Darkly hilarious. My insurance benefits end on Friday, but I'm getting an email to enroll for 2026. That place is a mess. (This country is a mess. Give us universal healthcare.)

To be jobless with 200 bucks in the bank, I should be freaking out, but I'm so happy. Being let go from a toxic place, which I let go on for 13 years, is making all the difference for my mental health. For once, I feel as if I have a say in my life.

"Doge," the Italian magistrates of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, comes from the Latin for "dux," where "duke" comes from. Doge was the highest official of the republic of Venice for more than 1,000 years (from the 8th to the 18th century).

So people in The Burroughs are just unphased by celebrities? Each time I come here, I always have at least one sighting. 1. My brain never moves fast enough to register the name to speak. 2. I'm always too stunned to speak.
