Bluesky, looking for a home for an adorable bonded brother and sister born in the same litter in Northern VA. Kitties are 16 MO and need a loving home. These are 2 super affectionate and adorable furballs. Help me amplify this message to find these little ones a home this holiday season.

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Reminder to offer your sons books (and audiobooks) you're not sure they will read (or listen to), just in case they do.

My 12yo is 3 hours in on Little Women.

Giving boys fiction that makes it clear girls and women have a rich interior life is important, now and always, I think.
