THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Army Corps backs out of plan to study lake tap as long-term Mendenhall Valley flood solution Juneau’s City Manager Katie Koester shared the news at a Juneau Assembly committee meeting Monday night. She called the Army Corps’ change of position deeply frustrating.

City officials say the corp’s abrupt change in position comes as a shock, and could derail the city’s timeline to get a long-term solution in place as soon as possible.

Capped off by another joyous skate by Alysa Liu and a final showcase with all the skaters. This has been the most enjoyable layover I’ve ever had. I wish the Olympics were on every time I had to travel. πŸ˜‚

Catching up on the Olympic ice skating Gala while I wait for my next flight, and the pairs skaters from Georgia skating to the Mortal Kombat music is so fun! πŸ˜‚

H.A. Brown Elementary School Mural By Skype a Scientist

A week ago I found out that the grant I was confident would fund our spring mural will not, bc we're 2 blocks too deep into Kensington. This STINKS.

This project rocks bc it's community driven, biodiversity-focused (& more! read on!)

We're raising money to make it happen

Oh - and she won the gold!!! πŸ₯° (I’ve been helping my mom all day and managed to avoid spoilers - watching the prime time coverage now.)

Watching the women’s free skate and crying happy tears for Amber Glenn. What a great routine! I’m so glad that she had a better experience than her last skate.

Watched the replay of the men’s big air final - insanely good skiing! The top three were essentially 3 gold medals, and all the winners were thrilled. It was a pleasure to watch!

As an aside, I love how normal crying is at these Olympics - happy crying, sad crying, men, women, athletes, coaches. Just watching the Olympics makes me cry, so I’m happy the folks actually there can express their emotions freely.

So happy to catch the last round of women’s big air skiing while waiting at the dentist. It’s nice when all three medalists are so joyous and a great run by the Italian skier for the bronze! ❀️

Oh, I'm so sad for the second skating pair from Canada. They had such a nice routine aside from that trip and fall. πŸ’”
