My h keeps his beard short and neatly groomed, and I love it. He’s shaved it clean one time in the 12 years we’ve been together and I was shook. Lol.
I vote forward baseball cap. Unless h is doing something with his motorcycle and turns it backwards, then hot.
He also still wears flat brimmed hats and I LOVE them on him. His friends have teased him that he’s too old, but I think they look so good.
H has dimples and an absolute baby face when he is clean shaven. He's done Movember the last few years and I hate the first week of November. I look 35+ and he looks 20. I'll even take the mustache over completely clean shaven. I like it best when he has a nicely trimmed beard.
Also, I like the flat brimmed hats too! He has a lot of trash hats that he wears to work (which are hot in their own way because he does physical labour all day), but his nice "going out" hats are usually flat brimmed Blue Jays hats. Definitely my favourite.
Fuck our county commissioners. They're trying to remove next year's budget increase for our county library in retaliation for librarians protesting book bans. And reinstate late fines for adults. I hate ringleader so much.
It’s so awesome though to see how many people are taking action. I hope somehow they knock off one of the commissioners who voted in favor of the cut.
wawa I decided to vote for Alsobrooks. I just can't get behind a rich white dude buying himself a Senate seat. I'm also icked out by the "I don't need someone who looks like me, I need someone who will fight for me" narrative of some of his ads.
I will absolutely support him in then general if need be, but I am hoping I won't have to.
I’m not, but I’m really interested to see who wins. Elfreth has been a HUGE help to some of our BOE candidates already, and even though my county is a very small part of that district.
I am annoyed at the amount of money being spent on her behalf (the PAC money is weird, not that she can control that), but she seems like she WORKS. Doing that politician hustle in a way that actually means getting things done, not just shaking hands and making appearances. The sheer volume of her record at the state level is pretty impressive for a freshman. I do love that.
Such a huge field though.
She does! And she promised to continue to help our BOE candidates whether she wins the primary or not.
my fellow marylanders - are any of you in the district with me where you're ALSO getting literally DAILY elfreth mailers? it's OUT OF CONTROL. so much fucking mail.

I have to figure out who the fuck I'm voting for in the "biggest" primary maryland has had in a long ass time.
Most notably....need to figure out who has the best chance of taking out our annoyingly popular "centrist" republican ex-govenor in the senate race and I truly do not know what the right answer is.
Same, ugh, I still haven’t made up my mind. I don’t really want to vote for Trone, but Alsobrooks has had zero outreach to my county, and I don’t think her chances of winning are good if she doesn’t run a full state campaign like Wes Moore did.
I’m feeling very jittery this morning and not sure why. I can’t focus for shit.
I’m requesting a reasonable accommodation of full time telework. My boss is supportive, but I’m anxious about my dr’s appointment about it on Friday. I need good documentation for him to approve it.
We had what I just found out was a gang-related shooting incident right behind my house Sunday evening. We saw all the cop cars on our cul de sac and I knew some of the roads were blocked, but never expected it to be gang related. Logically, I know things can happen anywhere, but we’re in a pretty rural area. It’s shaken me up a bit.
Things are good, though! I'm back in the office three days a week, which sucks, but I'll get used to it. And we just confirmed our 4th exchange student, another girl from Germany!
So is everyone voting for Trone or Alsobrooks? I’m undecided but leaning Alsobrooks.
I'm alsobrooks but will finalize closer to. It would take a lot for me to vote for an annoying rich white man over a black woman though, given that fundamentally their stances are similar.
I’ve lost about 25 pounds since last January on Wegovy, which isn’t nothing but….I’d like to have lost more. I’ve definitely hit a stall these last few months, and I’m on the highest dose. It just doesn’t feel as effective anymore.
I’d love to switch to Zepbound, but my insurance won’t cover it unless I try three other meds first.
Two seats are up this year, and we have two INCREDIBLE candidates, and two M4L candidates.
Last cycle, we had three amazing candidates for three open positions. One won, but the other two seats went to M4L candidates.
It’s incredibly frustrating, and makes me want to move, but also makes me want to stay and keep fighting.
Amanda with the last name I'm going to misspell is running again, yes? And is the second person the same guy who ran last time? I voted for both (and Dorsey) and I was SO MAD M4L won. And Whisler (Whistler?) is a dick.
Yes, Amanda has formed a slate with Muri Dueppen, Slate for Student Success. Muri is a long-time education advocate.
