What a match today at Wimbledon with a win for the young @holgerrune2003 in an unbelievable tie breaker against veteran @alexdavidovich1 !
I was rooting for you @alexdavidovich1
And super impressed by the passion and determination shown by @holgerrune2003
Holger Rune comes through an insane match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
He was down 2-6 in the 10 point tiebreak
This comeback was brave.
20 years old & getting better. 🇩🇰
Four GOP presidential candidates spoke at that fascist Moms for Liberty summit in Philadelphia last weekend. Every one of them used apocalyptic redemptive rhetoric (whether overtly Christian or not) at what was very much a Christian nationalist event

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.
The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.
On Wednesday, 5-year-old Khloe Fennell was shot and killed in Durham, North Carolina.
Khloe’s 15-year-old girl cousin was babysitting her and a one-year-old when another family member came in the home and began shooting. The teenager tried to shield her cousins from the gunshots and was critically wounded.
Khloe’s family said she loved to dance and play in water. She was a funny young girl who "could light up the darkest room." Khloe was going to start kindergarten in the fall.
Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture.
But today, my husband unexpectedly had a job offer rescinded after letting the company know he may need 2 days off, a month after starting to help me recover from a possible minor surgery.
We’re both software engineers and both companies are in the healthcare space. The response he received highlights the discrimination that not only many patients face but also their caregivers.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disheartened and frustrated by their response. When faced with the choice, be company A not company B.
We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go.
In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉
Here’s a photo of us on my birthday this year. We celebrated with a hackathon building tools/apps for cancer patients. Yes, that was my actual birthday request. Things get real nerdy around here.
