"are you a boy or a girl?"
i am smelling like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed.
i am smelling like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed.
"are you a boy or a girl?"
i am the scent of burning leaves on an autumn night. i am the wind shaking bare trees. i am the shadows cast by moonlight. i am the raven's cry. i am the rose and i am its thorns. i shake the very earth with my footfalls.

Hand made cookies are nice and I enjoy them as much as the next guy, but you aren’t going to make enough cookies for enough people at a reasonable price unless you use some cookie cutters.
If you want a hand made cookie, buy one, no one is stopping you, just don’t complain about Oreos existing

this is what democrats folded for, and it ain’t paying the bills
Tomorrow, the Senate will vote to either save the ACA tax credits or not.
This will determine if premiums will skyrocket for millions of Americans.
Pay attention to see if Republicans vote to help or hurt regular Americans.

switch out "tech" for "economists" here and it still works perfectly
If you want people to stop being so mean about tech, have you tried not crying like a baby about it and taking it on the chin given that most people actually do have a good reason to hate what is happening even when their model of its machinations and integration into the macroeconomy is inaccurate

steam heated waiting benches! hear that, New York and DC?
Real transit stations are great places. My brother helps maintain this one in Utica, NY.
It sees 8 daily Amtrak trains, plus Adirondack R.R. heritage trains. It has a barber shop, a restaurant, steam-heated waiting benches, office spaces, a gift shop, & hosts the weekly farmer's market year-round.

My dad was not special – HS grad who owned a trucking company. People disappear all the time. But I could not handle the loss. Live or die: It was on me to figure it out
Doing so pushed me to develop skills—writing, grit. To reluctantly become an investigator, to decide if I even wanted to survive

My dad disappeared from his Baltimore trucking company when I was a kid. 20 years later, I went looking for answers.
I did it to survive.
In telling this story, I hope in some way to help others do the same.
