I have lived many places; broad charitable views are not learned by living in one’s small corner of the world.
May my life end filled w/ moments when I lived up to/deserved my dogs’ adoration.
A week from today is Election Day, and wolves need your voice now more than ever. The people we elect help shape the laws and policies that determine wolves futures.

Watching a blade peel off a clean sheet of wood or two joints lock together with zero gap is weirdly soothing. Here is why craftsmanship hits that satisfying spot in the brain.
Ten years ago today.
In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...
Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations.
He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."
Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."
If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic.
The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate.
He’s a piece of Schitt.
I'm not the kind to say it all points back to a single historical episode, but so much of what Trump is doing with ballroom & Kennedy Center—the wanton destruction, the callous indifference to the past—was evident when he destroyed Bonwit Teller's irreplaceable sculptures nearly a half-century ago
"The trustees should let the center close, declare bankruptcy, and come to a sad end—all on Trump’s watch. Allow the Kennedy Center to fail in full view of the American public, and let them decide whether such things matter."
Tom Nichols says Americans shouldn't bend to the hostage taker's demands.
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.
Kakistocracy: A kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people
There we have it.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
