The organization behind Durham, NC's Beaver Queen Pageant and other shenanigans.
It was a great pageant this year, and we can't wait to do it all again in 2026. Thanks to your votes and bribes, we were able to raise $9,000 for Keep Durham Beautiful.

I know it's amusing to call Elon "Musk Rat" but I kind of hate it. Muskrats are our rodent cousins and they don't deserve to be insulted in this way.

A poster with the words: Protecting wetlands for our common future." Includes a graphic of a heart made up of waves, animals, hands, and plant life.
It's World Wetlands Day! Be sure to give extra care to the wetlands that are near and dear to you.

My latest newsletter came out today. It's called How to Stay Sane. You can be informed without succumbing to every social media meme, I write—and you must not let the news suck joy from your life. Plus, my favorite recent journalism and a shoutout to @karenho.bsky.social's doomscrolling reminders.

A red star with a beaver hand print over it, and the words "Beaver La Resistance." This was one of the beavers in the 2017 pageant.
Reminds me of this beaver.

A beaver is holding its paw out in a "talk to the hand" sort of way. The words "Do gnawt obey in advance" are handwritten in red.

A picture of a beaver with the words "Together we can create a better world." The logs in the built structure have words like Social Justice, Mutual Aid, Self Organization, Community Defense. Two yet-to-be placed boards have the words Ecology and Gender Abolution.
As beavers, we create things...even under bleak conditions.
