BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

This was a good read.
Btw, did you know that after Joyce Carol Oates posted this Elon responded that she's a liar and then he immediately began going under film posts and replying "Great movie".
I'm not even joking. 😂

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

The trappings of the times we live in change, but the antidote is always, always, always going to be kindness, chosen family, compassion, and folks taking care of each other. In that respect, my themes around them don't change much at all. #kidlitchat

#KidLitChat The main form/genre I observe is MG verse novel. And I do notice trends sometimes. Like we just had something like 3 or 4 different MG NIV with forest fire related stories. Each one was distinct. And they could all be read without feeling like you were getting the same story.

Equine specialist told me P-horses don't just look primitive, they're so fierce she wouldn't enter their paddock w/o the kind of shield used w big cats #horses #wildhorses #endangeredspecies
There's are less than 5000 Przewalski's horses in the world, probably less than 2500, most in zoos. Ukraine is one of a handful of places in the world where they are still found in the wild. #horses #endangeredspecies
A rare encounter in Ukraine: a domestic horse meets the wild Przewalski’s horse.
