You're the apple of my eye

Today…

  • is #LatinaEqualPay Day for 2021. There’ll be a Twitterstorm at 11am ET.

  • is National Apple Day!

  • had to cut it short ‘cause we’re all running late and I’m drowning, so just the abortion and LGBTQ clips below. Based on my metrics, 99.9% of you would never notice if I didn’t tell you. The other sections get little if any notice unless there’s big news – a Title X ruling or something – and I’m seriously considering dropping them on other days. Thoughts?
