How are our Midwestern peeps doing? Things have been scary with all of the tornados everywhere the last few days.

it won't take much to be less sleazy than gaetz, but I've never met a naval aviator I'd trust as far as I could throw. *Granted I, as a very adorable teen, was unfortunately in their company A LOT.

Gotta love Merriam-Webster. I know they've been on their villian era for a while, but it's always amazing to see

How are our Midwestern peeps doing? Things have been scary with all of the tornados everywhere the last few days. So many friends were missed by less than a mile. At least 1 did loose their home. We were pretty lucky to have them surrounding us and not see more than lots of rain and some smaller hail. There was an update, 1 Minden, IA man passed away in the hospital from injuries sustained from the tornado Friday. Today, we are expecting bad weather again, right around 4pm, which is pick up time for the many public schools. Hail for sure, possibility of tornados, the radar isn't looking great. Though unlikely, really hoping the areas that were hit don't get even strong winds as they are still cleaning up and the waiting debris could be deadly.

I worry, too, about the vilification of universities and its long term effects on our society and economy.

Me too because as someone who has always been all about university and college I’m very much not right now because of the way they are handling all this. They have always been not great for black and brown students so add the protest handling and just everything and I’m down. But I’m down on 90% of America for the last 8 years so…

(Not endorsing their actions siccing cops in riot gear on students, or saying all or even much of the speech is hate speech.

I found this letter from the president of Wesleyan University to be fairly thoughtful and respectful of the students.
