I am fascinated that traffic on the Key Bridge in D.C. is this bad on a random Wednesday in July.

It’s amazing how one early 3-mile morning run set up my day. I really need to do that like, er, every day.

People voted for this. It’s truly frightening.

Two workouts, including a run and a strength session, have me feeling super focused. It also helps it was a pretty productive work day here in entrepreneur land.

Now for homemade GF pizza. #pizza

Amazing job!

Has anyone else been listening to Doechii’s “Anxiety” on repeat?

On Friday, Doechii dropped a site called “Anxiety is Watching Me,” “a resource hub for people navigating anxiety.”

It’s no wonder she was honored as the Billboard Woman of the Year.

Anyone got tips for doing a full Meta detox? I’m considering shutting everything down and going full-on here and Mastodon.

Military was instructed to search keywords including ‘first’ and ‘history’ during rushed purge of Pentagon websites | CNN Politics Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s February memo ordering all diversity, equity and inclusion-related content to be removed from Pentagon websites was so vague that military units were instructed to ...

This is the weirdest time in history to be a word person.

Now is time for the content strategists to take over before the orcs wreak any more havoc.

Touring Kennedy Center, Trump Mused on His Childhood ‘Aptitude for Music’ (Gift Article) The president, who recently took over Washington’s major performing arts center, reportedly said that he had not been encouraged to develop his musical talents.

Reminds me of Lady Catherine de Bourgh from “Pride and Prejudice”: "If I had ever learned, I should have been a great proficient.”

Austen identifies the idiots every time.

What is the next date for the nationwide protest again? Would love details @altnps.bsky.social

Rewatching “Allo Allo.”

Sometimes you just need the sheer absurdity of British humour.

The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump (Gift Article) Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

Among a list of “woke” terms currently being purged from federal websites is “women.”

So half the population is “woke” just by our very existence?!?

Oh the word “immigrants” also is gone.

So, the U.S. officially has no way of making new people.

Happy to follow!

Just almost walked into @lululemonus.bsky.social but the store merchandising was so blah for this fashion strategist that I couldn’t. It’s like they’ve given up. Alo Yoga for the win with its minimalist retail footprint. #fashion

Leaning into the dystopian feeling today by listening to the very excellent soundtrack from Wim Wenders’ “Until the End of the World.” Not sure it helps my general malaise but it’s good #music anyway.

I just saw an elderly woman with jet black hair, white patent ankle boots, and an oversized electric blue faux fur coat.

I spent like 12 hours completely revamping our company website yesterday. The whole “practice what you preach” is key since I’m a content strategist who works heavily on digital transformation.

What Monday self care looks like.

A very necessary 4 miler in the sunshine.

I’m soaking up as much of this spring like weather as possible.

#running

It’s really a combat sport so that’s fair

Thank you! And that’s what I love about the running community!

Showing up for myself and my family and not giving into all the stress and uncertainty feels like a small bit of resistance by itself.

4.5 miles of Sunday sunshine

All I can say about the current political landscape is that it’s had a positive impact on my running and fitness habit. I started running in 2017 after the Women’s March and am right back at all the workouts. It is literally the only stress reliever I have outside of work and writing.

I love seeing this type of pushback! More science, less marketing nonsense.

Count me in for the global content strategy. I’m conveniently placed in the DMV.

3 very cold but very necessary miles for my mental health

I don’t mean to victim shame. Quite the contrary. I just feel so powerless and honestly don’t know what I should do, either!

Watching White Lotus season 3 and it’s the dark humor I needed right now.

It’s all I’ve got. I think I’m about to channel your love of Peloton as much as I can. Now that I’ve gotten rid of this poltergeist in my head.
