Also, let's note that I should have asked the SB Nation folks who go to the office more regularly than I do where they moved our seating rather than wandering around for a bit before I found someone to ask.

Oh my Congressman puts out a tweet about all this, sort of saying, "well, I could support it with the right rationale." And then it disappears within 10 minutes.

Three stickers in a row. On the left is a book plate that reads "to Russ! Isla Jewell." In the middle is a stickers that reads "Books & Bewitchment, Romantic AF, Arcadia Falls, Georgia" A squirrel is to the right of AF. The third sticker is a glittery shiny sticker that has Books & Bewitchment and Isla Jewell on it.

I'm wearing a white shirt with a purple design in it. It says Mile High Flyers around an image of a basketball player on a rocket in front of the state of Colorado. The shirt also says A Denver Rockets booster.

A collage of three pictures. On the left is an image go a yellow box that says "The Lay's Challenge from Potato To Door." In the upper right is a view of the inside of the box the chips came in with a paragraph about chips. On the bottom right is an image of the bag of chips, classic-style, upside down.
