenda, looks lovely!
I also am working my way up to calling my reps, but I did send an email to the only Republican who theoretically represents me, and actually got a reply today directly addressing my concern! I mean, he said Musk has a high security clearance, the president can appoint whomever he wants, and anyway our private data is totally safe! But it looks like he's also heard enough concern about it to have a form letter ready for this particular concern. I think that's a good sign.
My mission today is to work myself up enough about USAID to call.
My current employer is one of those big-endowment schools, but therefore also one with fairly conservative rich donors, so I have been wondering how this was going to play out, but the Arts & Sciences dean yesterday addressed fac&staff and said good things. Including that people whose grants are affected will be supported. Good intentions and all that, of course... but I was cheered.
ETA: I've had Chappell Roan songs stuck in my head for DAYS and then went and listened to one Sabrina Carpenter song and now THAT's stuck. Seriously. Brain. The lyrics are punchy, but there's a limit.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I just got a notification of an offer to change my next nephology appointment, from April 3rd to...11 minutes from now.
Funny! But no, thanks.

Coming out of colonoscopy. All good. Anesthesia is awesome! Feeling fab. Thought I'd share.

Okay, there are Nazis dressed in all black waving Nazi flags on an overpass of I-75 about 12 miles north of downtown Cincinnati (so, well within what's considered "greater Cincinnati"). (Hil, flea, and anyone else who knows or cares about Cincinnati neighborhoods, it's Lockland/Evendale.)
God damn.

But have you heard Sabrina Carpenter covering Chappell Roan? [link]

Ohio is so different now from when I went to college there. It used to be such a swing state with a strong union base. Now, it's way more Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia. It's dead red and has gotten to be such a hotbed for Aryan/Nazi activity.
One of the reasons I never considered having Matilda apply to Kenyon.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
it looks like he's also heard enough concern about it to have a form letter ready for this particular concern. I think that's a good sign.
You don't write a form letter you don't expect to need.
It's hecking wimdy here. I need to get some trees trimmed.
Pretty box.

I did see video on BlueSky of a group of local people (ie, not Nazis) who got one of the flags away from the Nazis and burned it. I don't hate that.
