our new copywriter apparently lives in Cincy so I of course wondered if you knew her because surely editors and writers all probably know each other, right?
I saw her at the Secret Copywriter and Editor meeting last night.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Downtown Boise is little blue spot in the middle of a sea of red. I made sure to go buy some things from the pop culture gift show that is super LGBTQ+ friendly and involved in the community. I try to make not of businesses where I see a rainbow flag and make sure to spend my money there.

That's a good policy, ND

I feel like I should run amok

Ha! I’ll have to keep that handy. I remembered that I started the day early so I’m going home now, yay

Since my best friend finally pissed me off enough to post the link Ukraine's official donations website as a reply to his mockery of its supporters on facebook, I thought I might as well share it here too in case there's anyone who's interested and hasn't seen it before. Donors can choose whether they give money to defense, humanitarian aid, rebuilding efforts, and I think a couple of other categories:

Thanks Matt!
I am in full indecision paralysis as far as the stock market goes. Part of me feels like I should pull some money out. Maybe build up more of a liquid cushion. My usual approach in bad times is set it and forget it. I don’t think I looked at it once during the prior Orange Times. But that felt qualitatively different.

Same Brenda. But I’m figuring either shit goes so bad that my retirement money is just a pipe dream, or I’ve got long enough that it can bounce back. I hope.

In the same boat, Brenda. It is very challenging to keep to my plan, but my life experience tells me to hold tight. The volatility with TFG topping himself daily with the insanity is heart stopping. I still look, but I have to hang in there and not bail. As much as my portfolio has dipped, it is nothing compared to the billionaire buddies. He is going to start feeling the heat. He'll reverse the tariffs just like he reverses other gross errors. He will declare he won and take them away.
Don't look at the last month, look at the last 10 years. It's going to continue to be a roller coaster.
