Morning routine: eat cereal, open @nytimes.com. If I manage to tap Games before a headline catches my eye, all good. If not, finish cereal and then go lay down in a dark room.

New York Times headline, says Harvard is considering paying $500 million to resolve Trump dispute

I live about an hour away, I feel like I should be holding a sign in Harvard Square or something… #Harvard

Well done

I was there and I plan to go back! I hear they are doing it every Saturday. ❤️

From smoking bans to vaccine access, I make things happen.

I lead with heart and grit. And, I am ready to fight for democracy.

Who’s hiring?

It was so much fun, and so good to see that people care! I was there with my sign.

It was great! Good crowd, lots of energy. ❤️✊

Tuesday’s on the phone to me.

I’m guessing there are ducks

Going to Boston on Saturday, what should I put on my sign?

Strands NY times game, GUMLINE is selected

That’s a team, right?

A dozen hopping toads could be warty fun,
But who would say, “Oh, by the way
I would like forty-one.”

When sticking things together, you can use wet paste.
But if you’re out, I have no doubt
That you could use pet waste.

If you like speculative alien biology, it’s definitely worth watching, it’s on Netflix. ❤️

Does this count?

Do you, like me, write code for a living? How long do you think that’s going to be a thing? I’ve heard a year or two and I think that’s probably true. So… what next?

I put my heart in a can
and I sent it to you
when you opened it up
well I guess it was true
that it wasn’t that fresh
it wasn’t that tender
and though it isn’t the heart
of a fearless defender
what could I do
it’s the way you would take it
so throw it on ice
and try not to break it

If turkeys had their own olympic, it would include flying, and it would be much like olympic swimming for humans.

So good! youtu.be/AgzzJ-eV8JY?...

I’m giving blanket permission, there’s no need to dress up for my funeral. (but I feel fine at the moment)

Donald Trump is, and will always be, a joke. It’s blindingly obvious that he is a narcissistic man-child who needs constant validation. You can absolutely take him seriously as a threat, but no matter how bad it gets, never take him seriously as a human being. He doesn’t deserve it.

When you don’t know what time it is, it’s usually best to answer “the afternoon”.

I’m so excited that we’ve already raised $375 for The Mooncatcher Project’s work in #Malawi. We’re dancing with some of the girls on Zoom this Friday! shakeit.so/events/ #Mooncatcher #Dance #WomensHealth

I am! But getting fired for sucking toes would be a story, I figure.

Indeed @nytimes.com, on one side is outrage, and on the other is Mayor Amer Ghalib of Hamtramck, Mich. What a scoop.

I’m toe sucking fired. I mean…

“Gaza is not a place for people to be living.” Good lord. 2 million people. Yeah, sorry about your home, but you should really leave, it’s just not safe here.

That doesn’t mean it’s good or bad. That doesn’t mean it’s not over-hyped, or that we’re not in a bubble. But whenever I hear someone dismiss it as “autocomplete on steroids” I just have to roll my eyes.
