When you're constantly just trying to keep the lights on and put food on the table, you don't have the time or energy to fight the system. Keeping people hanging on by a thread isn't a policy failure; it's how they keep us too tired to push back.

#OTD in 1986, the indomitable Grace Hopper retired from the U.S. Navy as a rear admiral. At age 79, she was the oldest active-duty commissioned officer in the Navy at the time of her retirement. She was a pioneering computer scientist who helped develop COBOL & early programming tools. #WomenInSTEM
A formal color portrait of Grace Hopper in her later years, standing with arms confidently crossed. She wears the full dress blue uniform of a U.S. Navy rear admiral, complete with gold shoulder boards bearing stars, a combination cap with elaborate gold embroidery and eagle insignia, ribbon bars, and a name tag reading "COMO HOPPER." Her short white hair is neatly styled, and she wears large glasses, gazing directly at the camera with a serious, resolute expression. A large American flag with gold fringe and tassels hangs prominently behind her against a plain backdrop.

Prepping for the heat dome. Cut up tons of fresh fruit, stacked in jars in the fridge (moving to glass instead of plastic). Made a batch of bean salad. Next is cole slaw, chicken salad. Boiling pasta for pasta salad. Then the range is shut down for the rest of this week. Cold food is the ticket!
