Finally a good look at this tufted titmouse from afar, with my telephoto zoom lens. Handsome fella.
It's hanging out with the nuthatches, the chickadees, and the woodpeckers today.

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Republicans are NEVER good for Americans and are NOT fiscally conservative or responsible. Trump NEVER made America great and NEVER will—it’s NOT his goal.

The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis.
Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.

And yes, I know the novella market has changed and awards focus is on novellas that appear as standalone books from medium to large publishers but I (obviously) still love publishing and reading novellas as meaty offerings in magazines and anthologies and I hope enough people still do too.

The differences between JFK’s granddaughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, 35 dying of leukemia vs RFK Jr, 71, is good vs evil. She’s a blessing to all and a young mother. He’s destroying life-saving hlth programs & research, esp when CA vaccine researchers (& others) are so close. It’s heartbreaking.
