Little did I know that when I explained what blending is (smog), I also have to explain the science. Unfair that I’m now a STEM professor.

The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

I cane up with the caption and then decided to walk for a better view and then the rain started. This wasn’t as effective though.

Somebody please tell me that I need to go to my exercise class at the gym at 7 tonight even though I don't want to go ever and it's cold and rainy today. And why I need to go (I know, so I don't die sooner than later). I hate it so much.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’
Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

It is weird that no one in medicine tells cis women anything, even when they're putting us on drugs that impact hormones. I'd been on spiro for like 5 years before trans friends explained why I eat 8 pounds of pickles a week now 😭

NJ wasn't "supposed" to elect another Democrat after a Democrat. Or a woman. But we did and we'll do it again.
