You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

My native plant garden has really become a fun habitat to observe and photograph in recent years. So much life shows up to take advantage of it, and I hope this slideshow I've created really showcases that.

Starbucks has scrapped a $250,000 limit on its CEO's use of the company jet for personal travel.
CEO Brian Niccol uses the jet to commute from his house California to corporate HQ in Seattle.
The company is lifting the cap while refusing thousands of baristas a union contract.

Sometimes a familiar is a weirdo you pull out of the dirt. While not as popular as cats or toads, root zoophytes are a favorite among cooking witches (not as an ingredient, but as a charm.)

What Trump's DHS officials won't say: No immigrant has ever killed an ICE agent. CBP agents commit more crimes per capita than undocumented people. You can't "dox" public servants. Body cameras don't reduce misconduct.
Trump's immigration officials don't want to talk about the cruelty
In a three-hour hearing, Trump's ICE, CBP, and USCIS heads drank up praise, deflected blame, and fast-talked about accountability.

doing that rude thing where I'm like "here give me your phone I'll add you"
all the chats are boring life stuff like 'how do you keep your email organized' and 'what's for dinner'
