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.

Domino was sunning herself in the doorway yesterday — it’s been in the high 80s all week here — and I happened to have the camera out when Inkblot decided he wanted to go inside. What a hulking presence! Domino is obviously not excited by the idea of letting him by, but as it turned out, all went smoothly. Over on the right, however, we see how to make Inkblot look positively puny: just put him inside a gigantic garden pot. Perspective is everything.
