We are surrounded by beauty, talent, and goodness. It can be hard to pick our heads up from the problems and minutiae of life, but please take time to notice the good whenever possible, no matter how fleeting the moment or the good. It’ll stay with you.

The bikeway contract was approved unanimously by the committee! Next stop is full City Council on July 18 for a final vote, then construction starting this Fall. Thanks to everyone who commented, to council for your support, and to OakDOT staff for making it happen!

I have been waiting for someone to say this. My husband consumes all information via video and I...can't? Like I can read faster than video people can talk. The fact that I am increasingly expected to learn on someone else's time scale will never stop bugging me.

[Kimberly Nguyen-Poet Laureate of Pay Transparency @knguyenpoetry]

My hot take is that Ch*tGPT is free right now because it needs you to feed it your stories, essays, and poems for free, and when it’s done taking all you have, they’ll put it all behind a paywall.

@solomonmissouri Tssssh EVERYONE remembers being blown away by the food from my wedding and we paid $28/person! Food trucks are the answer y’all. We had tacos, chicken and waffles, and Vietnamese garlic noodles and crab puffs. 🤌🏽
