“I don’t know how long it took—ten seconds, maybe fifteen—for the house to come apart."

During the early-morning hours of July 4, the Guadalupe River pulled senior editor Aaron Parsley and six members of his family into its waters. Read his firsthand account:
“The River House Broke. We Rushed in the River.”
The July 4 Texas flooding ripped our Kerr County home from its pillars, pulling us into the water and into the night. Then morning came.

Gruffalo and Snail and the Whale forever
In today's @theipaper.com, I had a lovely chat with Julia Donaldson, the children's author and creator of The Gruffalo who this year became Britain's bestselling author, overtaking Dan Brown, JK Rowling and Jamie Oliver. ("It's not a race!" she told me) inews.co.uk/culture/book...
Julia Donaldson: ‘I’m reluctant to read my books to my grandchildren’
The bestselling children's author talks about learning rhyme from Judi Dench, the legacy of 'The Gruffalo' – and touring without her late husband

Our beloved “expeller of evil” died last week and this thread brought joy to our morning breakfast table. Here’s to all the Very Good Dogs past, present, and future.
No biggie, just an ancient equivalent of a clay photograph that shows a man walking his dog 3,800 years ago in the city of Borsippa 🥹

Eric is a solid follow for autistic information and understanding people with autism. He also wrote a book titled “We’re not Broken”, if you are interested in digging further.
