We had a fun 4.4 miler at Papago Park with the #ArizonaRoadRacers to celebrate the end of the summer series. They also gave out the overall age group awards for the entire series. I took 1st for the W50-54 category and my friend Cristina took second.

TEXAS REPUBLICANS DID IT —63 DAYS BEFORE ELECTION DAY Tarrant County, they voted 3–2 to close 92 Election Day polling locations, cutting the number from 316 to 224. More than 100 people showed up to speak out before the vote. Republicans did it anyway. Closing nearly 30% of the polling places.

For a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? If it’s up to my husband? 27 chapstick tubes! (Absolutely true story)

It was overcast but muggy AF for the #ARRSummerSeries race #4 this morning. I took fifth overall for the women and first in my age group, but it was a tough run. There were several people crossing the finishing and dry-heaving. Oof.

In case you haven't seen this today.

We got up early to run the Arizona Road Racers’ #FourontheFourth in Peoria. Thankfully, cloud cover held for the race. I took first in my age group, beating a rival mom by 10 seconds. I need a nap.

We had a lovely time exploring glaciers in Glacier Bay on our cruise. Alaska is gorgeous!

Bald eagles in Vancouver’s Stanley Park-what a lovely day in Canada!

Love to see someone booed lustily. Lustily: the only way to boo.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

Bingo! It’s their common denominator.

Who Gutted The Voting rights act ???? Because it was not Black people

It's important to have joy in your life. Especially when you feel helpless. Especially when you're going through some shit. Especially when you don't know how to find any. Yay for games. Yay for silly little hobbies. Yay for stories and art and music. Yay for just being able to nerd about stuff.

One of my students asked me if I think Lightning McQueen had life insurance or car insurance. 🤪 I love high schoolers.

It was a warm one for the Pancake Run. My friends and I did the double stack (10K followed by a 5K). I ran the 10K faster than my Mesa 10K, so I was pleased. I took 10th for the women and second in my age group. That 5K was 🥵. But we had fun and ate pancakes.

We don’t want war. We want healthcare, a living wage, and affordable housing.

Flying feet! Pic from the Mesa 10K on Valentine’s Day.

Lovely day for a 10K at the #MesaMarathon

I went to a party with my friend and her new “boyfriend” in HS. The minute I saw lines, I was out. I was not compromising my future for her loser boyfriend.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

He's racist, we been knew that. That's what the conniptions over "woke" and "DEI" and immigrants and everything else has always been about. You wanna be useful? Rebuke this shit with deeds and hire us. Stand with us. Respect us and our leadership. I don't need pity or condolences. I need a job.
