I've used subsidized healthcare when unemployed.
I was a DEI hire (an engineer, often the only female in the room.)
It's all physics.
I Stand with Ukraine.

This, THIS! is why I'm here. To meet the kindred spirits who geek out over Merriam-Websters.
The dictionary we had when I was growing up included an index of biographical names and also one with the origins and meanings of first names. The pages were magically thin yet strong, endlessly fascinating.

My copy is in transit, and I cannot wait for it to arrive
It's arrived—and it's gorgeous.
I opened @merriam-webster.com's new Twelfth Collegiate at random, and the first word I came across was the second, verbal sense of "load."
Huzzah!
This spread also showcases some delights, like the illustrations and word lists.

Saddened, angered, hard to discern the feelings brought on by this headline and the relentless cruelty.
But reminded that this is also who we are. Neighbor helping neighbor even more, when the govt would let children go hungry to spite the other party (among their other inhumane reasons.)

Teary at all kinds of teary reunions, whether defenders and families or little friends. Hopeful for many more.
An unexpected reunion of two friends at a train station.Illia&Nazar once lived together in Zaporizhzhia, but Russia’s war separated them
Their parents decided to surprise them:one boy thought he was going to Zaporizhzhia,while the other believed he was meeting his mother’s friends

A friend asked about how much protein pumpkin seeds compared to tofu so I went to the reliable source, USDA Food DATA Central. But before finding the DATA i'm assaulted with propaganda. Because he cares so damn much.

A current DoD official and many military legal experts say the U.S. attack on a boat in the Caribbean near Venezuela broke international law.
