She is serving a 15-year sentence when what the jail did was more endangering to the baby than what she did. Heinous.

To be shot in the face and still return to protesting against injustice is the height of bravery and dedication.

Mission of Gravity by Hal Clement has sentient centipede-like aliens. A very good book even 70 years later.

Exposure to nature is healing and soothing. People recovering in hospitals spend a lot of time waiting. I think it would be great if live nature cam feeds were made available in hospitals and patients could text to a number when species appear or events happen.

A portion of the screen would display the picture and name of the species to look out for and the code you need to text to the number.
