So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect.

So profoundly reluctantly.

But, good lord have they earned it.

I met this marvelous individual in person. I can't tell you their whole life story, but I can tell you this...

1. They are real (not a bot, etc)
2. They are special
3. If you are seeking a roommate near Raleigh you could make a really big difference in their life right now.

Does your radio host a kids dance party occasionally?
No?? Oh.
Well #KEXP does - @djjohnrichards.bsky.social seems to think music matters, & that the kids are alright (though he's bounced a few of them off the stage)
