I interned there in college as a photographer. I remember I had a few assignments for the society section. Someone told me that the society pages existed purely for the owner's ego and to ingratiate himself to the local wealthy.

I was off grid camping when Osama bin Laden died and I learned the news from an NPR piece trying to put it in perspective of how it would affect the economy. That felt weird, but this is a zillion times worse!

there's still so much fecundity and enduring beauty in the nonhuman world. let's preserve and treasure it.

I do this too. I recently got really mad at work for very legitimate work and political reasons and I told my boss "I know you've seen me cry a lot over the years so I have to clarify that right now I am incredibly angry. This is me when I'm furious."

a lot of political “scandal” coverage is just the media making a decision about whether public opinion needs a corrective

There's nothing concrete right now. Anything you read right now would be speculation, but we'll probably know more in a day or two, especially when journalists start tracking down school friends.

I know a high school teacher. He says kids are terrified of being "cringe" at his school and it shows in the way they act and dress. He says no one tries to stand out

abcbirds.org/blog/owl-eyes/ this is a pretty good overview. They can dilate each eye independently! Also the ability to see in low light sacrifices other qualities, like owls don't see close objects very well.

using ovenbird as a "relaxing sound" for "sleepy time," is really funny to me. Would be more suited as an alarm

I (VERY briefly) dated a guy 18 years older than me. Despite having two children (teen and early 20s) in other states that he rarely saw, he said he "had a dream that we had a baby" and got upset when I told him that wasn't happening. Felt like an overt attempt to control me

Once a friend mailed me a paper plate that he wrote on and folded in half and taped shut. USPS delivered it!

Ah yes, every four years I gather the family around to watch the inauguration. It's a great family tradition: take off work, pull the kids out of school. Otherwise how would we know who is president?

Err not exactly speculative, but have you read Gideon the Ninth? The books are excellent and the narrator for the series is the best.

Honestly out of all the episodes this is the first I've had to turn off and take a break because it made me so angry. Just the very low bar of not honoring blue slips. Like damn.

I wrote a list of bad stuff that we expect in a way to see it all in one place-- and think strategically about which things I can personally plan for, which things I can help oppose and which things I can voice concern for but really can't control. I don't have all the answers but it helps

The tail feathers are different lengths with the center feathers being longer than the others. That's a great field mark for Cooper's, especially in a view like this. If it was a sharp-shinned, the retrices would all be the same length

Do you make the pandan syrup or buy it? If you make it, is it from a powder or from fresh leaves? I want to try cooking or cocktailing with it, but there are so many options and I have no idea of the quality of the shortcut methods

There's literally no way to discern it just looking at the text as written! I'm worried it will pass because as written it seems reasonable. I only know what it was really about from looking at voter guides.
