Also old, I ran my first ever 10K today and tripped and fell when crossing the finish line. 💅

What did you see there? Was it all worth it?

It is such a cynical and small-minded project that could cause real harm to so many people. Absolutely infuriating.

I am flying for fun later this week but rather dreading it. Was going to just deal with TSA delays for the sake of a few days in Chicago, but now very anxious/angry about ICE presence. My partner has a lot of travel on deck in the next few months that she booked before all of this. Most of it is work related, but most of it is also not essential. I’m worried for her safety.

Heard about lazy in bed. I need a reset because I keep getting there 2-3 hours in on Sundays, and it’s kind of a Thunderdome by then.

They’ve been good at the farmer’s market! We don’t have much of the season left.

Question about the "plan" to staff airport security with ICE agents. Apart from the legal concerns and risks to civil rights, has ICE not also been unpaid for several weeks now? Why do we expect them to keep showing up as this continues to drag on?

I was awakened by police sirens at 2:30 thinking there was a manhunt, but the cops were trying to let people know to move their cars. This one was very close.

I have seen shingles and fluorouracil (5-FU) as speculations. I’ll add radiation dermatitis to the pile.

My Mardi Gras group is going tomorrow as The Very French Resistance. There will be armbands, berets, Breton shirts, baguettes, a Louvre jewel thief, and a Joan of Arc. Bots, you will be happy; I’m going as one of these kids: http://youtu.be/unYu22Ign1E
