Every little girl or boy who’s ever watched Disney knows that woodland creatures make the most loyal friends. At least, that’s what the animated enterprise taught us. Sadly, as I grew up, I learned that while I desperately wanted to be friends with little fawns and tiny chipmunks, they’re not so into it. But that […]
The glorious, gluttonous celebration of Thanksgiving fills our hearts with love from friends and family as we fill our tummies with maybe one too many helpings of our favorite dish. Green bean casserole is my downfall every year. I can’t even make it to dessert. But with all our cooking, eating, napping, and eating some […]
As a huge fan of sleep, I’ve carefully studied the various degrees of being tired we all experience over the years. On one side there’s the normal, end-of-the day fatigue, and on the other, there are those times when you realize you accidentally binge-watched an entire season of a show until 4:00 a.m. Even though […]

On today’s episode of “Barrack Obama is the Man,” our president signs a bill declaring that the North American bison is our national mammal, because why not? The National Bison Legacy Act — which is a real thing that exists — positions the bison as one of our national animals because it played an important […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Nope, not quite Christmas yet; ’tis the season for pupping! What is pupping season? I’m so glad you asked! It’s the two or so months in a year (which can vary depending on what part of the world you’re in) when momma seals give birth to bunches […]
When Spanish photographer Marina Cano heads out into the wild, she’s going out to hunt rare and exotic animals. The sometimes dangerous, always elusive kind.
