Dear Reader,
The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Let’s give Hopper and Hilbert a break this week and check in on my mother’s cats. This is a rare sighting of Luna, who does not usually allow strangers to get within camera distance. As you can see, she’s keeping a close eye on me even though I was about 30 feet away at the time. After I took this picture I moved very carefully a couple of feet toward her and sat down in a chair. That was too much and she took off like a shot. But at least I got this picture.
