Hello – my name is Nathan Sage, and I am the Democrat running for Senate against Republican Joni Ernst here in Iowa.
I was raised in a trailer park. Growing up, that got me called a lot of names. After enough times, it’s easy to start to believe it yourself.
We were poor. I never imagined a better life until a military recruiter said that I could maybe one day graduate college.
After I got home from Iraq, I worked nights to support my family while the GI Bill paid for colle…

Give now to help Nathan Sage defeat Joni Ernst and take back the Senate for Democrats!

I need to come clean: I want a new Casio. Not anothe F91-W because it doesn't have multiple alarms and I'm old and I need to take pills multiple times per day, but still in the sub-40€ range.
How do I solve this? EASY! I'll get it *when I see it in a shop*.
Which, conveniently, means I'll never do, but I don't have to deny myself the thing itself.

It’s infuriating that every Substack email comes with a “read in app” link but it just takes you to the App Store, even if you have the app installed already. If you then tap “Open”, it just opens the app; it doesn’t take you to the specific post you were trying to read.
Yes, websites can’t tell which apps you have installed. Which is why Substack should link to the web version with a Smart App Banner. Not rocket science, but I guess that would make it too easy to avoid the app??

Once again complaining about the state of transit in my area.
I need to catch an early morning flight for work.
I'm traveling, so not taking my bike (there's no easy way to fly with it). I'm definitely not going to take the car and pay for long-term parking. Uber put ~all of the local taxi companies out of business (as I discovered when I tried calling them and found one after another had their number disconnected). The bus I take to work picks up over a mile from my …

Spent my nervous energy preparing for the #nyc #heatwave making myself a wool coozie for my tall cans.
Check on your friends, family, and neighbors.
Designate a cool room in your home — no need to cool the whole house with a/c. Draw your shades/blinds.
Take it easy outside. Have a non electric plan for cooling down (cool shower/pool/ spray cap in a park or hydrant— fans — cool drink).

Why I hate forums that lack threading?
Because it make it hard to see who is replying to whom.
Take this screenshot for example. Is the third message show a reply to the second of the first?
For the forth message it's a bit clearer from context, but still easy to get wrong.

My turn for the baby lurgy. Had to cancel tonight's and tomorrow's plans including spending time with my friend who's here for a few days from country Victoria. Have gone to bed. Going to take it easy tomorrow so hopefully better by Friday. Not happy, Jan. 😠

One of the most important lessons I've learned in life / continue to learn / managed to forget is the importance of "stopping." It is so easy for life to become overwhelming with all the things I must do. Work, family, friends, volunteering, community, finances, chores, taking care of my health, the list goes on...
"Life is a very simple thing. We make it more complex." - Anonymous
"When we are making our life more complex, that is precisely the time when we are totally incapable of seeing what we are doing. The more complex our lives are, the more we need to be present to them and, surprisingly, this is exactly the time when we are most distracted. When we are distracted, we tend to have poor judgment and make more mistakes . . . usually adding to the confusion . . . and so it goes."
"....We usually respond by trying to become even more controlling and, eventually (or immediately!), this just makes things worse."
"It's time to stop, take stock, take some deep breaths, rest, listen to others, and regroup...We may miss something. We may even miss something we think is important. That's okay. We're more important."
"Taking time to stop may be just what I need to move ahead."
