As we head into the weekend, some reflections from the late, great Dr. Jane Goodall: Let's all think about the people, animals, trees—everything around us—and do a little better in her honor.

Rest well to the "smartest person in the room"... and one of the funniest.
HGTV has a strong, loyal, devoted Christian following. It also has a strong, loyal, devoted gay following. For Chip Gaines to make this statement speaks volumes to his character. Bravo to the Gaines' for taking a strong stand.
My friend (and publisher) @mariashriver.bsky.social is a force in every aspect of her life, but it's her work to advance research on women and Alzheimer's that has gotten her named one of Forbes' 50 Over 50. This honor is well deserved.
