My family looks forward to the Boulevard Bolt every year. But it’s not the only opportunities to support Room in the Inn! See: www.roomintheinn.org
Today I did a "transit speedrun" of the WeGo frequent service network! Why? Why not! I had to fully cover all 8 routes from start to end or vice versa, and make some tight connections! I documented everything here on Bluesky across all eight hours, but here's the condensed collage:
I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
This is outrageous.
Lots of bad stuff happening right now (#understatement) but at least I encountered one bright spot in the grocery store parking lot today.
Y’all, I don’t want to brag, but I just went to the store to buy one thing…and I only bought the one thing. #unprecedented
Totally agree.
Why is cross country season the hottest season of the year?

Mario Cart tourney at my house tonight. I am so, so bad at this game. But I love the family time—and the mutual taunting.
#PSA: Ticks are not insects, they're parasitic arachnids. Regular insect repellents don’t work on ticks, you have to use permethrin.

It’s a long story, but the short version is that my son’s robotics coach somehow wound up with 10 electric guitars, and now my son has one. I’m listening through his closed bedroom door to him experimenting with it.

The costs keep adding up even if you’re not tracking it.
Recommendations for a portable charger/charging bank for an iPhone 15 that’s not too heavy?
I’m thinking that if pay good money to send your kid to private school, instead of opting for (a perfectly fine) public school, you should perhaps reconsider posting a GoFundMe to solicit donations for your kid to attend a $$$ summer program at a Big Name University.

thank you! He ran his first half marathon last year at 50. His goal is to finish slightly faster this year. I told him to please remember that he is 51. 😜
My 51-year-old husband is running a half-marathon tomorrow and I am so proud of him. I, the slacker half of our marriage, will be sleeping in.
So perhaps not a good situation to be in when certain leaders are thinking about offering to pay women to have more babies.
Ah, Easter Sunday. The day when people I’ve never seen before come out of the woodwork to come to church and get there early to save all the seats so I have nowhere to sit.
