Something I noticed the last time I flew in Sept. I forgot to add my KTN and had to go through regular security. The line was almost nonexistent. The Pre-check line was massive and I was through security several minutes before my friend who went through Pre-check. Yes I gloated.

I had a dream last night that I was trapped in a town at the base of an erupting volcano. I understand why I had that dream but my awareness doesn't make it any less terrifying. It's a terrible feeling to wake up to. My blessings to those who actually live at the base of a volcano.

Tangentially, two of these states, Wyoming and Vermont, have fewer residents than Washington D.C., which is not a state and therefore no voting representation in congress.

My second longest relationship has been with my current hairstylist. I realized this when I got my hair cut last week. I walked in and she greeted me by saying, “What up, bitch?” This is a special friendship that is as meaningful to me as any I’ve ever had.

"Even high school students will say, 'You can't expect me to rehears for my death and then expect me to me to go back and learn math.'" I cannot begin to imagine what it must be like to be a child living in America today. It's heartbreaking.

Lockdown drills have become a routine part of the school year. But should they be?
School leaders hope lockdown drills will help protect their students in the event of a mass shooting. But what does it do to students' mental health?

Attacks on trans rights are often framed as efforts to "protect women." But the reality is that such attacks only protect the patriarchy. Because enforcing a strict sex-based gender binary makes it easier to tilt that binary into a hierarchy where women are subordinate to men.

So it appears the suspects who allegedly robbed the Louvre were just as careless as the villains in the Great Muppet Caper and NOT like the brazen yet flawless thieves in A Fish Called Wanda.

I am the worst at remembering anniversaries. October 1 marked five years hosting Morning Edition on WAMU. Five years waking up in the middle of the night, downing coffee like water, and bringing you the regional news you need to start your day. Thanks for listening to me all these years.

Just saw a national commercial that was filmed in D.C. and shows a couple walking along former Black Lives Matter plaza. It was obviously filmed before March 2025, when Mayor Muriel Bowser dismantled the giant yellow letters that lined 16th St. NW at the demands of the Trump admin.
