Are there still delays? The Glenmont-bound train that just left Shady Grove is going remarkably slow - any reason why?

I’ve been waiting for Democrats to just crash TF out and say “ok bet, if there are no rules anymore, our platform is student loan forgiveness, erasure of credit card interest debt, eliminating interest rates over 5%, stopping spam calls to your cellphones, etc.” where is project 2028?

The really exasperating thing is all this ends if even a slight majority of white folks can accept that a multiracial democracy is the only viable route.

Omgosh I’ve seen so many cicadas this week - not near any periodical cicadas sites this year. That’d be my choice but these are all so great 🥹

10 years ago this month, i defended my dissertation. i scrounged up two pictures from the day. linguistics is an odd, sometimes challenging field, but i’ve been incredibly privileged to learn and travel with great advisors, colleagues, and friends along the way 😌😌
Savi, Ryan, and Tessa smiling. Savi and Tessa have matching black rompers. Ryan has a blue tanktop that reads “Carol & Farrell & Karen & Sharon & Rachel”. Ryan looking at his computer while presenting to an audience. His dissertation committee members are sitting in the front row.
