Most School Spirited, class of 90. Most likely to call into a public radio show, now. Massage therapist, nationally syndicated (like Garfield) freelance writer. Voice-text lover, eating-disorder wrangler, frequent bio updater and excellent eavesdropper.
Community center vibes for life.

Good morning from my sister’s place in southern Indiana. Upon landing at Muhammad Ali International airport yesterday, the first thing I noticed was a prominent display for Black pioneers in aviation.
The second thing was RESIST spray painted on a billboard with Ali’s shadow. #resist #blackhistory

Excellent reporting and graphics by NY Times illustrating the immediate effect of Trump’s halting U.S.A.I.D. The entire article by Jeffrey Gettlema lays out how intricate these programs are to America’s global, safety and role as a humane nation.

Needed some good energy today and found it at the National Zoo! Great reminder in my favorite part of town of why I love this city. So much diversity and love. After living here 25 years, i finally saw 🐼 pandas. The joy and awe of the crowd — which can be heard in the video — were quite soothing.

new colleague got me a panda for helping her out. That’s what we’re for, right. More softness toward our new neighbors, pls and thank you.

And selfies too? Bit no mirror selfies (for me). That was my IG downfall.
