I think it's fascinating what it tells us that there is this much discourse on either side WHEN THERE WAS A SCHOOL SHOOTING THE SAME DAY.
I don't care what side of politics you are on. Charlie Kirk shouldn't be in the news this much. It happened. Move on, there is stuff to do.

"Why did you make a discord server for the Pittsburgh runners? It's just one city"
This is why.
That is a whole lot of folks for "just one city" especially since many runners in nearby cities are close enough to us to drive over for events.

My baby made his first social media!
My mommy's wanted people to hear my adventures, so they said I could have a bluesky, but it had to be supervised. Today is going to be fun because Uncle Stump took me to Anthrocon before we fly to GDQ!

Update because a couple people have asked:
I am ok. Fell off the face of the earth doing self care and dealing with real life. Things are rough and not okay, but I'm doing my best to survive. I'll be more active again soon hopefully.

Well, suddenly, I once again have plenty of time to volunteer for online events now that I have been laid off. So if anyone knows a marathon that need people (Or know of a Cybersecurity role I can apply to for work) let me know.
