A herring is a fish.
When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.
It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail.
Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

How are these people comfortable being so vastly unqualified for their job? They can’t correctly answer a basic question before Congress?? How are they not all paralyzed with imposter syndrome? Red flags up and down 🚩

For bedtime we read Saving American Beach by Heidi Tyline King. My kid was *giddy* to learn it’s a true story that took place nearby. He is amazed that MaVynee Betsch “actually saved the beach,” and we can go there. The power of books abounds!

Achieving balance by taking a break from The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert Paxton to play Mariah Carey’s Daydream album louder than my family wants to hear it ☺️

In the last 60 pages of a great book, so now I have to choose between staying up late, ignoring chores, or rearranging my whole schedule bc I can’t wait to finish it. Strange Fruit by Lillian Smith (1944) has me transfixed.
