Honoring the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King today. This is a quote I often come back to when things feel heavy, and we’ve certainly had some dark days recently. (1/2)

In general, I am frankly the most organized person I know (especially digitally), but my Achilles' heel is creating a folder called "References" and then just dumping whatever the hell I want in there.

Feeling under the weather, so I’m listening to my body and taking it easy to the max today. Remember to rest when you need it! 🩵

Dear auto-correct: It’s a safe assumption that I don’t want you to change any of my text in my official City Council email to “poop.” I will not be offering to this stakeholder to “poop them in” on future discussions. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Since we’re all posting what we looked like in 2016 💒

Cool visit at Swagelok today and hearing about their ERG (ARG as they call it) operations! Very data-driven, as you might expect. Manufacturing floor was neat and tidy too! I used to use a LOT of the company’s fittings in a prior job, so it was interesting to see where they came from!

✋🛑 Stop! New Year’s Resolution checkpoint! How is yours going?

There are lots of new folks at the gym this time of year, so it’s a good time to offer friendly advice! For instance, *don’t* bash your knee into a piece of equipment because you weren’t watching where you were walking. It will swell up and hurt a lot! From me and my cold compress 🩵

I gave most people a little breathing room the first full week of the year, but you better believe my "circle back after the holidays" game is in FULL FORCE today!

Tfw your spot on the couch gets taken 🐶🐶

I feel the need to say that I commonly use em dashes in my writing — and I’ll continue to. Just because you see one doesn’t mean it’s AI-generated content.

I understand the resistance to using the urinal right next to somebody else, but what is it with people not willing to use the water fountain next to one you’re using?

Not my house, but… wait, WHAT? The elevator goes WHERE?

Kicked off the weekend with a deadlift PR! Documenting 1) the accomplishment and 2) that THIS is the reason I have what looks like a rope burn on my wrist 😅

Facebook reminded me that 6 years ago, I was at CES, looking at this satirical display about how not everything has to be an IoT device. 🥔

My business coach told me the mindset I need to approach my goals with is that I am both rich and hot. So that's the lens we're coming at 2026 with. I'm rich, and I'm hot.

It’s not a bathhouse, it’s an

We stayed up to watch The Cottage and I cried like 4 more times.

Just finished episode 5 and my husband was worried something was wrong as I flat-out bawled at the end 😭

Yeah, I’m gonna get on your case if you show me you’re de-decorating before Epiphany! Can you imagine the faux pas if the Magi had shown up and there was no plastic pre-lit Christmas tree next to baby Jesus?? Not in my house! 🎄

I was reminded once again today that a latte is not a great thing to have shortly before a cardio sesh 🥛👎

I may have over-caffeinated. I feel amazing but I can’t focus on anything 🫨

Well, we finally watched the first episode of that hockey show folks have been talking about. And ya know what? I enjoyed it.

I won!! And my most profitable property was… Baltic Ave?? (Farmer Maggot’s in the LOTR version) My friends had started to clean up, so not shown are all the houses and hotels that were in play (@tuesdayswithcory.bsky.social‘s hotels on all the orange properties) 👑

Here we go! The start of another term, as well as another year as Council President! 🩵🇺🇸

Justice for Barb 🩵

Started my exploration of Notion today. I think it'll do what I'm looking for. Some of the integrations don't work the way I wish they did, but just using web links instead of truly embedding the content seems to be an acceptable work-around (since the embed just opens the browser anyway...).

My heart keeps saying “but maybe if I try really hard!” 😅

One thing I can guarantee about Ohio winters is that there’ll be a snow storm every time one of our gay friends decides to throw a party ❄️

Finishing the year strong 💪

I’m wrapping up my first term as an elected official! Here’s a little something I wrote about how it went. On to the next 4 years! open.substack.com/pub/rossmunr...

This meme is played out.

You can tell I got a new Pokemon game when I accidentally fail to meet my Stand goal for the day 😅

Watching Stranger Things. Me: *Totally absorbed in the action and the twisting and turning plot* Husband: “No way a hospital in 1987 would have an overhead track with Cat6 network cables.”

I took these earlier this week and probably deleted and recovered them 6 or 7 times. I can name you at least a dozen things I don’t like about the shape I’m in right now, including a lot of unfair comparisons with where I was in the tail end of my 20s. (1/5)

Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄💚

It’s not a family holiday until somebody opens a conversation with “Did I tell you about my colonoscopy yet?”

Merry 🎄🩵

I have many business systems I use for various things, so I’m reluctant to add another one to the mix, but I’m thinking of trying something out that can bring everything together as a one-stop hub. Have heard good things about Notion, but not sure if I should go with Confluence. Much to ponder.

We have enough choir singers for the Christmas Eve service that I get to sing bass on almost every song 🥲

Finally got around to ordering our joint Christmas gift to each other for pickup 🥰 Since it’s half for me, I don’t feel so bad about being the most last-minute shopper possible haha.

Kpop Demon Hunters is a Christmas movie.

Add to the list of things that terrify our poor dog: the small beep the battery charger makes when a battery finishes charging. That in addition to bicycles parked on the sidewalk, things that make a scrapey sound when the wind blows them down the street, and any balloon.

Even though I know what Hamnet is about (thanks, NPR!), my brain keeps trying to make it Terminator but with pigs.

Thinking about confidence today! Maybe next time I think about confidence I’ll make a short video in fewer than 5 takes 😅.

I see this winter’s Very Itchy Spot™️ has revealed itself.

My body is mad at me after yesterday’s lift, so I think the doctor ordered a nice stretch and sauna sesh for today’s gym visit 🙂‍↕️

It’s amazing what interesting people you meet when you go into business for yourself and start talking to everyone about what they’re building 🤯

I don’t always sing karaoke. But when I do, I prefer ABBA 🎶

Sometimes I forget about the little jokes I leave myself in my templates. It's great for a chuckle when I stumble on them later on.
