Sometimes you just need a hug, and maybe "sometimes" is today. Consider yourself virtually hugged by Louise. (And as you can see, she gave good hugs.) Hopefully this hug will carry you through the week. But if you feel yourself needing another, just come back here and envision Louise squeezing you into a happier headspace.
Happy summer solstice! ∎

Tomorrow is Global Wind Day (GWD). It's likely a celebration you've never heard of, and if that's the case, you have a lot of past GWDs to make up for.
Happy Monday, everyone. And happy Pride Month, which got underway while we were off. That's why we're only now bringing you this photo of the congresswoman in a rainbow bunting-decorated Chevy Camaro. There's a Pride myth that, years ago, this car and Louise never stopped driving and waving for the entirety of Pride Month. Of course, it's false. This photo is from the 2015 Rochester Pride parade.
Happy Memorial Day, everyone. Because today is a day when we honor the soldiers who are no longer with us, we need to make it clear that as of this posting, the man posing with the congresswoman is alive and well. For those who do not recognize him, meet former United States Secretary of State Colin Powell.

It’s almost June. Does that feel right? The way time passes these days…
*Whoosh* There goes two weeks.
*Creak* Two days go by.
*Whoosh* There goes two months.
In the 1990s, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) brought on much discussion and debate in Congress regarding. It was an expansive discourse, and it sought to compose many provisions aimed at a more multifaceted approach toward protecting women, during what seemed to be an increasingly hostile time for women in American society.
We know we haven’t been providing you with your weekly dose of the congresswoman. We needed to take some time to rethink the blog, and we think you’re going to like what we came up with. Posts may not dive as deeply as those you’ve seen in the past, but we can assure they will deliver two things: 1) fun, engaging content. 2) Louise.
With that, let’s dive into this week’s post.
Edgar Allen Poe’s essay “The Philosophy of Composition” gives a Song Exploder-like explanation of how he created “The Raven.” It’s so detailed that he even recounts conversations he had with himself.
Edgar Allen Question: What is the most melancholy of melancholy topics?
Edgar Allen Answer: Death. Duh.
