Maybe next time an immigrant here legally will think twice before speeding or allowing his church youth group to keep too many fish. I'll sleep better at night knowing people who are actively contributing to society and research are being tossed out of the country.

So, let me make sure I've got this right. The US is now sending people (without a trial or any due process) to a prison in a different country where they can be tossed and forgotten. There's no need to prove in a court that they did anything wrong.

I flew from Maine to join my mom at this joyous Cocoa, FL demonstration that grew to 1,600. The three gals (not pictured) next to us had never protested before. We kept saying how proud we were of them.❤️🇺🇸

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I have been writing books for 24 years. I've published 5 (soon to be 6), but the first time the Portland Press Herald reaches out to me to find out more about me? It's not for my work as a YA author.
It's about the cat studies I'm doing.
If they write an article, I'll be sure to share it! :-)

Just in! While the data set is limited (N=215 cats) our first analysis suggests Tuxedos may have the highest intelligence. This is in keeping with conventional beliefs about tuxedo cats.. and the fact that they develop more quickly to adulthood than other cats:

I get the well-deserved vitriol directed at cruel and greedy insurance companies for taking our money and DENYING benefits when we (or our loved ones) need them most. That shit needs to stop.
What I don't get is the hero worship of Luigi Mangione, the guy who allegedly murdered the UHC CEO.

Today, at TJMaxx I made the mistake of strolling the Pet Accessory Aisle, possibly prompted by the Devil. He popped onto my shoulder and insisted I should buy this, and then, surprise twist, the Angel on the other shoulder agreed.
$36 later … it’s in front of the fire and the cats are intrigued.

An introvert's brain responds more strongly to stimuli (like spicy food and social interaction) whereas an extravert's brain is less reactive in general.
It is now believed that cats vary in their reactivity, too.
In our study we found introversion differed by coat color:
