It is November 10, and perhaps Hill East’s ferocious mosquitos will finally die tonight.
🥶 Feeling the chill?
Temps 40–45° this AM won’t rise much this afternoon.
We’re rating today 3️⃣ out of 🔟.
🌬️ A HARD FREEZE tonight — w/ wind chills in the upper teens & low 20s.
👀 Somebody might even spot a snow flurry!

Really smart work by a blind writer on Deaf history and art.
In our new issue, @quailty.bsky.social considers contemporary deaf art and writing, which navigates the contradictions of deaf life in America as the second Trump administration threatens to dismantle the ADA.
