The only thing anyone can say (be they meteorologist, local, or random visitor) about South East Texas weather with a hundred percent certainty and no doubt or lie is that no matter what happens....
The sky is going to look SUPER cool.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

This week in Art I Am Obsessed With: this self-portrait by Suzanne Valadon. It looks so incredibly contemporary (I would literally wear that exact outfit on hot summer day) but it’s from 1923. Anyway, love a queen with flowy pants and a dangling cigarette!

I’m hesitant to say there are any circumstances under which you “gotta hand it to” any Republican President of the last 50 years (to say the least) but certainly I did take “not hearing about the president’s dick” for granted from 2001-2017 yes

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

i'd have bristled at anyone calling me a child at 15, and maybe she's thinking the same thing. But we were. no matter what we were saying or wearing or thinking. and we deserved adults to protect us

Artist’s painting of an acrobatic dancer on a flake of limestone, c. 1292 - 1077 BC.
Around 3,000 years ago in ancient Egypt, artists used stone fragments for painting and drawing instead of paper sketchpads!

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.
