So foggy it was almost misty, but I put on my reflective vest and went for a walk after The Huz went to his parents' house. We had a lovely day together and now I'm having a pleasant evening NOT with his family.

every time I see a headline framing this as being primarily an issue of the student having controversial opinions, and not the student being an asshole with a right wing podcaster mom who wanted to ruin a trans person’s career for the clicks, I age another ten years

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

"You're an only child? Hunh. I figured you came from a big family."
I was flattered after years of hearing people tell me that I "must be spoiled" when they found out, even though many had already known me. And the vibe was certainly complimentary.

It's possible "to envision a future around the year 2130 where hikers on beloved routes like the AT, Benton MacKaye, and the Long Trail pass through groves of monstrous American chestnut trees and the smell of roasting nuts mixes with campfire smoke in the autumn air."

Abolish ICE.
Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare says "that ICE raids have affected nearly a dozen criminal cases his office was pursuing, including sexual assaults of children, because victims and witnesses were either deported or refused to participate in trials because they were undocumented."
As ICE ramps up deportations, Texas prosecutors say they’re losing key witnesses in criminal cases | Houston Public Media
District attorneys in Harris, El Paso and other counties say some cases, including murders, have been hobbled or lost because witnesses were detained, deported or too scared to come to court.
