Do you live in a swing state (particularly Pennsylvania)? Have you been contacted by a pollster more than once this election cycle? Whether you participated in the poll or not, I'd love to talk to you for a potential story! Shoot me an e-mail: kaleigh.rogers@nytimes.com
Appreciate Saurabh (@ssdatar) for his piece in the @nytimes on how #AAPI voters are so often overlooked because we're diverse, speak many languages, and therefore expensive to poll.

I know this is too late now, but if only Arlington residents had not stopped the extension of the Red Line 40 years ago. Now those same people and their families are stuck with horrendous traffic on Mass Ave and Broadway. bostonglobe.com/2022/03/14/met…

Also spread the word. 😊😊

Indian fiction TV was so good in the 90s. They portrayed a nuanced picture of society at the time. Which led me down the rabbit hole of where some of them are today. Where is Firdaus Dadi? She was in so many '90s TV shows. imdb.com/name/nm3987559/
Started watching Banegi Apni Baat this weekend. It's incredible how many amazing actors there were on this show -- Irrfan, R Madhavan, Shefali Shah, Divya Seth, Anita Kanwal just to name a few! youtube.com/playlist?list=…
Sligo is one of the places in the Boston area where I got racially profiled by the staff. If that is the "true spirit of Somerville", 🤷♂️ bostonglobe.com/2023/06/19/met…
