Certainly to be expected: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is a hit and with the movie love comes increased book sales. Up "76% year to date, per Circana BookScan." Join the others in buying the BOOK. Always buy independent. My rec is East City Bookshop in DC. Online: eastcitybookshop.com

Homer is a hit: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey was always going to top the box office, but the epic book is having its moment as well — sales across all editions are now up 76% year to date, per Circana BookScan.

Seriously, how cool and fun is this: Great Goat Graze-Off?!!!!! thehustle.co/%EF%B8%8F-ai... More: riversideparknyc.org/goatham/ @riversideparknyc.bsky.social

Portraits of three goats: Romeo, Mallomar, and Big Buddy

👋 Good morning. And congratulations to Mallomar, the winning goat in New York City’s annual Great Goat Graze-Off (try saying that 3x fast). Mallomar defended his title by devouring 1.5 packets of invasive weeds in three minutes. The four-legged competitors help parks clear invasive plants without chemicals while naturally fertilizing the soil. Talk about the GOAT.

To be clear: AN UNDERAGE WOMAN IS A **GIRL**. My peeps in the media: STOP calling girls underage women. You are normalizing the behavior of #FDT, pedo and rapist Epstein. AND, you are showing yourself to be 1) stupid and 2) no friend to women.

Northumberland County Dems are celebrating & promoting early voting with personalized "I voted early" avatars/profile pics. Get yours!! This is an important race: Winner will take on hateful MAGA Rob Wittman northumberlandvadems.org/show-youve-v... #virginiaprogressives #virginiademocrats

Two I voted early options. 1) woo hoo! I voted early. 2026 midterms with no background. 2) woo hoo! I voted early. 2026 midterms with background. Both options show where you will be as well as using George Washington.

I can't vote early but YOU can! around the Northumberland County Democratic Committee blue donkey

So what do we know about the FatherHood Foundation of Virginia vadad.org? I mean, I'm pretty sure they are not to my liking ("we still believe that the most important relationship you can show your children is the one between mom and dad."), but don't want to jump to conclusions. #virginia

Stronger Relationships

It Takes Two Working Together

Started as a nonprofit to curb the divorce rate in Richmond, we still believe that the most important relationship you can show your children is the one between mom and dad. Although relationships are hard work, if done correctly, are playful, rewarding and a source of joy. We help couples recognize those joys and further their ability to strengthen bonds with those they love.

Parent and activist extraordinaire @martau.bsky.social describes DC as a parent of children of color, in Time archive.ph/wxm4K Do what she says: "Demand action from your Members of Congress and donate to local efforts. They won’t stop at DC and LA. Know this." www.facebook.com/marta.urquil...

I spoke to TIME about our experience on the ground here in DC. For those outside of the heart of the city, we are not OK. Just 15-20 minutes across town, it feels like I’ve left the country, things are so peaceful. But where there’s density of Black and immigrant residents, there are regular patrols, check points and ICE abductions. Demand action from your Members of Congress and donate to local efforts. They won’t stop at DC and LA. Know this.
