At a 6pm briefing, organizers say the decision to fly tonight is up to the pilots but they’re hopeful the storms will die down. #BalloonsOverVermilion @21st.show @brianmackey.bsky.social

Why post my vacay pics? To brag? (Ok a little) but as a reminder: PLEASE take time to care for yourself. Nonstop news, the future of public media with less, and attacks on the communities I identify with exhausted me. This planned trip to Europe w/friends came at a perfect time. Pick a place and go!

Interesting to be sitting in a meeting with the current UIUC Chancellor Robert Jones giving a farewell speech when the announcement comes out about his successor, Charles Lee Isbell, noted computer scientist from UW Madison!
