I had to get stuck 4x today (2 blood draws and 2 immunizations) but more importantly I was able to get my Chihuahua mix Taco some new Halloween pjs. So y’know, priorities.

I’m editing my first Youtube video. It’s awful. I’ve never filmed long form content before, never edited before, a lot of my shots of an event were never actually filmed, & I can’t find a font that looks right. But I’m gonna post it, & then another, & another, & so on until they are actually good.

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.
