Alternating my workout to keep up with my body’s needs. Tomorrow it is swimming. Low impact for knee which is recuperating. A short walk in winter wonderland, today, to keep it from stiffening. (✔️ on taking care of my body in might as well as I did. Recuperation times for injury, not too bad.)

Could have got his number. Somethin. But, in my own mind, I was like how wrong would that be. Also, how stupid am I really? 😂

Every massive shooting, the Trump administration mistakenly says a suspect is in custody when they are not in custody. Incompetent fools.

Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history.
Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.

Please don’t immediately jump on educators while every single media company and all social media apps are actively warping children’s brains, including their attention spans, with content that prioritizes constantly moving on to the next new thing.

High school teacher here. If we assign chapters to read for homework, only a handful do it. I can’t speak to why they’re not reading at home, and I don’t want to judge families and households that may be experiencing myriad hardships. So we read the books in class, and that just takes time.

I mean…parents could give them a book. I understand the angst but reading is a community responsibility. 😬
In American high schools, many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. trib.al/gNp7kWK
