A Quick Note
This was a volatile week for a number of reasons, as reflected in my articles below. A gentle reminder to be sure to take the time you need to center yourself, stay healthy, and be human. We are in a long struggle, and we should look for opportunities to lift each other up with compassion and consistency. Let’s dive into this week’s recap.

Dad Joke of the Week
My friend drank his tea before so much as offering a cup to his wife—typical chaivinist. #DadJokes 😅
This was interesting--I heard a Utah local resident say on a news interview that the shooting suspect wasn't the "person she had hoped for" (being a local boy from a good family, i expect)--who exactly DID she hope for?? I kept shouting at the reporter, "ask her, ask her!"
Since 99.9% of my liquid diet is glorious tea, I ♥ the Dad joke!!
I liked the Mousejid joke better. I'm surprised I liked either - getting older is increasing my tolerance for puns.
About Tyler - I have to admit I was super relieved it was an ordinary right wing white guy. Of course they'll claim all sorts of garbage, but at least they have to cheat.
On second thought, when do they ever not cheat, so what difference does it make?
