Hey, I know the mid 2000s are slowly leaking back into the cycle of fashion trends, but that didn't mean we had to bring back a matching recession. 🫠

Around 1,000 march in Sackets Harbor to seek return of family taken by ICE An estimated 1,000 people marched through the streets of Sackets Harbor Saturday afternoon to call for the return of a woman and her three children who were taken during an immigration sweep.

There is a letter from the kids' principal circulating that absolutely broke me. These are kids from my home state, these are people doing EVERYTHING right.

This administration is evil.

Bring them all back, you cowards.

Powerful Speeches From Trans Dems Flip 29 Republicans, Anti-Trans Bills Die In Montana Transgender Reps Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell delivered powerful speeches on the Montana House floor on Thursday. Republicans defected en masse to join them in voting against anti-trans bills.

β€œIn a stunning turn, 29 Republicans defected, killing both bills. One Republican even took the floor to deliver a scathing rebuke of the bill’s sponsor.”

We're excited. It's been great down by the waterfront, looking forward to the extension. Feels more lively but way less crowded, which can only help businesses as people relax and spend more time down there.

Inside a historic women’s hockey fight and why it changed PWHL rules: β€˜We were battling out there’ When Jill Saulnier and Tereza VaniΕ‘ovΓ‘ faced off in the PWHL's first fight, the moment went viral.

For hockey, equality and equity in sports looks like a mean right hook! πŸ’πŸ‘Š

Looking forward to more PWHL player participation in this time-honored tradition of the sport. #fightlikeagirl

To be clear, I went and read the Post's own article about this change and that alone was enough to put me off permanently.

"No. This is not comedy. Pay attention."

As if I needed a reason to love Adam Lambert more.

If you have never seen Cabaret, take the time to see one of the film adaptations. It is a critical work for these times.

Omg I need to go back and play this game. I started, played the opening mission, loved it, and then got so busy I had to put it down. You have inspired me, maybe I'll pick it back up...

Working on a story about how federal layoffs have affected Alexandrians. If anyone knows folks from Alexandria who have been laid off and are willing to talk on the record about it, I'd be happy to help tell their story.

Small business wise, there's Red Barn Mercantile on King Street -- I've gotten some fun gifts there for the guys in my life.

Fleet Sink Sirens To Depths Of The PWHL Standings The Boston Fleet sunk the New York Sirens to the depths of the PWHL standings Monday picking up a regulation win on the road.

I can't express to you how much adult responsibility my partner and I are having to cling to looking at her sweet face, knowing that we are planning an out of town wedding and are not in a position to adopt a dog right now and that we really shouldn't reach out and find out more information atm. πŸ‘€πŸ˜…πŸ˜­

You know, a transatlantic voyage to get to my UK honeymoon next year is sounding more and more reasonable.

It really depends on the setting for me. I will always lean toward stealth archer in any situation (in Skyrim it's just inevitable) but in certain settings the idea of melee combat appeals more to me. I love incorporating magical elements too but I rarely go straight mage.
