I went to the Tompkins County Clerk today and they not only solved my immediate need, but also solved another issue I had bc correct info NOT available online, AND pre-solved another one where I *would* have had a problem. 10/10 no notes.

I really miss European xmas markets.
But the Ithaca Coffee Co has a couple of shelves of euro xmas stuff, and I may have just eaten an *entire bag* of Pfeffenüsse. In one sitting.
I can carry the pregnancy excuse into breastfeeding times right?

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.

I love the dictionary account
‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'
