I don’t know if I’ll write anything about the new T. Swift record, but I love @annkpowers.bsky.social review for NPR. It’s very thoughtful without being pejorative, and I’m probably going to be studying it for days 😅
P.S. never let anyone make you feel bad for liking what makes you happy!

I don’t know how to fix what happened today, or even how to address it, but I figure the internet could always use more cat pics. Here’s a picture of my cat, Blossom. She doesn’t know what a president is, and if she did I think she’d assume the position.
