A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Thank you to all who have already shared & donated, it’s been an exhausting time for King & my son. Umpteen trips back & forth,3 overnights at the hospital along w/at least 6 seizures, multiple I.V. Treatments, several prescription adjustments & a lot of stress. Please share & donate if you can 🙏💜

Sharing this for Kat Jr. (my son) King needs immediate medical attention and I’m grateful if anyone could donate or share. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️ gofund.me/0b7be8261

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

Morning tea: a 2021 Liu Bao Hei Cha (dark fermented tea) from Guangxi. Earthy, moving to dark chocolate with sea salt, ripe fruits & a sweet, slightly sour finish. Gives a relaxed, calm energy. “Compassion is a verb.” -Thich Nhat Hanh

My theory: survival stories and true crime are actually photo negatives of each other, because in true crime, someone's dead who should be alive, and in survival, someone's alive who should be dead, and in both cases you're trying to figure out why

One more thing on What to Carry, What to Burn: Podcasting's devolution into chat /true crime has depressed me as listener & writer. It's labeled--wrongly--as latter, & at first seems to be @blairbraverman.bsky.social "just" talking. But it's so arfully structured! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w...

New podcast episode is out today at What to Carry, What to Burn! This one's the story of Valerian Albanov, who escapes an icebound ship and ends up the reluctant leader of a trek across the frozen sea. Featuring thieves, lice, kayaks made out of barrels, and polar bear livers.

Almost a wrap folks. You know what time it is. Thank you to everyone who worked and volunteered for candidates and to make sure folks could vote. Appreciate y'all. ♥️

Simpsons meme. Class says say the Michigan line line. Bart! Bart says if you're in line when your polling place closes or in line at your clerk's office with proof of residency to register and vote by 8:00 p.m. stay in line. 

The class cheers as you do!
