I let my daughter, 9, stay up a little late to finish reading her third Nancy Drew mystery, by the lamp at her bed. Is it 1955? 1985? What is happening? Not a phone in sight, literacy thriving; don’t let the world fall apart.

“Did I say you could stop petting me?”

Like leaves, rising from the ground. Nature is so - amazing.

This is Ulyana, she was only 13. Russia killed her On July 11, during aerial bombs attack on Sumy. 💔🕯 ​Ulyana practiced track and field at the Volodymyr Golubnychy Specialized Children and Youth Sports School. She was at a bus stop when her city was hit.

Consider how books are marketed and sold when pitching. What in your story would catch a reader's eye? What about it is most likely to make an agent go, "I would request pages of this"? Those things should be in your pitch. Also, follow up with agents who engage with your pitches.

Just watered all my plants, and the most important plant in the house begged me for a shower as I was filling the watering can, so of course I watered him too. As I should (Sound on)

"The Kremlin often claimed it had the second strongest military in the world — and many believed it. Today, many see Russia's military as the second strongest in Ukraine." - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken

I truly hate all the horrific environmental damage this war has caused but a)Putin started it b)Putin can stop it c)Ukranians are fighting for their very existence and d) Ukranian targets are military, industrial, and governmental primarily, all very appropriate. May they be victorious.

What??? #caturday again already? Happy #celebration #4July everyone!

This is SO cute

Every morning, this critically endangered Red Ruffed Lemur spreads its arms and sunbathes for up to 40 minutes to warm up instead of burning internal energy. Only 2,500 left in the wild.

Grey and green for today's photo here in Glastonbury but at least I got out for some fresh air again for a short while.

Happy Birthday 🎂 America 🇺🇸 🦊 Meet and Greet 🦊 I have very mixed feelings about today Our democracy is a fragile thing In order to keep it, WE the people must stay involved, protest, VOTE and used our voices against tyranny We must NEVER accept anything less We WILL be okay ❤️Love❤️ 🇺🇸Foxy🇺🇸

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Genius!

‘PV panels significantly lowered indoor temperatures during daytime…maximum reduction of ~2.3 C (4.1F) during critical afternoon heat stress period (14:00–16:00)…modules installed parallel to roof slope, 0.10 m ventilated air gap between panels & roof surface, covered 60% of south-facing roof area’

Ist das noch kognitive Dissonanz oder schon die reine Lust am Trollen und Provozieren? Vermutlich sind die zunehmenden Extremwettersituationen auch nur "grüne Ideologie". Dass ein Teil der Bevölkerung kognitiv derart abbauen kann, ist erschütternd. www.tagesschau.de/faktenfinder...

Especially the first scene is scary. Well done, kitty

I fear this cat may be too good at her job. 😼

Beluga Whale Escapes Research Facility And Swims Hundreds Of Miles Back To Her Baby. It is wrong and immoral to hold beings of self awareness captive if they have committed no crimes.

A writer friend of mine has been busy with her 24th novel. Here's some great summer reading! #booksky #Books www.amazon.com/dp/B0H2NFPSQ...

Trump sought to make his mark on Washington by turning the White House into a grotesque construction site: a dream ballroom, absurd arche, and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool covered with algae thanks to contracts awarded to his corrupted and incompetent cronies. #ProudBlue #DV1

Good morning, Henry!

Morning Kitten #Caturday

Every cat has their thing, and Mr. Jekyll’s is… BUGS. His hobbies include staring at bugs, chasing bugs, and thinking about bugs while in between bugs. This is his bug face. #caturday

I adopted Koda knowing I might not be able to ever bathe him. He bit people who tried. Guess who got a proper bath with water and shampoo today?

Jesus hates Donald Trump. Pass it along. Glory!
