Got my passport back. They changed my gender marker back. I have no idea how to feel right now other than absolutely livid at every Republican and third party voter who made this something I have to deal with.

There's something a bit poignant about a Bluetooth device failing to connect to another device right next to it when they're the only Bluetooth devices for hundreds of thousands of kilometres around.

My kid, Z, is a bit over two and a half (HOW?! 😭😭). She's put it together that singing happy birthday usually = cake. So yesterday after everyone was done singing HBD to me, she looks at Elizabeth and quietly says, "Where is my cake?" 😂😂🤣

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Saw a show on BBC home and garden when Z was all of four months old about making a holiday garland of your baby's onesies from when they were itty bitty. We templated some hearts, trees, mittens, and stars on a box of seltzer. And now that she's 27.5 months old, I finally got around to making it. 😂

Cutting federal funding wouldn't just threaten smaller public media orgs, such as New England community radio stations. The impact would ripple across public media — putting national shows, shared music licensing costs, and more at risk. My latest: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/22/b...

How cutting funding for public media could impact New England radio and TV stations - The Boston Globe

Federal support is the keystone of a funding system that many public media executives say would otherwise be on shaky ground.
