Merry Wives @shakespeareindc.bsky.social was so much fun. If you need a break from scrolling and the doom of DC, go see this show. 10/10, just a room of joy.

Apologies for not adding alt text to all these photos. My cat is screaming her head off and if I don't let her outside right this instance, where I have to accompany her, I might die.

And it serves a huge part of Pennsylvania! I think I read 24 counties across the largely rural central and northern regions. It's a shame.

What job are you extremely unlikely to ever get that you think you would kick ass at?

I think I could book compelling wrestling storylines.

We're going to need a tool that allows us to change the input on the TV remotely because I spent an hour of my evening on a video call with my parents repeating "just push the source button!"

As a journalist and emerging public historian, I spent much of the past week reading through transcripts of oral histories made and collected by residents of Kerr County, Texas – where flash floods killed more than 100 people this month.

There’s one recording that stood out to me. 🧵

The DC area is full of curious people, which I find is the best trait when it comes to making friends.

This includes home or institutional care. Generally insurance only covers home health after a hospital discharge for a short period of time. Medicare doesn't pay for in-home caregivers. For the most part, caregivers are paid by Medicaid or out-of-pocket.

This continues to surprise everyone I talk to. Even if you've accumulated a nest egg, long-term care is so expensive that only the wealthiest people can afford to pay without going on Medicaid. Medicaid is largely how the middle class pays for elder care, which forces them into poverty.

The Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage has a free show at 6 pm most days. You can reserve tickets in advance. They showcase a pretty eclectic mix of performers.

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

I'm so happy for her. Does she have a favorite recording yet?

'Marriage or Mortgage' was our hate watch the year after we bought a house and the summer before we got married. We were...biased.
