If I come over to your house, the first place I'm headed is your bookshelves.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Are you a storyteller interested in exploring the tales of cryptids and creatures that go bump in the night? Have you ever considered how to push the boundaries of what storytelling could be by incorporating horror, folktales and traditional stories in your work?

Truly heartbroken to say goodbye to our sweet Chancho yesterday. He was with us for 16 years and four homes, eating whatever he could steal and doing whatever he wanted. Gonna miss this little guy endlessly.

Israel calls us “human animals,” never understanding that our bond with animals is the deepest proof of our humanity, writes Hend Salama Abo Helow in an op-ed. Like all of us Palestinians in Gaza, our animals have been displaced, starved, bombed, & terrorized, yet we refuse to abandon each other.

As Prime Days kicks off on Amazon, please remember the power of voting with your dollar.

Bezos is a billionaire oligarch who has repeatedly bent a knee to Trump.

Amazon is known for abusing their employees and having appalling business practices.

When we moved into our home on wheels, I put a lot of books in storage and in the care of loved ones who I trust. That didn't stop me from making a "Who has my books" list that looks more like a revenge note.
