I’ve been on here a few days and am avoiding a writing task, so this seems like a good time for Ursula Von Cat to make her Bluesky debut.

South Station is a little busier than usual, and the additional traffic looks like commuters as opposed to summer tourists. And there’s some signage explaining service changes.

I usually take the 8 a.m. commuter bus from NH to South Station. Grabbed the 7 a.m. today to give myself a little extra time. The ride down looks okay right now.

A little more than a week until #AEJMC22 gets underway, and I have a Very Important Question: Who else has a birthday during conference week?
Because, people, it's #Leoseason and we therefore *must* celebrate. cc @KimFoxWOSU
P.S. I'm Aug. 4.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate from the after party in my parents’ basement! And, as my dad said during grace, let’s work for a better, more peaceful world. ☮️
