Happy Belated Birthday!
Happy (hopefully not too belated) birthday to kaffyr!
I'm glad that your new(ish) job brings you some emotional fulfillment and lets you stretch some activism muscles. I wish you good health, fewer unpleasant surprises and more successes. (Especially when it comes to a newsroom in a certain city in the neighboring state), And may you have more opportunities to take it easy and write. Seriously - work/life balance is a thing, and an important one.
In lieu of a birthday card, a pretty impressive-looking monument I came across while doing a piece about public transit in Gary. It reminds me of Soviet monuments to labor (in a good way)
