Greg and Ms. Parker, do good work. If you have a few $$$ to spare, send them the fundraisers way. 5100+ food insecure students will be getting food parcels. Every $ helps.
We're down to the *last 7 hours* of contributions getting matched!
We've had 446 donors so far!
Every donor triggers +$54 in bonus contribs plus a $1-for-$1 match on the whole thing! So your $5 ➡️ $59 ➡️ $118 🔥🔥

Greg does good work, including arranging lots of donor matches for this foodraiser. I’ve donated again this year, in honor of Costco Ryan, who played a pivotal role in the early days of this story.

A very stark reminder why no one goes out on foot after dark in Churchill, Manitoba. This mom and her cubs came just off the beach and behind the town complex. The Polar Bear Alert staff gently herded them away from town to keep everyone safe. #mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿

🧵Spotted While Roaming In Aotearoa New Zealand:
A young human (8?) is crouched in front of a white picket fence, clutching a super soaker to his chest.
He tenses, then...
JUMPS UP
and sprays his little brother who's sleeping on the porch.
GOTCHA!
Little Brother roaring vengeance.

Irish Barmbrack is a fruit bread and, although it is eaten throughout the year, it is particularly associated with Halloween (Samhuin) and New Year’s Eve.

Years ago, I shared a picture of this really beautiful scene in Kentucky, of all places. This woman swooped in with,”yeah but Mitch McConnell.” I honestly just started blocking liberally at that point.
I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

The beach was rainy and overcast, so I opted for a morning sit in our sunroom, looking out over the front (native plant) garden, listening to the warm Spring rain, and the manu pango and the Tūī.
