spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Message to our friends from our hoomom. If able plz consider donating to a group that provides food for the beloved pets of people struggling right now. Our mum grew up very poor & remembers how hard it was to feed the family & their pet. Share some kindness. Love you all 🩷

Remembering the wreck of the USS Pollux and Truxtun, U.S. naval vessels from WW2 that were wrecked off Newfoundland in 1942. The people of St. Lawrence risked their lives to rescue survivors. 186 sailors survived; 203 sailors lost their lives. I visited the memorial at Chamber Cove this past summer.

There is nothing more appreciable and sadder than willing to sacrifice your life, your future and hearts of your loved ones for your country

I wish there were no wars, no conflicts😞

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.
