Perfect day: I ran a 4 mile race and hit a personal best time in my post-illness running; attended an online Jewish writer's conference (thanks @jewishbookcouncil.bsky.social !), edited my WIP, and read "The Payback" by @kashana.blacksky.app

I transcribed a diary of an Alexandria woman who had nothing positive to say about the Rev War generation of men. The context was how they’d denied her the education she wanted. Her words are harsh. I wonder how many other women felt the same, but we only ever hear Abigail’s voice.

I saw W Kamau Bell say on Subway Takes that every New Yorker should have to spent two weeks every year in the South, and honestly, no. Rural Southerners should spent two weeks in NYC. If they’re nice, they can do a week here and a week in some Ben and Jerry’s ass part of Vermont in the summer
We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Yeah, I was thinking this yesterday. There was so much emphasis on ensuring that non-urban people didn't feel looked down upon that there wasn't a defense of cities as a place to live. One in 27 Americans lives in the LA metro area! Nearly twice as many as Indiana!

Can someone explain to me why Mike Johnson keeps doing press conferences given he has shut down the House indefinitely and it doesn't exist anymore as far as he's concerned? (also why reporters keep showing up and asking him questions like that's not the case when he won't answer any of them anyway)

A USDA memo shows the Trump regime rejected using $5 billion in contingency funds to extend food aid during the shutdown. We’re in the shutdown because Republicans don't want to extend Obamacare subsidies, which help millions of Americans have affordable healthcare.
