Casually saw Biden on the boardwalk in Rehoboth. He was very sweet, taking photos and chatting with people. The crowd grew very quick so secret service escorted him away after a bit. He seemed well, all things considered. Lots of cheers and thank yous and "I miss you"s.

Today is my last day at Voice of America, though not by choice. #SaveVOA @savevoa.bsky.social

Terminated from Voice of America... again. Never been fired from the same job twice 🤔.

I feel like I should have something poignant to say, but as we turned in our badges and were escorted to our desks to collect things, there was just such a profound feeling of nothingness.

It's very strange to keep seeing my (former?) workplace on the news... uhhh so here's an excellent blep from Miss Eloise.

Out of curiosity I looked, and I am indeed the last newscast for Voice of America. My voice weirdly frozen in time.

My sister took me to get dino nugget tattoos for distraction, and it worked... look at it. I named him Leroy.

(Also turns out I don't have to return my stuff right now... but may be asked to... so we'll see what happens. Locked out of all accounts so... just gotta wait and see)

Happy Birthday 🎂 to the leggiest of puppies. How are you 4-years-old??? Half sweet pea half demon. Enjoy your sweet potato today, Eloise.

Tell me about your #Rook

Ottilia Aldwir. Veil Jumper turned Crow. She has a burn scar that covers the right of her face down under her chin and onto her neck from an Elven artifact gone rogue. Her lightning scars are from a Pride demon she accidentally unleashed. Lucanismancer

As I deal with the news 8hrs a day, I am trying to get off of social media outside of work hours as much as possible... so here's a photo of Basil to brighten your day.

I was having a very very bad brain day, but fiancé and her sunny presence and our hopeful plans helped a lot. Also lots of puppy snuggles... or smotherings.
