I had no idea that there was an art exhibit of that year's Olympic athletes. What a cool idea! Speaking of Olympians, I'm enjoying the US Women's Rugby player: Ilona Maher. She's an amazing athlete of course, hysterical on her Instagram, and an advocate for women with Big Shoulders.

One of the Substack newsletters I read is Abortion Everyday by Jessica Valenti. This particular piece about abortion and Project 2025 is a real eye-opener.
