From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Hit Hyper again in TFT, definitely the smoothest climb I've had!
Too many people tunnel on a single headliner, makes the game so much more consistent if you play whatever shows up.

Say hello to Myles!
Originally a stray cat found by a work friend. After asking around their neighborhood, nobody claimed him.
He had a bad case of ear mites but a trip to the vet cleared that up quickly. He's about 5-6 months old, the newest member of the household!
