AP set up on Theodore Roosevelt Island, it looks like, (my favorite deserted place to be on a snow day), with a view of the KC (one of my favorite things to look at while having a thermos of hot chocolate on a snow day on Theodore Roosevelt Island). How can I get this assignment?

This is true if you have a narrow definition of "hockey", but after my weekly women's clinic tonight the locker room was full of women talking about the upcoming games they have in local women's leagues. We're all going to the PWHL game in January. There are friendly spaces for women in this game.

MTG's line that "There is no plan to save the world" absolutely hit me: last week I started reading a book about QAnon (The Quiet Damage by Jesselyn Cook) and the first chapter was titled after one of the conspiracy's gateway videos.
It just struck me as someone whose worldview had been shattered.

In my media monitoring, I read some of the most hateful, cruel, and toxic language about— and directed to— trans people. Having some somber thoughts on this Trans Day of Remembrance, and hoping people will learn to fix their hearts.
