Jen Myers @antiheroine.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This past weekend I went, as annual autumnal tradition demands, to the apple orchard, where I engaged in the ritual of navigating the labyrinth of corn (this year shaped like dear, departed Dolly), petting farm animals, consuming cider and, oddly enough, picking apples. 10/10, would weekend again. 151
Jen Myers @antiheroine.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I have no musical background or education at all but a few years ago I decided to go to the opera because I had never been before. Now I'm a season subscriber locally and have heard over a dozen operas in various places, including at the Met. It really is for everyone. This should be everywhere. 010

Jen Myers @antiheroine.bsky.social · 19/09/2026My local school patrol group has kept up school patrols since last fall. Every day.

Jen Myers @antiheroine.bsky.social · 19/09/2026For what it's worth: I got my updated covid vaccine yesterday and no one asked me at any point in the entire process about pre-existing conditions.
