WFP is an incredible organization made up of incredible people. It has felt like home since I joined, including when I was on the West Coast and now here back at home. Every chapter seems to pull in the best people fighting for justice in all the right ways.

If you’re in NY, you absolutely should follow and join the efforts of the @nywfp.bsky.social. They are ACTIVE and ON THE BALL and a big part (along with many other parts) of how Mamdani won.

Slowed down by a bunch of kick only drills BUT my coach finally figured out why my kick was so slow: I was keeping my legs too straight. Queer legs only at the gay swim team!

I keep having really vivid dreams and while some of last night’s were way too spicy to share publicly I will say there was a bit where I kept running into Daniel Radcliffe in the checkout line at the drugstore, where he would make a comment about needing to feed his cats
