Here’s a form we were given at the pediatrician today.

Parenting in 2025.

Emergency alert on phone detailing a flash flood emergency

We got a wild storm here in Montgomery County, MD over the weekend - 5 inches of water and a 10 foot local creek rise in 30 minutes. We were on our way to a friend’s house and turned around bc it was coming down so fast.

Our climate is already changed.

Happy to add to my collection of @davidlitt.bsky.social books today with the arrival of It’s Only Drowning. Looking forward to reading! (Also hi @alivitali.bsky.social on my shelf, rightfully among the greats!)

❤️ literally from age 5!

One thing that makes it more pleasant to have a baby who wakes up at 5am is getting to tune into childhood friend and brilliant reporter @alivitali.bsky.social on @msnbc.com. Endlessly proud and grateful to learn from you!

Opinion | Colleges Are Under Attack. They Can Fight Back. This is a moment to trumpet the strengths of higher education and address its weaknesses.

Proud of Michael Roth, president of my Alma mater, Wesleyan University, for being one of the only university presidents to speak up. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/o...

You know you have a newborn when a trip to the dentist feels like a legit break 😬

Always proud to be a @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social alum. Thank you for your leadership President Roth!

Tonight felt like the right night to start the @fallout.bethesdastudios.com TV series. Dark times call for dark humor.

We are heartbroken to lose the indomitable force that is our former president, Cecile Richards. In her 12 devoted years of service to our org, she brought us to new heights in our health care, education, and advocacy work.

She was the embodiment of “Care, no matter what.”

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

the climate crisis is here, all around us

Life with a toddler

Just finished Will & Harper - highly recommend, especially in this moment.

Saw #Wicked over Thanksgiving and loved it. Can confirm for all other #pregnant Wicked-goers that (a) tissues are crucial - the crying starts around 5 minutes in, and (b) the best time in the nearly 3 hours to take a bathroom break is when Jeff Goldblum starts tap dancing.

Dr. Wendy Osefo Named Distinguished Professor At Wesleyan University Dr. Wendy Osefo exclusively shared her exciting new appointment as a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Wesleyan University.

Apparently Wesleyan is stepping up its #RealHousewives game overall: www.blackenterprise.com/wendy-osefo-...
Love to see it!

Big debut for Bozoma Saint John on #RHOBH - pretty sure she’s the first @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social alum on a Real Housewives franchise! ❤️🖤

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.

Neither do you.

Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

😭

Very happy to see @capitalweather.bsky.social is on Bluesky - one of the few reasons I check Twitter these days

Side note - can’t stop calling the show “Le Dip” (cc @popville.bsky.social)

Watched both The Diplomat and RHOSLC tonight and enjoyed equally. It’s called range, sweetie 😘

Hi blueskyverse 👋🏻 New here, not sure how active I’ll get but happy to check it out. Hoping to catch some glimmers of old Twitter. Thx to @fxshaw.com for the rec to join!

the arc of the moral universe could be a bit shorter imo
