I spent dinnertime during my boys’ preteen and teenage years asking them about their day online or in games. Acknowledgment that it’s a real world with real friends goes a long ass way.

I never thought to make this connection before but this case is Austin’s equivalent of the Central Park Five

Plums don’t get enough credit.

Buckle up. This is the Puff the Magic Dragon of news features.

Okay. I’ll be here now more I promise. Even the juicy gossip on X is getting to be too much.

Floatato MUST win Fat Bear Week. Watch him get fatter and fatter over this summer. He's a sight to behold! #fatbearweek youtu.be/TVmdJKTWzH0?...

I think I’m going to start saying you did the thing I definitely did. Seems to work for other people.

Tonight I walked my dog in the fog and my flashlight cut out so I banged on the side of it just like they do in scary movies and when it came back on I was sure a creepy zombie would be standing there. Sorry for venting.

I’m looking for a dress to wear to my son’s wedding and this is the age of the models they have for all the “mother” dresses lol

Planted some wild milkweed a few years ago and we are gonna have a LOT of monarch butterflies, judging by the quantity of eggs

This coyote bow just hangs out behind my house

Some of the right people are rightly getting roasted on this website right now.

Guys. Pray for me. (See next post.)

Don’t miss @reblavoie.bsky.social’s #civics101 on @nhpr.org podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

It’s always been kind of wild to me that some people insist that English. a language from and literally named for another country, is the only true and purely American language.

Welcome to Birder King. How can we help you?

One of my dogs likes to run in circles around our house and this is what that looks like

One is hanging out like a person and the other is definitely not dead, I promise.

Officially found the very best sleep playlist. Stupid birds.

Great conversation with Rebecca.

Listen to my longform audio interview with Aidan Kearney (AKA Turtlebo about all kind of things - the Read case and beyond. @inbetweenpod.bsky.social joined me and it's really fantastic. #KarenRead @turtleboydailynews.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/readat...

Trying to go to bed but

What the hell kind of loud ass bird is this

This woodpecker is a real pig

Ruby in the city! I’ll be recording #TheReadathon with @reblavoie.bsky.social tonight from #NYC! What’d I miss? 🫠 @crimewriterson.com #truecrime #karenread #poddog

I’m thrilled to be married to a guy that appreciates General Hospital’s summer pool set.

I can’t stop watching @kevinpflynn.bsky.social ‘s reaction to a baby bear climbing down one of our trees.

Just landed after a getaway in Ft. Lauderdale and GUYS THERE WERE SHARKS.

I judge people based on the likelihood they’ll say they “think,” “have a gut feeling,” or “believe” a person accused of a crime is guilty and have no curiosity or skepticism behind that. I own that about myself.

Proud to be ID’ed as a feminist by Turtleboy, who agrees with me that we agree on very little except the Karen Read case, which is unifying across political lines. (Around 1h34m) I continue to stand by the fact that he is astonishingly well-sourced, despite whatever else you might think about him.

Another Tom Cruise movie = another bunch of media where we’re all pretending he’s not a literal cult leader.

Heading home in Atlanta traffic. Thank goodness there's a new Readathon from @reblavoie.bsky.social and @inbetweenpod.bsky.social to entertain me!

Who here has experience with suddenly getting horrible and regular headaches in you’re 50s when you’ve never had them before?

I woke my husband @kevinpflynn.bsky.social up at 5 a.m. to tell him the Taylor Swift news. He was thrilled.

Not to be corny but I used to carry these dudes around

Happy leave-me-alone day for all those who celebrate!

Happy puppers day!

As of today all three of my kids are college grads (and employed). Way ahead of me when I was their age.

Wut

What in the actual Constitutional crisis… www.huffpost.com/entry/stephe...

Watching this trial every day! If you want a daily breakdown listen to the @crimewriterson.com podcast episodes about the case. @reblavoie.bsky.social makes semi daily episodes about what happens in court.

Deck dogs are back!

Here’s what I think could have happened to John O’Keefe - and we made this one available to listen to for free: www.patreon.com/posts/127854...

So we aren’t talking about the president saying he wants to be the next pope?
