Just got notice that our family health team is losing a doc. A friend’s kid in elementary school has had four teachers since September. I don’t want to read about tax cuts.

During my undergrad, a guy showed up at a party my roommates and I had who told us he “only read Bukowski.” Each time he said “Bukowsi,” he’d lift his pant leg slightly to display a tattoo on his shin.

Glad people are OK.

Also, this is the first bit of breaking news I’ve gleaned from Bluesky. Take that, Elmo.
