Probably staying here for the cat accounts and certain friends who haven’t migrated. But I’ll increasingly post where the skies are blue: @editormary.bsky.social Other (seldom used) accounts: 🧵and IG: @editrix96 FB: Mary Anderson (same avatar photo)

A small thing, but removing the olive branches from the eagle's talons on the Great Seal is a sign of an insecure and adolescent conception of what it means to be a great power. There's a reason the founders put those olive branches there. diplomacy.state.gov/the-great-seal/

@itrankavump @stillKT @Michaeljos92972 @harryjsisson Yeah, just sent him a “just checking” DM.

@EditorMary @stillKT @Michaeljos92972 @harryjsisson I don’t think he posted this. Someone should dm him. I can’t because he blocked me. And it’s a repost, so he probably won’t see your comment.

Our mentally deranged President posted this on social media in the middle of the night. 25th Amendment now.

The amount of people defending Blanche saying you have to show ID to walk into a restaurant is really making me question the public education system

The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first 6 months of the second Trump administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases: propub.li/4wntM5p

@DanielleLangWa Agreed!

👻👻👻👻👻 WIDOW’S BAY (1 episode in, but I give it 5/5 ghosts)

King Charles III quietly did something genuinely moving during his state visit to the United States. A lifelong environmentalist who has championed conservation for over five decades often at the cost of ridicule from the British press the King ended his trip by visiting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. There, he sat with park rangers, swore in a new group of Junior Rangers, met Buddy the bald eagle, and unveiled a new partnership between Shenandoah and Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park. This is the same man who converted his own estate to organic farming back in 1986, long before it was fashionable. A foreign monarch showing up with real curiosity and respect for America’s public lands felt refreshingly sincere. And yet, it barely made a headline. That silence is telling. When a visiting head of state reminds us of the value of our own national parks more visibly than our own leadership, something has gone wrong. For decades, King Charles has put his credibility on the line for the natural world. Meanwhile, America’s public lands have faced aggressive rollbacks: the weakening of protections like the Roadless Rule, opening tens of millions of acres of national forests to logging and mining, and efforts to sell off large portions to private interests. It’s a stark contrast. One man has spent a lifetime planting trees and defending nature. The other treats the outdoors primarily as a backdrop for golf courses. Our public lands deserve better than being viewed as a development opportunity. They belong to all of us and they’re worth protecting, not selling.

I notice many politicians *talk* about how they hate Citizens United & money in politics, but they're wishy washy about solutions. I like that Pete Buttigieg is promoting real *action* to deal with it. Pete will be in Montana on May 17th to support this ballot initiative ⬇️

To be loved is to be changed ❤️‍🩹 Boris lived on the street for years, in pain, ignored. He was tired and out of energy, he'd given up. In the past 6 weeks, he's become a different cat. Happy, purring, zooming and playing. This is why I do it, this is all that matters to me.
