I’ve been enjoying Ken Burns’s American Revolution. It inspired me with a goal to read a book on each state—or at least what is available, including territories and DC. Any recommendations? #reading #bookrecommendations

Every so often I run into one of the sanctimonious "pet ownership is unethical" types, and 100% of the time it turns out they don't know how pets end up in shelters. They think it's a supply-and-demand situation where if people stop adopting then the cat factory will simply cease production. 🤦♀️

Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.
