So in The Hidden Oracle, Apollo is opening the Grove of Dodona by humming This Land Is Your Land.
By some chance of fate, as I read what Apollo is doing, I am listening to the same song.

Oh yeah, it took me 14 days to finish Heroes of Olympus.

Zohran Mamdani's campaigning strategy is genius. I've seen three influencers so far either actually talking to him or talking about him, all about who he is and what he wants to do.
NYC, please vote for this wonderful human being.

NYC, please, I'm begging you. DON'T FUMBLE THE ELECTION.
Y'all have an excellent candidate (Zohran Mamdani) who wants to make your lives better and knows how to do it!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

It's the bottom of the eight and the Royals game is still 0-0. Never heard of a game with no one scoring this far in.

Happy to announce that my third time reading the first 5 Percy Jackson books was faster, better, and more inspiring than ever.
Thanks, Rick Riordan for some of the best six days of reading in my whole life.

The only foreign invasion of the United States that has occurred is the fascist takeover of our government.

I've been informed that the Pope isn't a Cubs fan. My disappointment is immeasurable.

We've been keeping a secret 🤭

Silas and Nikai are getting a baby sister! For the first time ever, we'll have Red Wolf pups, Mexican gray wolf pups, AND an ambassador gray wolf pup - all onsite at the same time! We can hardly handle the cuteness 💕

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:

1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.

It’s time more people understood this.

NEW: A House committee just advanced a bill to cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid that would devastate the lives of disabled people and throw millions off the program.

The bill could get a full House vote as soon as next week. Tell your representative NOW to reject these cuts.
Congress: Save Medicaid Now
Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.
