Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.

My son’s favorite item right now is a broken, red, 4th of July headband. It must be present for the bedtime routine.

How many times will I reheat my coffee before I finish it?

And yes, I prefer microwaved coffee to luke-warm coffee
