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.

Some nice, fat bumblebees have been buzzing around in our front yard lately, so I figured I should go out and take some pictures. The best of the lot is this one, which is better than the ones I took last year because I shot it in blindingly bright sunlight. This allowed me to use a fast shutter speed without the camera spiking up to a high (and noisy) ISO. Don’t you just want to reach out and pet the little guy?
