Ooof. People don't trust the news, according the Economist/YouGov poll.

Doesn't change by age, race, party affiliation, politics, or who you voted for in 2024.

They started me on public media early.

Who wants more embarrassing baby photos?

You do!

It’s a great distraction from the thing that makes you want to pluck your eyes out.

Ok, because this morning’s Bluesky is full of terrible things, I’m going to post embarrassing photos. My mom sent me all my childhood photos (I don’t know why) and here’s me at 20 and 24 months. With some serious hair.

Timeline cleanse. Doggies in the doggy spot under my desk.

And if you want any more cute pics like this donate to www.equalaccesspublicmedia.org

How I realized strange things were afoot at the Circle K.

I made a few jokes at our robot overlord's expense yesterday, and now... this.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to?

(All I'm trying to do is check some links for accuracy while I post an article. Can't check 'em because, womp womp, Cloudfare.)

And here they are. The new (used) AP Stylebook and my old one. Aren’t they lovely?

As you all know, I’m a transit nerd. And I’m a huge fan of the MBTA. Yesterday, husband took me to an MBTA antique and memorabilia shop near Porter Square that I didn’t know existed. (I mostly controlled my myself.)

Also, I got this awesome new mug.

Yes, yes, what a lovely ergonomic chair. But behold! My antique editor’s chair has history!

It took me a few times, and slowing down the video, but yeah. There it is.

The ICE agent on the left taking a fucking selfie as they violently arrest the women they dragged from the vehicle they crashed into just a moment earlier.

This comment today on LinkedIn about @equalaccesspublicmedia.org and our article in our new magazine, The Word, yesterday. I'm not crying. You're crying.

Hubs is trying to convince me, a journalist/editor, that Tuesday is the least popular day of the week. Without evidence. Just a feeling.

Cite a source, honey. Cite a source.

I need you all to see the cutest thing. I put a dog bed under my desk to get it out of the way and accidentally created the most coveted piece of real estate in my office. All three boys want it. But the old man wins.

I can't work under these conditions.

I love when neighbors drop useful goodies on your doorstep.

Ok, but also…

Usually it’s the cat, but now the pup has kicked me out of my chair. Guess my work day is over.

I needed to clear my head for a few minutes yesterday so I went to the first public beach in America and let the sound of the crashing waves soothe my soul.
