3 guesses; 4 yellow boxes. #Wordle as metaphor for my life at moment. Can’t find a green box to anchor a strategic direction. Stuck and puzzled. In game & life.

@cigna where do I send my bill for my time to move prescriptions to Express Scripts from my preferred local pharmacy (@Hannaford). I’m sure this move saves you $ while reducing competition. #annoyed

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

We did the #Barbenheimer AND early drop of #StrangeNewWorlds 😁💕👍🏻

You know who also learned valuable skills? Free people. And unlike the enslaved, those free people could keep the $ from those skills, they could buy property with those skills instead of be property, they could support their families instead of have their children sold from them

Shout out to our desk for this print hed today. One-col heds (a fading print concept) are tough to write well:

I didn’t know how much I need a Janeway rubber ducky until this very moment! Oh also #SaveStarTrekProdigy! #KathrynJaneway #rubberducky #StarTrekVoyager #KateMulgrew

Can Ron DeSantis explain how being enslaved was beneficial to Celia? In 1850, a fourteen-year-old girl in Missouri named Celia was purchased by enslaver, Robert Newsom. Over the course of five years, he repeatedly raped her. On June 23, 1855 while pregnant with her second child, Celia defended herself against more abuse, resulting in the death of her enslaver and rapist. During Celia’s trial, Newsom’s grandson William Powell testified. Powell testified that Celia had complained that Newsom repeatedly demanded sex and that she had approached other Newsom family members in a vain attempt to stop the rapes.  Powell also admitted that Celia told him that her attack on Newsom came from desperation and that she only intended to injure, not kill. Celia was found guilty. An appeal was filed. The Missouri Supreme Court ultimately ruled against her appeal. On December 21, 1855 at 2:30 P.M., the state of Missouri murdered Celia on the gallows. Are we going to teach children this history? Or are we going to continue to whitewash history because it makes some people uncomfortable?

Wild and really sad story from the Plains, Va. washingtonpost.com/food/interacti…

WATCH 👀 Tygart Mountain Sports is in Ludlow, VT, and one of their security cameras captured the flash flooding that filled this town Monday. This video is in real time, highlighting how dangerous flash floods truly can be. @weatherchannel continues live coverage in Vermont.

Here’s @ItsMichelleHurd speaking the truth.

Burlington's refugee farmers have lost an entire season of crops that were intended to feed their households for the year. Many of the crops they grow are not available for purchase in local grocery stores. My latest for @vtdigger vtdigger.org/2023/07/14/bur…

No, this is not a timelapse - just a very angry Mother Nature coming through #montreal #montrealstorm #mtl #montrealtornado

As we transition to the recovery phase of our response, on Monday, I will welcome @SecretaryPete to Vermont to evaluate damage to our roads and bridges and talk about how we will rebuild our infrastructure. I appreciate the close collaboration with our federal partners.
