Current reads …. Amazing.

Recent book of interest. I’m a little behind in posting. Definitely worth a read if you want a comprehensive accounting of what happened leading up and during D Day

Germany’s wind & solar surge in June 2025 is huge.

Caves, dark matter, and more! So much fun

Loved this. Read it over the holiday weekend. Definitely worth it for those in awe of volcanoes

Really good

Just started it and if you are a budding writer like me you might find it helpful. Or at least a little motivating/ inspiring to continue your craft/ art stronger than before.

I think everyone could benefit from reading this book. It helped me through a difficult work meeting last week. Total game changer.

Erika’s writing gives you the impression you are with her on this journey. A enlightening and lovely read.

Retelling of the May 3 1999 tornado outbreak in Oklahoma. As well as other historical tornadic events that lead up to that day.

Saturday reads. Intense. Personal. And a beautiful sentiment to all the children and family members taken by the 2011 tsunami in Kamaya Village, Japan.

Emhoff’s spineless firm
Peter Navarro’s opinion
Tariff Analysis
Jonestown anniversary
Errant emails to Ukrainians (this one deserves coverage)

And…comedians reacting to Trumps tariffs.

WTAF?????

Hands off protest! So glad I was able to stand with my community. And did they show up!

Turkey, mayo, tomato, toasted on pumpernickle

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…

Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

Oo thank you for sharing

Morning reads and good timing too…

I am devouring this book. Just needed something fun and light

Halfway through my morning book (part of ny wake up routine)

Today I donated “We Are Better Together” to the CLiF foundation in honor of #50preciouswords with @viviankirkfield.bsky.social. It was such a privilege to speak with Betsy at #toadstoolbooks and order this beautiful piece by @billmckibben.bsky.social & Stevie Lewis. May it bring a little hope. ❤️🩷💛💙
