We were just suspended without warning from threads and Instagram. We have no idea why.

If any of y’all are on those apps and want to let them know to fix that we would be appreciative.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Thankful for all of you & Blue Sky. May you find people & things to be grateful for this trying season. Praying for those facing triggering family time, are alone, fear for their future & don't feel like celebrating. May we find ways to navigate the holidays that are healthy & helpful. #Thanksgiving

Here's to the time my Schnoodle Maya knew she smelled something. Just couldn't quite figure out what. I'm sure this photo is a metaphor for something. #dogs

Saving Grace in Raleigh gets high markets from a lot of friends. My neighbor's parents even drove down from the Adirondacks to adopt from there.

-NC is a bonafide battleground, w/ the second-smallest swing right of the battlegrounds. Our political future is purple.

-Extreme GOP candidates paid a price.

-Gerrymandering works (mostly)

This week sees the debut of that rarest of things, a TV show about Troubles-era violence.

For the Guardian, I spoke with the makers of Say Nothing to see how and why they wanted to tell that story, and why TV has been so unwilling to do so til now.

Giving this starter pack thing a try.

This one's for North Carolina Politics & government (the artist formerly known as #ncpol)

Please let me know if you want to be added (not sure who's on here yet and I only figured out what a starter pack is about an hour ago).
