Ooh thanks for the tip. I saw her at John Stirratt’s Sonic Sleepover last month and really loved her (not just bc of her parents’ excellent taste in names).

I was watching a friend’s dog for the last several days — same problem. One dog on either side of me, both pressing up against me. It was… cozy?

A friend teaches super-inclusive Broadway dance classes and while saying I have 2 left feet is wildly understating it—I couldn’t resist the “Sit Down” class. It was SO FUN despite my complete inability to retain the choreo.

I would like to sign my dog up for Brian’s Lessons in Living Well (that don’t require a 7am wake up).

Had the same thought! Especially odd in the Athletic, which loves to use obscure sports jargon with no explanation.

Oh this looks amazing—thank you! We haven’t had actual conflict yet but have realized that growing the group means we should be prepared for conflict to arise.

Happy to connect if you like! We are planning a half-day retreat in a few weeks to hash things out. Kinda making it up as we go along, but it seems to be working?

It IS hard, but also so worthwhile. I’m part of a SURJ circle that has been learning to organize together for almost a year. We are having some growing pains at the moment and I’m so proud of us for working through it together.

This whole thing is an embarrassment. He was obviously incredibly poorly vetted. His former policy director — who resigned after the Reddit stuff came out — said he told her about the tattoo several weeks ago; his current staff says she’s lying, trying to throw her under the bus. So gross.

I *think* so. He’s drawing insane crowds and activating them — his campaign has their (large) volunteer base canvassing to fight a bad absentee voting referendum on the ballot next month. I want to hear more from him beyond his very good applause lines… but I’m cautiously optimistic.

FYI, he was identified as a candidate by several Maine labor orgs, including the lobstermen’s association. Mills is…

I really don’t understand what she thinks she adds.
