My 18yo son and I talk a LOT about sports gambling. It hits all the right buttons for a sports fan without a fully developed frontal cortex. I'm pretty sure he gets it, but I loathe how families are left holding the bag while multi-billion dollar companies get richer.

Our community is shaken. I woke up weeping again. This needs to be known.

I don't know how to boost this, but it needs to be known. What our government is doing to Haitians is shameful.

One of my son's former high school teammates, who is Haitian, committed suicide today because of the shame of wearing an ankle monitor. His family wants people to know. His name was Pierre. He wanted to go to Wright State and become a doctor.

For the life of me, I do not understand how it helps the Buc-ee's brand to go after mom and pop businesses with Microsoft clip art animal mascots. Especially one in a city named for beavers where everything is beaver-themed. www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/buc-ee...

I was shopping for a Bible cover for a family member today and uh... apparently you can buy a Tactical Bible cover. For the devout militia member in your life, I guess? Who no doubt attends worship at a cathedral?

I feel like this hasn't made the news beyond our area, but here's what's been happening in Springfield this week. Today was our first day without a bomb threat as far as I'm aware. www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/2-sprin...

Childhood Muppet Show nostalgia is so strong for me that when we took our kids to see The Muppets movie reboot in 2011, I genuinely teared up when the muppets started singing "it's time to play the music."

Would you rather bring your baby with you to a place you know to be dangerous, or leave them with strangers in a place you know to be safe? That is the impossible choice many Haitian parents in my community are making on the eve of TPS expiring. Lord, have mercy.

Last week my little neighbor girls were handing out homemade cardboard "cookies" to the neighborhood. I had some flowers left over from an event so I gave them each one. Me: I love cookies! What kind are they? Twin 1: Chocolate chip Twin 2: (simultaneously) Cardboard 1/2

Springfield, Ohio. My guess is about 1,000 strong showing up for a Love Thy Neighbor rally today in support of our Haitian neighbors.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children.

Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.

“I feel all sleepy,” she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.

On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

This group (and others) put my city through the meat grinder last fall and I can't tell you how happy I am to see them facing consequences for their actions. If nothing else than to have to pay lawyers and spend time in court. www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/city-of...

I keep thinking about the health insurance CEO shooting yesterday. For me it crystallizes the fundamental dissonance of a private company whose mission is ostensibly health but whose bottom line is financial profits over keeping people alive and healthy. Same for big food corporations.
