Don’t believe a poll that has Democrats ahead any more than you believe a poll that has us behind. 26 days until Election Day. Run through the tape.

Two international flights have departed the city of Irkutsk in Siberia this morning, travelling from the epicentre of an apparent outbreak of pneumonic plague. This morning’s flights have travelled to Beijing in China and Uzbekistan. Madness. We have learned nothing.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

They committed crimes and were held accountable. That's what happens in a country with the rule of law. May we act as a nation of citizens in November to restore our democracy.

I think it’s fair to say that the student journalists at Cornell are braver than the news networks who just gave up on their WH pool ban even though CNN is still being denied access. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

The U.S. military shouldn’t take a political position on anything, and never has until Trump filled it with inadequate white men like Hegseth.

I made homemade vanilla bourbon ice cream for a thing tomorrow, and confess that I ate an unseemly amount of cream/bourbon mixture just to confirm that the proportions were correct .

I had to stay on my leash this morning because the stoopid bear hunters were out running their dogs after a bear. Next, she’ll be making me wear that orange vest.

I see them during the course of the summer and had 10 caterpillars on my milkweed-a pitiful 3 stalks but it’s a start. But I don’t usually see them grouping up for migration. I love the painted ladies! My hummingbirds left a couple weeks ago.

We have been inundated with monarch butterflies. They must be migrating, but I have no memories of their being this many of them before.
