In the last half decade, our writers have shared stories about surviving extreme heat, navigating broken health care, and being shut out of elections. One of our most read pieces of 2025 is about how kittens softened an entire yard.

I can't stress enough the importance of local/state elections that can impact you instantly.. ballot initiatives, Senate/House Reps, judges, MAYORS, sheriffs, schoolboards, county executives/councils, etc. Do your research, know who/what you're voting for. #LRP

Today is #WorldJellyfishDay! A great day to introduce young readers to Maude Delap, a pioneering scientist from rural Ireland who was the first person to raise them in captivity through their full life cycle. She did this back in 1899! #kidslovenonfiction #STEAM #JellyfishScientist
#SteamTeamBooks

Cover of the book shows the title, Jellyfish Scientist: Maude Delap and
her Mesmerizing Medusas by Michelle Cusolito, illustrated by Ellen Rooney. Maude looks out at
the reader through a bell jar holding a jellyfish medusa. A JLG medal is on the bottom right.

This work was my first job as a geologist. We tested the soil around underground oil & gas storage tanks in Connecticut (a state with a LOT of regulations around this thankfully, because they can literally poison people's water). The fact that there was only ONE guy doing this is already horrific.

I pretend I crawl out of the window into the loving arms of a community filled with opportunity and purpose."

Opening the Window

I opened the window inside a California Institution for Women (CIW) cell. Suddenly, before I could focus on the sights, I was...

A reminder that less than two months ago, the Trump administration abruptly ended the federal government's 27-year practice of collecting data on hunger and food insecurity.

Had my first sit-down meal at Barney Greengrass today. The meal was perfection. & our waiter has been working there 34 years! (They opened in 1908!)

For three decades, a little-known group of “mitigation specialists” has helped save death-penalty defendants by documenting their childhood traumas.

Take a rare look inside one case:

This Group Quietly Documents the Past Traumas of People Who Kill

A rare look inside mitigation specialists’ investigations to help people on death row stay alive.
