Did you read about the real life group of dogs who rescued themselves from kidnappers? I'm querying a lower middle grade with very similar elements! Inside every ‘bad’ dog is a good pupper waiting to be found. #amquerying DM me if interested.

All these videos about Mississippi are healing my soul but this one almost made me throw up I was laugh-screaming the entire time 💀

National parks have hiking trails for everyone, from “I climb mountains for breakfast” to “I just tripped on a curb.”

"If we regulate politicians more, it'll be harder for them to serve special interests and insiders, and it'll be easier to have public servants run and win who actually just want to do work." Iowa Gov.-elect Rob Sand (D) calls for regulating the political revolving door.

Annuals that are still going strong in the garden this November 5th. Blue Flossflower (ageratum) and red Lantana. I need to find the tag for the lantana to remember the specific variety. I cut them both back around the first of July when we were going to be gone for 3 weeks and unable to water them. I think that helped. #gardening

Pope Leo and Bob Dylan look like they're starring in an early '90s CBS drama in which two priests - one by the book and one who does things his own way - try to solve mysteries in their seemingly sleepy Midwestern town that hides a seedy underbelly.

Canada just lit up Niagara Falls Blue showing their solidarity with Democrats and it feels so good to know that they stand with us.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Niagara Falls was lit teal on Nov 3rd for Alzheimer awareness, as per their illumination schedule. niagaraparks.com/events/falls-i…

We've been hearing multiple reports that there is a 'd' in 'handkerchief.' We're monitoring the situation.

Atlanta friends dressed as Waymo self-driving cars for Halloween, and even the cops stopped to watch. One of them got stuck in a hedge. Obviously.

Two different emails/texts from editors at “Chronicle.” I responded to each asking if they knew each other. :)

The trickiest part of working full-time with children in school is managing childcare for all the MANY days they have off for things like teacher-in-service days and regular vacation days, and who is going to care for them when they are ill. Children get sick more than you'd expect. and illnesses seem to spring up in the middle of the night so you only have a short time to plan.
Replying to @lymanstoneky
Small kids at home is hard. Homeschooling is hard. Managing a tight budget for a family is hard. Being a middle class SAHM with no small kids at home and no schooling duties is objectively a very leisurely lifestyle most people would wish to have if they could find someone to pay for it.

One of my husband’s more unusual talents is building stone pathways. This one has had the moss fill in beautifully.

I'm very very sad tonight. I just learned that Stephen Biesty passed away in 2024 at 63... He is one of my favorite artist. Rest in peace.

Second scammer this week. Someone pretending to be a film rights agent at @NewLeafLiterary. Email is from a gmail account though, not their official domain email. Writers, watch out!

The world is on fire, but my neighbor has a massive cat named Maximus, a regular sized cat named Mediumus, and a little kitten named Minimus.
