“I spent a few hours at the emergency department Monday to get my finger attended to. I somehow have torn a ligament, which caused my middle finger to go all wonky past the last knuckle. [T]hey’ve put a splint on the finger to keep it straight… Even typing is a chore now… Managed decline, I guess.”
–Bousquet, HE, Sept. 16, 2026.
