Hello Thursday! Chelsea here.

One of the best times of year has finally arrived in Ohio. It’s not the end of summer. It’s not football season. IT’S PAWPAW TIME! Seriously, I have an unhealthy obsession with this Ohio fruit, but that’s only because it’s delicious, unique, and native to the great Buckeye State. If you’ve never had a pawpaw, you’re truly missing out. It’s sort of sweet and custardy and it’s genuinely one of the best things to ever come out of Ohio. There’s even an entire festival dedicated to the pawpaw. Enjoy this wonderful time while it lasts, Columbus!

🏰 It’s weird to think of Ohio as a strategic military space, but for a long time, it was. Fort Meigs is a remnant of a distant past, but it’s still very impressive. (Ohio History)

Weather: 95 and stormy until midday, with a heat index of 106. It’s going to be a weird weather day out there friends, so stay safe!
