A foggy morning here, but I'm curled up on the couch with tea, an almond blueberry muffin, a warm blanket, and "The Women's Could Fly" by @megiddings.bsky.social

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown...
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out, touch faith

Goodnight, friends.
Today was watching "Murder, She Wrote" and eating pasta, jigsaw puzzling while listening to music, reading in the bath, and transcribing some archival sources. A full, peaceful day.
Now I'm off to snuggle cats.
I love you.

I'm so happy that Carle Hospital has such pretty new buildings in town because that makes up for it not paying property taxes and its decline in quality scores.

Ten years ago today, I married my best friend and the love of my life. It's only gotten better.
Queer love is love.

This Friday my wife and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.
This morning, we received an early gift.
I have no doubt that other legal challenges will arise, but I’m celebrating today’s victory. 🏳️🌈💜

My beloved and I restocked the @ischoolui.bsky.social student food pantry today. Not visible: boxes of cereal, tea and hot chocolate, and Covid tests.
Thanks to several of my colleagues for donating supplies as well as $$$ to help with purchases.
We've been doing this since the winter of 2020.
