AdAstra, Normally

Any chance this guy is related to the Vice President?

We are heartbroken by the attack at Bondi Beach that targeted the Jewish community during a Hanukkah celebration, as families gathered to mark a sacred holiday.

Now and always, we condemn this act of antisemitic violence, and violence in all its forms.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Gunmen kill at least 16 people in attack on Hanukkah celebration on Sydney's Bondi Beach A child is one of at least 16 people killed in an attack in Australia at one of the world’s most famous beaches.

The Jewish community should feel safe to celebrate Hanukkah without the threat of antisemitic violence. 

Hate cannot become normal anywhere. My heart goes out to the victims and the mourning families of Sydney.

The revolution shall not be televised!

It will appear in the hearts of the people, in the collective mind of humanity, and will win against those who make and maintain the chains!

So in The Hidden Oracle, Apollo is opening the Grove of Dodona by humming This Land Is Your Land.
By some chance of fate, as I read what Apollo is doing, I am listening to the same song.

Oh yeah, it took me 14 days to finish Heroes of Olympus.

NYC! YOU DID IT! CONGRATS!

Zohran Mamdani's campaigning strategy is genius. I've seen three influencers so far either actually talking to him or talking about him, all about who he is and what he wants to do.
NYC, please vote for this wonderful human being.

NYC, please, I'm begging you. DON'T FUMBLE THE ELECTION.
Y'all have an excellent candidate (Zohran Mamdani) who wants to make your lives better and knows how to do it!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

It's the bottom of the eight and the Royals game is still 0-0. Never heard of a game with no one scoring this far in.

Happy to announce that my third time reading the first 5 Percy Jackson books was faster, better, and more inspiring than ever.
Thanks, Rick Riordan for some of the best six days of reading in my whole life.

The only foreign invasion of the United States that has occurred is the fascist takeover of our government.

We've been keeping a secret 🤭

Silas and Nikai are getting a baby sister! For the first time ever, we'll have Red Wolf pups, Mexican gray wolf pups, AND an ambassador gray wolf pup - all onsite at the same time! We can hardly handle the cuteness 💕

Plato's cave is now a synonym for the White House.

At the end of the day, the end of the month, the end of the year, the end of the decade, or the end of the century, the people always win. Always.
