The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The red cat named Pink has been napping on the radiator and has eased into a strange position where he is hanging off of it.
Pink was on the radiator so long he started to melt. #caturday

Contains thumbnail photos of 90+ books read in 2025.
Inspired by a friend, here’s my Goodreads wrap for 2025. 80% of these were library sourced, e- or audiobooks, or used, and I have a goal of at least 25% fiction.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
