If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

Seriously: teenagers feel ambivalent about being given books that are supposed to be "good" for them, right when they're trying to establish their own tastes.
It may never have occurred to them before that giving someone a book is *an invitation* to meet them in another time and place.

I respect people who give books. Just let the young folk know that what you're doing isn't telling them what to like - it's asking them to share an experience with you.
Most kids don't realize that the second most important thing about reading is having books in common with other people 📚❤️

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

It's not even Halloween yet, and a store I was in yesterday was already playing Christmas carols on its public address system.

Although the drought killed most of my milkweed plants, I finally encountered my first monarch butterfly caterpillar, munching away on one of my surviving plants.

This grub/larva/caterpillar? Is about an inch long. Any ideas what it is? I did an image search and the closest result was a salamander, which it isn't. #larva #caterpillar

I build this ramp years ago so my dog could get from the backyard to the porch. However, she would sit at the bottom and not climb it, unless I called out, "It's Sophie the Wonder Dog!" Then she'd run halfway across the yard, turn and coming charging in, and get up it in one mid-ramp bound.

Although my milkweed is intended to help the monarch butterflies, honeybees also seem to like it.

Governors need to step up and make this happen.
It is time for state and local governments to arrest masked officers who won’t produce warrants and who have no proof someone is undocumented.
Kidnappers should be arrested and indicted and tried for kidnapping and serve the many years such sentences carry.
