Oh nooooo. And that comes with the added knowledge that you’ll probably be catching that cold next too. 🤧

Also, it’s a core responsibility of the Secretary of State to effectively communicate about local elections.

If so many of his constituents are confused *on Election Day* about what is and isn’t on the ballot, that’s his failing. Not sure I’d be advertising my incompetence so widely if I was him.

The theme of daring ourselves to not close our eyes to state-sanctioned political violence when it’s so tempting to escape into apolitical beauty felt… VERY on the nose for our current moment.

I winced at “The more you face reality / The more you scar” because I can’t say I don’t relate sometimes.

AND we have mosquitoes now. 🦟😤😭

Is that what now counts as a win? 😬😆

…and I was just reminded that we are age peers and both from Cleveland. I’ve talked about (after a deep sigh) that game/series/season so much in the last week!

Yes!! Absolutely taking the small wins, regardless of how long they last.

I was having lunch by campus today and if things had gone another way… I’d feel obligated to walk over and start yelling at everyone.

Hah! Well, know thyself. 😝😉

Doesn’t that mean it IS generational, but not age-based? 🤔

More fuel for that fire: I don’t even think about carrying water, and the kids don’t even think about omitting it. The air we breathe… is different!

I assume something like this.

PS anyone who knows me and is like, “uhhh, you don’t seem to procrastinate or drop the ball a lot?” THANK YOU, that is all the internal work I do to trick myself into just doing my shit. None of which seems to immediately work for a 10-year-old. 😆

Well, apparently, it’s them!
