Here's a sad statistic: Stevie Ray Vaughan was on the planet for 13,092 days. As of today, it's been exactly 13,092 days since he died. Tomorrow, he will have been gone longer than he was here. Today would have been his 71st birthday. Did you ever see him live?
RIP Stevie Ray!

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.
Want to know why?
Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.
Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Coral is a young goliath grouper, resident to a reef in the Florida Keys.
There were once countless groupers here, of all different species. They’ve been hunted nearly to extinction.
Like the few living coral formations on her reef, she survives here in spite of us.
