It's 8:40 pm and it feels like it might be 3 am. Only another five months of this

In the early 1900s Allegheny County had a sheriff named Judd H. Bruff, which is maybe the platonically perfect name for a county sheriff

Made a raspberry jam - orange marmalade sponge pudding. Ten minutes and we turn it upside down to see if it comes out pretty-like

You can see right over Mount Washington. I'm pretty sure this is the bell tower of St. Bernard's in Mount Lebanon on the horizon

I need you to be very honest with me for a sec: do they actually say that line in the movie or is that a joke that's been going around

I only know this because I read an informational plaque in the building, but it actually started out as a market hall! Which makes a lot of sense. Since then it has been a lot of very strange things

Did a St. Anthony last night too. With this kind of drawing the SVG is like a finely adjustable engraving matrix (or, more like choreography for a pen); every plot is a print, or impression. I adjust the matrix once I see what it looks like under certain conditions: a particular pen, paper, ink.

Sorry we actually have data into the end of 2025 (www.kff.org/womens-healt...). The elevated trend continued through 24 and 25. And yes while some states have total bans the ones that don't have made up all the slack and more. Telehealth is also a factor

That was, in fact, the highest measured U.S. rate in more than a decade. www.guttmacher.org/node/300483/...

Despite Bans, Number of Abortions in the United States Increased in 2023

Guttmacher's national estimates put the abortion rate at 14.4 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 in 2020, with about 930,000 abortions. In 2023, the first full calendar year after Dobbs, it estimated about 1.04 million abortions and a rate of 15.9 per 1,000, roughly 11% higher than in 2020.
