I'm working at a Duke library and looking around, wondering if all these undergrads are part of the 1%. It's creepy.

Weird article about the rise in breast cancer among young women. Not a single real Q about why - ie could it be a rise in environmental toxins? Heavy glyphosate use over past 20 yrs? PFAS? Never mentioned. Seems typical for breast cancer coverage.

Really excited to get this story out about what climate change-related weather could do to the housing market. TLDR: It's likely going to be ugly in ways that we're fully unprepared for. Thanks to @jasondovemark for his insights & guidance.

My husband just texted to ask what my love language is. Umm, who are you and where is my husband?.

So embarrassing but that VRBO ad with the giant family reunion, accompanied by Kermit singing "I'm right where I belong" gets me every time.

Zoomed with a bunch of financial folks today for a story about commercial real estate, & they all look so put together. I can feel them thinking, "why are these journalist types always so frumpy?" cringe.
