Had a good night sky view of the #MilkyWay out near #Boone #NC. We were treated to some passing #meteors too! #space #astronomy

Wiseman's View Scenic Overlook was not easy to get to, but it was worth it to see this rare geography/old growth forest at Linville Gorge up close.

Meet North Carolina Republicansโ€™ favorite Democrat: Kody Kinsley How a gay, 38-year old Democrat, had managed to forge alliances with conservative Republicans in the legislature to make Medicaid expansion happen.

I thought this was some interesting background on the Medicaid expansion effort in NC:

Many unhealthy & delicious foods were consumed, and I always enjoy the #Winston-Salem skyline views from the ferris wheel at the Carolina Classic Fair. #Fall #Fair #NC

Looks like the annual #Winston-Salem, #NC #LGBTQ Film Festival hosted at #UNCSA is getting underway! Hereโ€™s the lineup:

Another Community Day on the books at Reynolda House Museum! Last year we saw a turnout of around 600 people for this annual festival-like free day at the museum, but this year we more than doubled that with 1268 visitors. #museums #Winston-Salem #NC

Of course I made it worse by going to grad school, and it took more than two decades after I first took out student loans to be student loan debt-free. As someone who previously worked in WFUโ€™s first-gen support office, Iโ€™ve also seen what a difference appropriate financial support can make. #NC

As someone who would have been covered by a program like this back when I was applying to college, I hope this opens doors for many young people in NC going forward. I went to college at an in-state public university with some scholarships, a part-time job, and still ended up with student loan debt.

Just got my COVID & flu shots. Was able to get it without a prescription at Walgreens thanks to an executive order by Governor Josh Stein.

Feels like I got it in under the wire since RFK is considering further restricting access to COVID vaccines. Seems like folks might want to jump on it soon.

Good show. Glad to see it getting some recognition.

Had a fun weekend in #Charlottesville! It was nice to be in a place with mountains, with good #gaming stores (shout out to The End Games, The Forge, & Sabre Games), and with good food like Vu Noodles, Chaps Ice Cream, & of course Bodoโ€™s Bagels. ๐Ÿฅฏ
