Great article by @joshfarley about how the Navy tackled COVID at the start of the pandemic. It hits close to home, having seen these vessels come through Bremerton, and knowing the families affiliated with them or working on them in the shipyard.
How the Navy stayed at sea during early COVID-19: documents, interviews shed light on' bubble strategy,' when combined with testing, was effective — but took a physical and psychological toll on sailors. https://t.co/YYSwO0xCn7

As a former pro athlete who has “evolved” into something else, I loved this piece by @iamroxannejones - I still do say I “retired” but that’s because I’m proud that I could do more than one thing. And for what it’s worth, I don’t consider myself done yet!
"It would be a mistake to scoff at her rejection of the word retirement," writes @iamroxannejones of #SerenaWilliams
