Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.
A round, fried hors d'oeuvre sits on a plate with a shocked expression. It is surrounded by others like it, except for an empty spot next to it.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Every morning, their 94-year-old neighbor would bring ‘Honey’ dog treats and cuddles

Librarians are amazing. You can ask them about a book you think might have been a dream, but you’re pretty sure you read when you were eleven and the cover was blue…and they’ll find it! 💙📚

They already owe me a sirloin.
Practice makes perfect, but not immediately.
They're brassy. I'm gassy. Battle begins.
Everyone's a critic. (And rightfully so.)

Everyone can make a small contribution to protecting the habitat of these important creatures. Choose native plants. Plant native wildflowers, herbs like lavender and thyme, or shrubs such as cornelian cherry.
We never had to worry about fake news until we had a fake president.

Reading matters
Why does fiction matter?
Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people.
A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives.

Interior of Notre Dame Cathedral showing soaring Gothic arches, tall stone columns, and a large colourful rose window illuminating the space. Visitors sit in rows of chairs facing the altar, where a group of people is gathered, possibly for a service or event. Construction of Notre-Dame Cathedral began in 1163. It was initiated during the reign of Louis VII, and traditionally the cornerstone is said to have been laid in the presence of Pope Alexander III. The cathedral took nearly two centuries to complete, with most of the work finished around 1345.
