I didn’t think it was possible to love Justice Jackson more, but here we are.
No one was supposed to say out loud that the “originalists” on the court are picking and choosing which precedents count. She’s RUINING EVERYTHING. 😍😍
Seriously impressed that you started reading “Markwayne Mullins fingered…” and had the stomach to continue to the end of the sentence.
Real “colorless green ideas sleep furiously” energy.
This would be just as funny tomorrow, and it wouldn’t spoil Wordle for everyone else.
We decided to let our Washington Post subscription lapse, and it feels pretty weird.
But I really can’t see my way to paying them a single cent, and neither can my more-moderate husband.
Ombre French tip feathers? She's a couture bird, for sure
Exactly! I’d love to restore her glory.
If I had a million dollars…
Misha says hi!
I had no idea I knew you in person, that’s so lovely! Look at you, you published a book!
OH MY GOD HIIIIIII!!!!!!
What the hell did I just read.
Oh nooooo
I’ve got two whole backup boxes in my office kitchen.
This cup of tea is going to fix everything that’s wrong with me, I just know it.
But if it falls short, the cookies are there for backup.
I think the last time I really heard you cuss we were in our early 20s. I’m sure you’ve gotten much better at it since then!
This won’t be the first time you’ve won the internet, but.

Apparently Mayor Scott has promised to veto any plan that moves the recycling center to a predominantly Black neighborhood. So maybe they’ll just close it? But everyone loves having it exist...
…Just NITBY.
Props to her zoning prof for an assignment that actually matters. (3/3) #baltimore
She chose a plan to move or close a recycling center in a gentrifying neighborhood. At dinner, she gave us a rundown of all the stakeholders and their opinions.
We were relieved to hear that plans to move hazmat recycling into the flood plain of the Jones Falls have been scrapped. (2/3) #baltimore
My 20yo studies civil engineering technology at community college. As homework, she has to research a local issue and attend a relevant public city meeting.
It’s one of the best school assignments a kid of mine has gotten. (1/3) #baltimore
What a treat! Thank you!
(And of COURSE it’s a Yuletide.)
First New Cocktail Experiment in a long while, because on a whim I bought my first bottle of Cynar.
This is an Italian Gentleman: bourbon, Aperol, and Cynar with an orange twist. It’s complex, boozy, and delicious.

She's running to replace Dick Durbin and, uh, to say this is a welcome change in tone and attitude would be a hell of an understatement.
Final score 169-110. Imagine how much better I could have done if I had followed his advice. 🙄
It’s fun being a woman playing a complex strategy board game online.
I’m currently beating a guy by 40 points and he just corrected one of my gameplay decisions. Kept up with more “helpful advice” after I brushed it off, too.
I’m just saying, when he described this as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a choral singer” I didn’t realize that was because learning it might kill me.
