@JanesAmerica I can’t say I’ve ever looked under a bed at any hotel or vacation rental I’ve been to. Now I’m so curious.

This is Bruno being the bravest pup and crossing the River on a shaky fallen tree, while carrying his own pack. He had the best day exploring Idaho mountains. @dog_rates #VisitIdaho

Excellent editorial about the brave young woman who came forward to confront the Idaho legislator who raped her, and the shameful repercussions she suffered because of it. #IDLeg

@Taylor_Nick_L I can't imagine how this could go wrong.

@irishanthem I had to look it up. Apparently, a black flag (opposite of a white flag) means "never surrender." Unfortunately with this much enthusiasm in their yard, others who had put out BLM, Pride or even American flags have quietly taken them down.

Meanwhile, in West Boise...

@meowrissssa Girl, that is a lot of faith in some plastic suction cups. Looks like your co-worker is pretty stoked though 😸

@LukeSestero For golf or life?

@irishanthem My life's work. Also on the list of achievements: inspired a co-worker's daughter to get a pixie cut and caused frustrated grocery store conversations for parents telling their daughters "no, you're too young for lipstick"

My friend’s toddler burst into her mom’s room this morning wearing all black and announced that she was “dressing up like Soph today.” I have never been more proud. @hillsidehollue didn’t share a photo, but this is how I imagine it:

@Sharp208 What?! We need to change this. You live within 20 miles of a dozen amazing wineries within a northwestern agricultural mecca. Hardly any of them have wine under $20 (worth every penny).

@laurenfromboise Tom Brady, but not with the patriots and hopefully not with deflated balls this time. I want to say they’re pirates from Florida... and definitely another sports team. #GoSports

@momopeche @GoodJobBrain So sorry to hear that--but I'm glad you and the GJB gang are in a good spot now. You've had a lot of people who missed you. So excited to start listening again! 🦫

I don’t know who made this, but they get me. Adding to my LinkedIn ASAP.

.@ChristinaLords being a class act in the @washingtonpost: Lords said she will never give up her @IdahoStatesman subscription...Local journalism is “in a crisis level of resources, and people need to truly know what’s happening” https://t.co/HzslpTALQE

[Sophie Sestero @SRSestero]

@jaclynbrandt Or someone who loves our statesman reporters.

[Sophie Sestero @SRSestero]

Each time @ChristinaLords and I cross paths she talks proudly about how #LocalJournalism is essential. She rallied the community to believe in the @IdahoStatesman and support journalists amid national debates of “fake news.” @mcclatchy responded by punishing that passion & work.

[Idaho NewsGuild @IdahoNewsGuild]

🧵 Today, the journalists of the Idaho News Guild sent a letter to @mcclatchy management to formally protest the abrupt and inappropriate firing of editor Christina Lords.

[Sophie Sestero @SRSestero]

@IdahoNewsGuild Beyond leading the @IdahoStatesman, @ChristinaLords is a leader in the community and an active volunteer with @BoiseChamber's @byp and @leadershipboise. She represents the essential value of local journalism by constantly demonstrates her love for it. This is a miss @mcclatchy
