I’m watching the Netflix documentary “Gone Girls” because I am still convinced the Gilgo Beach killer is also the 29 Stalker. We haven’t even gotten to Rex, and this whole story is crazy. I’m totally riveted.

Sometimes, resistance and community care looks like this. My measles titer came back "equivocal" last month, so today, I got an MMR shot. Thanks to Drs. Webb and Bell for teaching us all so much about public health during COVID. Because fuck RFKjr for trying to kill us all. We keep us safe.

If you were a cat who gave birth to kittens outside during a snowstorm, where would you have birthed them? And no, the answer is not the insulated cat house we left for her when she started hanging out on our front porch. Asking for my neighbor.

Happy Festivus for the rest of us! At the top of my list this year are the billionaires.

There are so many children across the country whose needs were unmet this holiday season. If you have time/money/bandwidth left, call your local school or social services group or church and ask if you can make some December magic for a family that is still waiting to be matched.

As a Brown alum who lived in Charlottesville for many years, it is particularly jarring and traumatizing to once again see beloved landmarks on the national news after unspeakable tragedy.

Cue me explaining to my boss what motorboating is. I clearly made some poor life choices that led to today.

That fool really said that we can make life more affordable by rationing pencils. "No kid needs 37 pencils. They only need one or two."

I love the teachers in Bridgeport. This is such a great article. Harding High’s progress marks turning point for Bridgeport schools ctmirror.org/2025/12/04/b...

35 degrees and rain is just disrespectful.

Nothing says you are middle aged like hitting your out of pocket maximum and realizing your HRT is going to be free until June 30, 2026.

Cranberry bread and ginger snaps for breakfast with my coffee. It's bad out there, but we good in here. We're warm, healthy, and fed. So much to be thankful for this year in my family.

This, my friends, is how journalism should be. ctexaminer.com/2025/11/25/b...

Because I am crazy, I just left my house in the shadow of the Yale Bowl at 1145 on the day of the Yale/Harvard game (noon kickoff) to go to the Milford Costco for one item. On the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

McFadden has used the aliases Shiloh Mathis, Frank Hargrave, and Miles Bakari, and has spent time in Baltimore, Joppa, Md., Lake City, S.C., Columbia, S.C., Atlanta, New York City, Rochester, N.Y, and Los Angeles. If you know anything: Detective Cundiff 434-996-5875 or [email protected].

I'm sending work emails at 10:30 at night and channeling my New England grandmother as I use the term "sir." New Englanders use formality the way southerners say "bless your heart."

This is major. If you know anything about Shiloh/Erik's whereabouts for the last 13 years, please contact the Charlottesville Police Department. Sage's family deserves closure. Her beloved grandmother has died, and her aunt was murdered by a serial killer. Help this family get the answers they need

So much for only hiring the best to be SROs. Why are we allowing cops in the schools? archive.ph/KDjoy

Apropos of nothing, but given how police are allowed to move from force to force with all sorts of misconduct in their employment files, are SROs required to undergo the same background checks as every other school employee?

"Stubborn and principled often look the same, especially to those who are unprincipled." --Jim Ryan While he was often a source of disappointment as president, at least he disappointed the left and the right equally, which tells me he really didn't bring a personal agenda into his work.

Am I the only person who finds the plastic soup spoons at Panera to be unusable? My lips end up shredded every time I am stuck using one. It makes Autumn Squash Soup season particularly exciting.

Dog is my co-pilot.

Mamdani won on a progressive platform of affordability, transportation, inclusive schools and safe streets. Spanberger won on a moderate platform of affordability, transportation, inclusive schools and safe streets. what is the difference? age? race/religion? The target of their ire?

Did Cheney go to bed Monday night saying, "A blue wave tomorrow that results in a Muslim mayor for NYC and a Muslim LG in Virginia? Over my dead body!"

If you are one of the 113 people who voted for Elicker on the Working Families line in New Haven's ward 25, I would love to meet with you about how we can increase voter turnout and build a stronger, progressive coalition in our neighborhood to protect our democracy.

