I don’t like any of these words together… especially the words “kids” and “ICE facility.” Someone please wake us from this nightmare.

This post is a welcome break from diarrhea news.

I… uh. Uhm. 😶

We are saddened to hear of the passing of legendary #cartoonist & Santa Fe resident Pat Oliphant. His wry wit & ability to capture the absurdness of politics & political figures helped define the role of the #newspaper #politicalcartoonist. Read more about him in our profile from November 2025.

This makes me ragey. Everything about airline travel right now is designed to max profits and make customers uncomfortable. Can someone please launch a disruptor to this terrible business model please?

Here’s a picture of my cat Todd’s man toes. It’s not going to stop the overwhelming existential dread but it’ll maybe bring up a little smile for the moment.

Well, this just absolutely did me in. Good to know there is beauty in this world right now. 💜

Good gawd.

Every city should have this…

Look at these two happy idiots. #carridesareawesome #dogsofbluesky

I’m an arts editor who works for a 175yo publication in Santa Fe NM and yes, I am outraged on behalf of the people in this newsroom and other reporters across the U.S. My platform is small but I’m here to add my voice to the others out there.

OUR VIEW: As the nation’s poet laureate, appointed by the Library of Congress, Arthur Sze will take poetry to the people — making it more accessible and reminding individuals of the power of language. sfnm.co/3IoX3YX

“Sound and accurate journalism defends our democracy. It's one of the most effective weapons at our disposal to contain the power-hungry.” Robert Redford, 1936-2025 #RadioFreeAmerica

Sze is a poet with a lot of acclaim — he's won the National Book Award, was a Guggenheim fellow and was a finalist for the Pulitzer. He aims to promote interest in translated poetry in his new role.
