I was a little less critical of this hire than some bc I wanted to be open-minded about a reset but man….this does not inspire much confidence.

Update: I did a Peloton peace meditation *while* baking muffins and watching the snow, and I know that’s not how meditations are supposed to work but it’s what I needed and next I’ll have chocolate banana muffins in approximately 17 minutes.

My brain is bouncing between feeling deeply sad & enraged, and trying to disassociate by focusing on little things that bring joy.
So to the latter point: We better not wind up with the traditional 2-4 in of snow letdown in Baltimore, because the ❄️ was where I was focusing my disassociation.

We are spoiled to live in a part of Baltimore that gets a wide variety of birds, and right now, said birds are all chirping as if spring is upon us.
Did I mention how enraged I am that the forecast includes 22 degrees and FREEZING RAIN? A thing that shouldn't be possible?

Ah yes, the joys of reading local weather forecasts in winter, when every media outlet is like "50% chance we get snow within the amount of this 12-inch range, but also, 50% chance our totals fall either below or above this range."

Crows bring gifts to some Marylanders, but murders leave their marks
Perhaps crows capture our imaginations because we have so much in common. Like other members of the corvid family — jays, ravens and magpies — crows possess a singular intelligence.

In happier thoughts, THIS. @atom7895.bsky.social has both said to me & heard me rant about how Baltimore's CFG is beyond perfect for a PWHL team, a WNBA team, or (meh) a G League team. I'd argue it's way nicer than Capital One, and ours is a city that would immediately embrace said team as our own.