Midterms are in 363 days. What are you doing to strengthen our democracy between today and November 3, 2026? Register voters? Attend local gov meetings? Lobby for better election laws? Educate voters? Build coalitions? Organize rides to the polls? Build voter protection teams?

For those still laughing at the Kentuckyians after their republican secretary of state mocked them, please read William Barber's White Poverty and then tell me if mocking rural voters is the way to build a winning coalition for our future. faithandleadership.com/white-povert...

I did my math wrong, but it was still less than 20%. Abysmal.

When I said that I was shook yesterday by my polling place not letting us vote for 45 minutes, this is partially why. Im still angry. Even more angry when I see that my city had single digit turnout percentage for the mayoral race.

Is my math correct? Less than 5% of registered voters in New Haven turned out to vote for mayor yesterday? That’s a major sign of a dysfunctional democracy. I’ve tried multiple times to sign up for the mailing list for the DTC, and I have yet to receive a single email. That’s another one.

Connecticut, why does it take so long for the state elections website to update? And, relatedly, who is reporting the Bridgeport results?

My Virginia beloveds, I am so proud of you. And so happy. That house of delegates sweep is incredible.

Jones has been lagging behind Spanberger by 4-4.5% since the first results were reported. If she stays above 55%, I think he will pull out a win.

This afternoon: 1. Email to Secretary of State about the polls closing for 45 minutes. 2. Call to my state Senator about polls closing. 3. Call from GYN about needing a follow up mammogram due to missing records and suspicious spot. 4. Call to Amy at MJH about my missing records. GenX activism.

You all. I am about to lose my entire mind. I went to vote, and my polling place was CLOSED "for 10 minutes" for "the 1 pm count." We finally left 35 minutes later without voting. I told people it was voter suppression and, it turns out, Connecticut Democrats don't like being told that.

Dick Cheney was the breeder who created the particularly aggressive face-eating leopard running around our country right now and he literally was shocked when it ate his daughter's face. Today is a great day to exercise your constitutional right to vote against face eating leopards.

Anyone in Charlottesville with some time today would be doing folks a real solid and really helping save the state by parking at Tonsler to tell people the issue and offering rides to anyone who needs a ride up Cherry Ave to vote. Especially as we get closer to the close of polls.

It is only thanks to the hard work of incredible people on the ground in Charlottesville and Albemarle that UVA students aren’t included in this lawsuit. A number of people fought for years to make sure they could register and vote without unconstitutional obstacles.

We went to the Edgewood Market this morning and it was packed. Cityseed was giving families $50 in SNAP tokens for free. A donor has been secured for some of that money, but they had already blown through the donation less than an hour in. DONATE TO FEED NEIGHBORS. cityseed.org/donate/

I feel like I just watched a whole show about how the love of your life has to *want* to convert for it to count. #NobodyWantsThat #NobodyWantsJDVance #OrErikaKirk

We saw one K-pop demon hunter. She was a little black girl and her mom had dyed her hair purple and made a purple bumpy pony tail and it totally made my night!

Even if SNAP gets restored this month, lots of our neighbors are food insecure. You should still donate to your local food banks and find and support food pantries that dont have eligibility requirements. mixed status families dont want to register with the government. everyone deserves to eat.

Leaning in hard to an oldie but goodie in the organizing world today: "It is better to be disliked for what you are doing than liked for what you are not doing." After all, you can't make a cake without breaking some eggs. Sometimes those eggs are egos.

Real flames. Not metaphorical ones.

I mean, they do need fiscal transparency, but I’m not convinced an out of state consultant is the path to take to achieve it.

I watched "The Perfect Neighbor" this weekend and I'm still speechless.

Well, this is horrible, and the woman’s reaction is totally predictable: she wishes she had never called for help. People will die now that they are afraid to call the police for help.

In my car outside the gym, waiting for my kid. An elderly man just opened my passenger door and tried to climb in. Im not sure who was the most frightened: me or the man's son/grandson. I imagine both of us saw a potential tragedy about to occur in that moment of confusion. The door is locked now.
