He and Martha didn’t have any kids together but he raised her two children from a previous marriage. So if you have an issue with Kamala Harris’s family, you have an issue with George Washington’s.

This discourse on Kamala Harris not having biological children and that makes her unfit to govern is ridiculous. You know who else didn’t have biological children but raised his step children? George Washington.

@QEisenacher The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flammel series by Michael Scott. It’s a good combo of myth, thriller, and fantasy. Definitely YA. main characters are 16 y/o twins.

I find there to be more difficulty for my 14yo to find YA as she ages out of middle grade. A lot of YA is... well, it's adult, really. And she doesn't want that. She wants Percy Jackson and she wants Nevermoor and The Mysterious Benedict Society, but with 16 year olds.

Zack and Cody can finally dine at the fancy italian restaurant they reserved 15 years ago

@lorewilbert The entire Sherlock Holmes collection (read by Stephen Fry, always a bonus) is almost 63 hours. Also the entire Lord of the Rings series will kill a lot of time.

@sydneythemis I LOVED Say Nothing. Such amazing narrative nonfiction.

@jaketapper Alice, I’m so sorry this happened to you. I have also experienced appendicitis/appendectomy-related medical trauma and it is horrific. So happy that you’re advocating for medical professionals to recognize and take this dangerous condition (and the patients) seriously.

@MrsJenRodgers @derosterca I saw this tweet and rushed to read about it and OH MY GOD

@RitaKonaev Please no I hadn’t even thought of this and that’s terrifying.

Before the next election, you might want to find a better way to poll anyone under the age of 30 since they would rather pick up a pinless grenade than a call from an unknown number.

@RitaKonaev Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese for eating. Famous pub where like every British person of literary significance has eaten

@CindyOtis_ @ZaknafeinDC I’m also a huge fan on RF Kuang and SA Chakraborty as female writers of non-western-based fantasy novels (china and the Middle East, respectively)

@CindyOtis_ @ZaknafeinDC Everything I read in May was written by a woman (fiction) - the riviera house, the lost apothecary, the gilded wolves, thirteenth tale, I capture the castle, and the city of bones.

@VRScout Is it just me or did anyone else first think that this looks like a very large computer mouse?

Apple's self-driving car could feature VR technology and no windows: vrscout.com/news/the-apple…

@ZaknafeinDC So sorry for your loss. My lab pup also passed naturally 6 hours before her appointment. It was just their time. Thinking of you and I know you have great memories with her!

@mspears96 Nope - it’s definitely mid-Atlantic. *technically* it’s also “the south” but northern Virginians tend to take issue with that characterization. Much more “southern” below Fredericksburg.

Real question because I don’t know the Answer. Is VA considered the #Northeast?

@ZaknafeinDC @FPWellman I also got it. Didn’t click on anything but definitely super surprised when I saw a message from myself come through. I mean, who do you trust most? Yourself.

Here we go. Be careful what you click on.

@RitaKonaev I have seen this typo in published documents. More than once. May have done it myself a time or two. You’re very much not alone.

@AlexAndBooks_ Lisa Ling’s China’s Lost Daughters. Early 2000s and I must’ve watched it 10+ years ago but I still remember lines from it and recall scenes to this day. Really struck something with me.

What’s the BEST documentary you’ve ever seen?

@WillardJed @ZaknafeinDC Haha that one went right over my head

@mariemurphy97 @ZaknafeinDC You mean "way too SPACE forced"I assume
