#1 apex predator fan. this is SO COOL

..to do if we encounter a grizzly bear (or moose or mountain lions) out there in grizzly country, thanks to my reporting. I'm really going to miss writing about wildlife, but you can still expect to see some critter stories from me in this next chapter. Catch y'all on the flip.

It also feels like a fitting end to this chapter that I'll spend the next week soaking in the exact lands and creatures I've been writing about all these years. I'm heading to Glacier National Park to officiate my best friend's wedding, and I'm happy that I'll know exactly what..

Speaker at school meeting calls LGBTQ students mentally ill. Queer student directly refutes it, saying “I am queer, and I’m not mentally ill.” @smtravis reports on the tense moment, a snapshot of the environment in FL schools 2 years post 'Don't Say Gay' https://t.co/seSC6EvYn6

Bluecifer is my favorite piece of Denver lore. Demon horse with glowing red eyes that just confuses visitors on their way in and out? No notes.

Trans people and their advocates have been saying for years that transphobia will easily be weaponized against cis and intersex women who don't conform to trad femininity, threatening all women in the process. And that's exactly what is happening

🧵: Kamala Harris has spent her career — & her personal life — championing caregiving. It shapes how she thinks about the economy. That stance is energizing caregivers & parents who see her as the candidate who can finally put these issues front & center. https://t.co/gDePtNUcLY
