I don't know the solution but sometimes knowing is better than wondering. Customer service is meant to fail you. How do we connect to the person and not the employee?

That Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose.

Endless wait times and excessive procedural fuss—it’s all part of a tactic called “sludge.”

Over the last 8 yrs, did people feel a benefit of these tax cuts? Enough to pull safety nets & benefits as those listed below while increasing funding for defense and immigration. Also, funds for immigration raids have not helped America but disrupt our workforce

I’ve been covering the anti ICE protests in Spokane for the better part of four days with little sleep. I’m exhausted. I’m sad. I’m scared for our city and our community. But I’m also profoundly hopeful. Here’s a quick thread of things I saw during and following the protest that give me hope:

Ya'll notice how no major news outlet will give an estimate on the military parade attendance except "less than the predicted 200,000"

Water is not a chameleon as it shapes itself to its surroundings. It sustains with longevity. It has strength as its molecules move together as one force. It adapts but also erodes what stands in its way. So like Bruce Lee said, "Be water, my friend." Just don't get stuck in an eddy.

"Empty your mind.
Be formless, shapeless, like water.
You put water into a cup; it becomes the cup.
You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle.
You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow, or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.”
— Bruce Lee

So many birds! Merlin list in comments by sound. I couldn't capture any of them as they are fast and small so nothing added to my life list. What a beautiful day for a run and to be able to listen to such beauty
