Well, I don't know if this link will work for those of you who don't have a Nextdoor account--do let me know--but these are so cute. A very big family of foxes in someone's backyard. The kits are not quite full grown, and definitely running around like puppies. nextdoor.com/p/PQs9Mf8hHr...

Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts is clearly someone we should consider to run for President. She is ready to fight for what is right, and she's tired of watching Dems who won't take those risks. She wins my vote for best politician in the news this week. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/m...

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
