I've spent the better part of this rainy day trying to convince my Great Pyrenees that getting his feet wet will, in fact, NOT kill him, but that it WILL build character. We're on hour 28 without a potty. Jesus take the wheel.

Tennessee's second botched execution in five months isn't a glitch anymore; it's a pattern. Whatever you think about the death penalty, a state that can't carry out its own sentence competently has a problem. A big one.

A bear named Backpack just won Fat Bear Week in Alaska. I'd like the record to show I ALSO ate my way into a bigger pair of pants this year and nobody gave me a trophy. #gypped

I just spent a little time on https://t.co/8iHIEtP5Zm and I gotta say, it's pretty wild. Everything government all in one place? No more chasing down info from different sites? Why didn't anyone do this before? I'm looking forward to discovering more.

She was supposed to be the first female executed in Tennessee in 200 years. Instead, Christa Pike’s execution was halted about an hour before it was scheduled so a federal appeals court can further examine whether her childhood sexual abuse was adequately considered at sentencing. She was convicted of murdering 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in 1995. At what point does explaining a murderer’s past start swallowing the victim whole? Plenty of women have survived abuse, neglect, terrible childhoods, violence and trauma without murdering their children, friends or anyone else. Trauma may help explain someone. It does not erase what they chose to do. We seem increasingly eager to search for reasons to soften our view of women who commit horrific crimes, while the people they killed become footnotes. Colleen Slemmer had a life, too. She had a past, a family and a future. She never got 30 more years to heal, grow, apologize or reinvent herself. Compassion matters. Context matters. But so does accountability. And somewhere along the way, we need to remember who the victim actually was.
