At our local No Kings demonstration, I chatted with a woman who’d brought her cute dog. A few minutes later she and her brother were introduced to the crowd of 1500 as Woody Guthrie’s grandkids, and they led us all in a heartfelt rendition of This Land is Your Land.

Somehow I missed that Tuesday, August 26 was Women’s Equality Day—but The Center for Children’s Books didn’t. Here are 4 books they recommend for the occasion. Honored that TEAR THIS DOWN is one of them.

After seeing all the wrong info on Google about my age (including the charming fact that I passed in 2023), I asked it a few more questions. All these answers were bizarrely off—but I’d sure like to meet this crocheting, kayaking Floridian who spent 10 years in Costa Rica!

When a reader’s mom told me her kid looked up my age online—and was way off the mark—I checked out what Google was saying.

Big happy day for our rescue Junie! She finally completed heartworm treatment and has been cleared to go on walks (but gradually). Two months of house arrest are over!

After grieving the loss of two beloved pets, today we adopted this spunky, mischievous, very sweet 5 month old kitten. Taking suggestions for her name.
