All dolled up to attend the #Romantasy ball with @natania.bsky.social at the @Redbudwritingproject

As a huge fan of the film "Scaramouche", this was a great breakdown of the fight, one of favorites. Though be warned there is a spoiler for the end of the film if you haven't watched it. And if you haven't go do so now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQGV...

Rocking a Captain Pike hair style today for my meetings! #startrek #captainpikehair

A lovely day out on the lake! Saw a hawk taking a bath and some cormorants chilling in a tree

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

State leaders in both parties say they're ready to redraw political lines ahead of 2026, but state laws and constitutions make mid-decade redistricting virtually impossible in many places.

Mom and dad both came today to pick up the youngun. I walked right past them on nightly stroll. #fawndaycare

So much worse.

Baby #fawn drop off this morning at the house. I can’t wait to see who comes to pick the little one up.

Both parents came to pick up the fawn!

Our backyard has recently become #fawn daycare. The does are leaving their fawns to sleep in our yard and the they come get them by the day’s end. Last time it was twins this time it is the single fawn from another die.

Since the weather cooled down we’re out in Schenk Forest.

Oh hell.

Every time you use AI, a lot of water gets used. "Meta's Georgia facility, per the Times, "guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day," or about 10 percent of the total water used in the small community surrounding it." share.google/t3m75QttJPiI...

America saw four 1-in-1,000-year storms in less than a week: · Texas · North Carolina · New Mexico · Illinois

House sitting this week and taking care of two wonderful puppies. Our first constitutional. Axel was such a good boy!

The #Caturday snooze. The boy knows how to do it. #PumaCat

Since 2020, the Mississippi Free Press has reported on hundreds of precinct closures and changes, including some that happened mere weeks before an election or left voters confused about where to go on Election Day.

Representatives should not get to choose their voters. That’s ass backwards.

Search and rescue efforts continue in Central Texas where flash flooding has left at least dozens of people dead.

Two visitors spent 4th of July sleeping in our yard while Mom foraged in the woods beyond. Clay wanted to mow but we couldn't disturb these two.

I'm not doing a very good job with my sewing basket. I can hear my Mom tsking me from here.

OMG we forgot to feed Marlowe as we celebrated the holiday out on the deck! He looks so forlorn. We’re sorry, Marlowe!

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes. The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere. The site is a textbook concentration camp.

They don’t care about their own MAGA base. They just want more money for their donor class.

Alexandra is a national treasure, and also a thing I learned here that is not satire: Bezos threw a Gatsby-themed wedding party, which proves that Bezos may sell books but he certainly does not read them.

London today.

Good lord, this is happening tomorrow.

If you think ICE is bad now, just wait till they hire 10,000 more agents and open more concentration camps.

Weekend shenanigans

Names Laura, I draw comics and lesbians, not necessarily in that order. I like basketball and collecting vinyl records. Come say hey 👋🤘

After long days focused on the facts, our newsroom reads a lot of fiction at home. We asked our NPR colleagues what they've enjoyed reading so far this year. Here's what they told us.

President Trump's decision to launch airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities without first consulting Congress has drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers who say the move bypasses their constitutional authority to declare war.

Ultimately, America is not the big story here. Israel has smashed Iran's proxies, its military might, its nuclear program, and its reputation as a regional terror agent. It's time to stop the bombing in Gaza and to work with the Iranian people to achieve a more free democracy.
