“Lizard Music” by Pinkwater was one of the first books I read and loved once I got past the worst of my reading struggles. I was drawn in by an ordinary world made strange. It set the stage for my love of magical realism and urban fantasy. I will never give up my childhood copy. #Bookvember

Happy Howl-ween from Ginny, uh, I mean Gernie 👻🎃

Ran into this guy while chaperoning student journalists. Definitely some creative costuming choices in D.C. today.

Beautiful day at the Capitol!

Walking into #MediaFest25 late this morning and was confronted with this juxtaposition on the hotel TVs. Feels like there’s a lesson here someone could use in their talk.

This pup also cares about the 1st Amendment.

For #NewsEngagementDay CCSU has a great panel on the attack on free speech and free press. From left to right, Dan Haar of Hearst Media CT, Beth Hamilton from the Connecticut Mirror, Bill Fish from CT Foundation for Open Government and Kate Farrish, CT FOI commissioner.

The responses are also full variations on the three B response recorded for posterity.

My pup has changed her eating habits while visiting family. The last few days she has carefully eaten just half of her bowl in the morning, saving the rest for later. Her measuring skills are impressive. Anyone else’s dog do this?

Dog insisted on going out in this hell. I may never forgive her. (Not shown: the 63% humidity)

In lighter news, the weather was feeling artistic in my neck of the woods today.

Made it to the Hartford rally today. Couldn’t get close enough to see the speakers, but maybe that’s a good sign. #USProtests

My doggy engagement bait called it an early night.
