A 10-year-old girl is raped. The State forces her to remain pregnant and tells her to consider it an “opportunity.” This isn’t Iran. This isn’t Gilead. This isn’t hypothetical. This happened today in Ohio.

Today’s “What’s Arlie Weston Into”: bubbles, ice, “row, row, row (‘your boat’ is currently optional),” cacas (aka cats) for life, and late-afternoon tantrums. #WAWI

In case there is anyone out there still romanticizing writing it is largely sitting inside while other people do stuff.

My boss asked me why I only get sick on work days. I said it must be my weekend immune system.

Yes to this whole thread. It worked wonders for me, and missing the Oct deadline for PSLF would have been tragic. I also had my district congressman's office reach out to Department of Ed on my behalf, which surely moved my paperwork up.

Can’t wait!
