It was a great pageant this year, and we can't wait to do it all again in 2026. Thanks to your votes and bribes, we were able to raise $9,000 for Keep Durham Beautiful.

I know it's amusing to call Elon "Musk Rat" but I kind of hate it. Muskrats are our rodent cousins and they don't deserve to be insulted in this way.

It's World Wetlands Day! Be sure to give extra care to the wetlands that are near and dear to you.

My latest newsletter came out today. It's called How to Stay Sane. You can be informed without succumbing to every social media meme, I write—and you must not let the news suck joy from your life. Plus, my favorite recent journalism and a shoutout to @karenho.bsky.social's doomscrolling reminders.

Fun event! (Look at those bunny slippers!) Beavers--tuck in your tail and pretend to be a groundhog for the day!

Decorations from the early days of the pageant. (Yes, that's our first queen, Beverly Woody in a pic from 2006.)

Getting cold! Time to get cozy.

Some news: the Lodge filed for 501c3 status yesterday. Plz cross fingers that things get approved before the government fully implodes.

As beavers, we create things...even under bleak conditions.
