I'm not even going to comment because I don't want to start a fight that @myedmondsnews.bsky.social then has to put out. 😅

It's a wrap! I am laughing & tearing up. $98K over a weekend directly to kids & young adults in ways of immeasurable, long-term impact. Thank you, sincerely, to those who donated, shared, made it a dang game, pooled resources or just plain made us smile 💙

I'll spare y'all my treatise on the similarities between nonprofit and for profit business financials but I already have the op-ed -- which I will not publish!!! -- drafting in my head.

My cousin's boyfriend was oddly chill about the whole thing afterward. I remember going to some kind of musical improv hangout later that week and both he and my cousin were super nice to me.

And I should mention, there's a big age gap between my siblings and I and these sets of cousins -- like 10-15 years IIRC. And my cousin was dating a proper adult!!

This was after my cousin's boyfriend had charmed us all day with songs he wrote and songs he made up about the stories we were telling him!! I felt soooo bad. He and my cousin left the party after the guitar was smashed, understandably.

Not to mention the near undressing one has to go through for TSA security! I have Pre-Check now, so thankfully a little easier, but making people take their belt off in public is just the tip of the uncomfyness of flying.

Yeah my electric leaf blower is unfortunately essential this time of year with the big leaf maple trees that dump an absurd amount on the driveway.

Can the city council claw back this once the new members are sworn in?

The bells on cows in Switzerland is the most magical thing!! Highly recommend going.

A couple of years ago I unexpectedly got to watch the cows going up into the Alps for the summer season and it was soooo sweet.

Fun with names - it was a Rachel who got me into GDT back then and it was a different Rachel who saw the new Frankenstein with me this past weekend!

One of my cherished nerd memories in high school is driving to LA for the Hellboy DVD release party at Golden Apple Comics on Melrose, and getting to meet GDT and others.

Jacob Elordi did an excellent job as the creature. I definitely got Doug Jones vibes in the best way.
