The Boy from Jurassic Parkโ€™s College Application Essay Claws scrabbled at the door, each scratch a shock of fear to my heart. Inside the kitchen, my sister and I hid behind a stainless steel table, slic...

"My time at the park was more than a simple voyage of academic discovery. I overcame copious obstacles, such as surviving a Tyrannosaurus rex attack, escaping from a treed car, and being electrocuted by a high-voltage fence."

And had the pleasure of reading your story. The voice was tremendous and it surprised me in the best ways.

"Beautiful Game" is another one I find myself returning to year after year. That entire book is magic.

Pritzker: Itโ€™s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who donโ€™t know how to organize a group chat. Itโ€™s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of childrenโ€™s cancer researchโ€ฆ Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society donโ€™t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members donโ€™t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they canโ€™t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake.

Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back.

If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe.

Kilmar is all of us.

Meditations on Hell โ€œIโ€™m coming to Boston, Iโ€™m bringing hell with me.โ€ โ€”Tom Homan, โ€œborder czarโ€ and former acting director of ICE - - - Hell is not a lake of fire, no...

"Hell is here, in Boston, in the way a womanโ€™s voice goes unnaturally high as she strangles a shriek when surrounded by six masked people in plainclothes who claim to be police. Hell inhabits the place in your heart where you feel her fear."

"Hole punched through the roof, gunnerโ€™s mount bolted on allowing a junior Marine to poke his head out & swivel around behind a big ass gun. Close to 100 pounds, barrel almost 4 feet. Teenagers with that kind of firepower make a lot of dick jokes." - Matthew Eidson mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...

Who Said It: Donald Trump or Martin Luther King Jr.? 1. โ€œIf you canโ€™t fly, then run. If you canโ€™t run, then walk. If you canโ€™t walk, then crawl. But by all means, keep moving.โ€ 2. โ€œWhy would Kim Jong ...

Big win! The Biden administration has secured the permanent protection of the 640-acre โ€œKelly Parcelโ€ within Grand Teton National Park. Once at risk of auction and potential luxury development, this vital wildlife migration corridor in the Gros Ventre River Valley will now be preserved!

Loved reading all the stories in X-R-A-Yโ€™s sad christmas series, extra thankful to have my own published on the big day!

Also, my sister requested I read this out loud to our family, so that should be interestingโ€ฆ
