Some days are better. Many other days are worse. To be honest, it doesn't matter. Living with #LongCovid is my life now. After two years I just needed to put into words what life looks like so I can come to terms with myself as a shell of what I once was. /end

Good job with quality control @jdawgsutah @RyanQualtrics and @deltacenter. Luckily, I look at my $9 hot dogs before I eat the plastic bread bag clip. Can't wait for my sales tax increase for the entertainment district 🙄 thanks @slcmayor #takenote #utahjazz

normalize carrying a book on outings so that you can enjoy a few minutes of reading during idle moments on the train or walking up the street or whenever you wish to escape into another world for a minute or two.

It's incredibly depressing to go back and look at old articles about Jan. 6.

Over and over people in power were warned: a coup without consequences is a trial run. "But not here," they said. "He's finished. Everyone will remember."

The road to cosmic horror is paved with indifferent intentions.

@MilyDunbar Oh, 100% locking your door is just smart regardless of gender or prowess.

[Emily Paxton @MsEPaxton]

I just signed too.

I just signed a @theactionnet petition: #RESIGNCLINE: Demand Utah School Board Member Natalie Cline's Resignation. Sign here: https://t.co/5vDHkcHfte

[Emily Paxton @MsEPaxton]

@MilyDunbar Oh no he didn't. I would be waaayyyy more afraid of you if I walked into your house than I would be of Free. You are a badass.

Natalie Cline attacked schools, doxxed teachers, spied on teacher training, accused us of "grooming children" for sex trafficking and got away with all of it. Attacking a child was a bridge too far. See @UTBoardofEd bylaws. Report her. Consequences in last 📸. #utpol #uted

@andyblarsen Taylor's block on Durrant just now was beautiful. #takenote

How embarrassing. My earlier statement was released with a typo. See the attached statement with the correction. #utpol

Call about Natalie Cline's cyberbullying of a high school basketball player. Get her removed from her position on the Utah State Board of Education.

2News is asking what the consequence of Cline's harassment of a high school student should be. You can vote here.

Call To Action: Tell your Rep to Vote No on HB 285
Today at 2pm the House Business and Labor Committee will be hearing HB 285 an anti-union bill. HB 285 places unnecessary regulations on labor unions and interferes in how workers use their paychecks.

@aurorabrshealis @debbieksl @kslnewsradio $400K home needs $80,000 down payment and roughly $2400 monthly payment. That means a take home salary of roughly $10k/month. Who makes $150k a year just "starting out"? Starter homes should be affordable on the median income ($32k individual/$75k family in Utah). So <= $200k.

[Emily Paxton @MsEPaxton]

Only 28%? I almost guarantee it is closer to 59%

In 2022, more than 1 in 4 adults (28%) reported delaying or going without either medical care, prescription drugs, mental health care, or dental care due to cost: https://t.co/coEw7z1hhw

[Utah School Superintendents Association @USSA_Utah]

During the 2023 Utah Legislative Session, 268 education bill were introduced. Of the 268 bills introduced, 164 bills passed (61%). The 164 bills created 39 new USBE rules, 10 new programs, and 9 new LEA reports. This is not sustainable. #USSA
