Apparently, I run with a mid-foot strike, but walk with a heel strike. So I need to learn how to walk more like how I run. Have you ever tried to actually think about how you walk, as an adult? Seriously trippy. And yes, I intended that pun.

One of the advantages of working in a PT clinic is, when something goes wrong, they get you in that week. One of the disadvantages of working in a PT clinic is, your coworker’s been silently judging how you walk for 2 years, just waiting for a chance to tell you how you’re doing it wrong. 😂🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️

If you think "working class" is white male auto workers who live in the suburbs, and not multiracial Starbucks baristas, Amazon warehouse workers, and Wal-Mart greeters of all genders, you are perpetuating a revanchist racist myth, the reality of which died with Reagan.

Oh hey, it’s only supposed to hit 86° today! (That’s still too warm for Seattle, but we’ll take it. Proper temperatures are coming back for the weekend, hopefully)

Small sample of things #Project2025 wants to get rid of:
-Abortion
-Pornography
-Overtime pay
-Social Security
-Veterans' disability benefits
-19th Amendment (women voting)
If that doesn't hit every demographic, IDK what would.

This was one of those days where I did so much work _associated_ with writing (and publishing) but none of the actual _writing_ . The fact that I was productive does not offset the feeling that I did nothing all day. Writerbrains. 🤷♀️ (and why can't I get a non-blond emoji? Annnnooooying)

i don't know how to make it any clearer: the GOP's 14th Amendment platform plank establishing fetal personhood because something something "states' rights" is about as "moderate" and "softened" as it was "moderate" and "soft" to allow chattel slavery in Confederate states

I’m seriously concerned for her mental well-being. If a flag seen out of the corner of her eye is enough to render her incapable of serving… She really needs to resign, for her own sake.

“Pierce County Councilmember Amy Cruver is refusing to sit in council chambers while a pride flag is displayed there because she said it…interferes with her ability to engage in meetings.”
Ms Cruver’s mental health is clearly too delicate for her to hold office.

ooof. From THE SHATTERED VINE: "We cannot choose the age we live in. The world of my youth was a simpler one — or perhaps I merely believed it to be so. But simplicity is not the natural state of affairs for man, and the whispers of past glory – real or otherwise — are forever in our ears."

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

There. Now can we please stop with the media-driven panic about Biden and get our focus back where it belongs? Direct your fire at Trump and the GOP. You know — the ones threatening to turn the American democratic republic into a theofascist dictatorship.

Also not going to lie, the last year has been particularly challenging for us as a family, involving several trips to hospital for a loved one's very concerning situation and other shenanigans I can't talk about but which have taken a toll on mental health and finances. Subscribing would help both.

The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

The folk behind Project 2025 are flat-out saying that there "will be violence" if voters don't fall in behind Trump (www.threads.net/@jbouie/post...), and Trump is boosting calls for televised gov't harassment of his enemies (www.cnn.com/.../trump-li...)
That's what the GOP is offering. Vote wisely.

Amateur-hour explosives in the street kept my pup (and therefore me) up until 2am, dealing with her terror, & I had a 7am business call to take before being in the office at 8. If anyone with the smell of gunpowder on their fingers comes near me, I will not be held liable for what happens.

Dear fellow humans who should know better in 2024: "I never saw them behave that way" may just mean they were aware enough not to let you see that behavior. Do we need to ink this on your palms, so you'll remember next time? Because, sadly, there will be a next time.
