That is just the reality of this moment.

I wrote about South Korea's heroic coup resistance, which is basically a recap of all the incredible BlueSky reporting from today, and how I wish I were in the position to hoist my own representative's ass over a military baricade: www.laura-bassett.com/p/south-kore...

In case you’re wondering, the Belize City Zoo is well worth visiting, even in the pouring rain. The jaguar was out, as was the puma, the monkeys, several birds, and the river otter. Little peccaries roam free within and between the jungle enclosures.
