Local friends: there is an upcoming BOE vote in Penfield that is going to be close and there is a grassroots request to mobilize voters to combat the rampant racism and bigotry some of the candidates represent. Attached is the endorsements from the Penfield Antiracist Alliance. Please share.
PARA Penfield AntiRacist Alliance ... Apr 22 PENFIELD-Our kids are watching. Our values are on the ballot. After tonight's "Meet the Candidates" event, the Penfield AntiRacist Alliance is proud to voice our full support for Dr. Scott Wilson, Dr. Emily Roberts, and Susan Gilbert-Collins for Penfield Board of Education. These candidates brought clarity, compassion, and courage to the conversation-exactly what our district needs right now. They understand that academic excellence and inclusive schools go hand in hand. They value every student, and they're ready to listen, learn, and lead with integrity. Dr. Scott Wilson is a respected family physician who brings a wealth of experience working with kids of all ages and stages. He understands what children need to thrive-not just academically, but physically, emotionally, and developmentally. His calm, grounded leadership and health-informed perspective are exactly what Penfield needs. Susan Gilbert-Collins is a professional writer and standardized test question creator-which means she knows how our students are being measured, and more importantly, how to advocate for fair and effective systems. She's a thoughtful communicator and bridge-builder who brings curiosity and clarity to every conversation. Dr. Emily Roberts is an experienced Board of Education member whose thoughtful, intentional leadership has already made a positive impact. She brings both deep knowledge and lived experience to the table, with a steady hand and a commitment to equity and excellence for all students. This election is not about politics. It's about people-our students, our teachers, our community. Vote for leaders who believe in facts over fear, inclusion over division, and progress over performative outrage. Vote Scott Wilson for Penfield Board of Education Emily Roberts for Penfield Board of Education Susan Gilbert-Collins for Penfield Board of Education for a Penfield that lives up to its promise. In solidarity, Penfield AntiRacist Alliance A photo of 3 yard signs on green grass, they read as follows from top to bottom: "DR. EMILY ROBERTS" "Board of Education Susan Gilbert-Collins" "BOARD OF EDUCATION Dr. Scott Wilson TRUSTED VOICE FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE"

Our little disabled cat has to be in diapers, for now, and I can attest that diapering a 7lb disabled cat is much more difficult than a human child ever was. Claws and paws friends.
Jett, an all black Devon Rex cax, curled up asleep on a pillow, his head stuffed into his tail. A very small cat diaper with a red and denim blue gingham check pattern can be seen on him.

dragon encyclopedia The Great Hexapoda Encyclopedia beetle dragon An omnivorous terrestrial dragon that lives in tropical regions and prefers local fruits. They communicate by fighting with the same species or closely related species, and have horns formed from the sea bream on their heads and necks. It engages in fierce combat using large arms that have evolved from its wings. His large arms are particularly powerful, allowing him to lift and hold opponents of the same build. It has a relatively gentle personality, but is powerful, so do not get close.

Local reddit never disappoints
Screenshot from reddit with text reading as follows: r/Rochester u/Friendly_Estimate744. 1d Missed Connections 4/18 Fun to the driver on Five Mile Line Road this morning at 8:34 AM eating a bowl of cereal while operating a moving vehicle: First of all... I need answers. Was there milk involved? Because if you were raw-dogging a dry bowl of Cap'n Crunch at 40 MPH, you are a menace to society. But if there was milk... sir, that's Olympic level coordination. You might be the Simone Biles of breakfast multitasking. Second, what kind of cereal are we talking here? Because this changes everything. Sincerely, A fellow commuter who now questions their own breakfast productivity.

Happy #Caturday friends, this is Chewbacca, aka Chewy, posing with his new OBT tarantula stuffie friend. Photo snapped by my 9yo.
An orange stuffed tarantula, it's an OBT, or Orange Bitey Thing and it has fuzzy orange chelicerae, 8 chibi eyes and sparkly pink ring horns. Next to the OBT is Chewbacca, a long haired domestic tabby cat with green eyes who is looking at the camera in the same direction the stuffie appears to be looking so they look posed. They are laying on a saffron yellow muslin blanket.

Also, the Visible wearable is definitely helping me but it's also one of those things that is a "that's good to know but maybe I don't want to know". This was my heart last night, seated, in a theater.
Screenshot of Amanda's heart rate pattern from the "Make Visible" application, it shows that from approximately 7:00pm to 9:30pm, Amanda was in constant tachycardia, with her heart rate spiking almost as high as 150.
