Morgan English was sitting on the fire escape in her apartment, smoking weed, when she felt a pull toward a stationary bicycle. So she walked across the street to the gym. For the first time in her life, she said, exercise didn’t feel like punishment. latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…
“It wasn’t about ‘How many miles can I bike? How much resistance can I put on? Can I do this for an hour?’” she says. “It was just joyful. Like I was just moving my body and I was doing it for myself … and it truly unlocked a whole new world for me.” latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority sounded Monday ready to rule that a Christian website designer has a free-speech right to refuse to work with same-sex couples planning to marry.
