Russ Vought’s financial and political support comes from billionaires like Harlan Crowe, Dick and Liz Uhlein, the Devos family, the Scaife family, oil daddy Tim Dunn, @Linda_McMahon, and groups including @amrenewctr. He is loved by bat-winged Christian evangelicals. And caca.

Mt. Hood hike. Some fall colors and mushrooms.

Misspelling the name of your own country in a document about super intelligence is an impressive feat.

A reminder that Kim Jong Un called Donald Trump a dotard.

[The Orchard Keeper @keeper_orchard]

Great book by a fellow South Georgian who served as Secretary of the Smithsonian from 2008-2014. In the book he describes searching the Smithsonian for items that originated in the region he hails from, his own memories, & the stories,and people to which they lead.

A poem for the equinox by Elizabeth Bishop as it first appeared in The New Yorker 70 years ago this month. This one hits a little different if you've spent time in Bishop's childhood home.

What the actual fuck is this nonsense

[The Yale Review @yalereview]

Annie Dillard has died. In our Summer 1988 Issue, she wrote about the "surprising letters" and gifts that fans and readers sent her over the years—a fossil fish, a marriage proposal, a check for $2.50, and, again and again, questions about God. https://t.co/d6ByskMiFn

RIP to Annie Dillard, whose work frequently left me unable to speak sensibly for several minutes after reading it. This essay, This Is The Life, was my entry point to her work

The tree that I used to sit under as a child is still there at the top of Donner Pass road. 💕

Why a small black water bird with a bright red eye and a shock of gold feathers needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act where harm to habitat means harm to all species who live their. Trump and Company says habitat is “irreverent”. That is madness. Thank you @michaelpollan for posting this guest essay I wrote on behalf of eared grebes and Great Salt Lake. If Great Salt Lake disappears, so do the grebes and so do we. @nytopinion @elizabarclay
