Dear MoJo Reader,
Have you been following the news less? A lot of people have, and that can be good, but it can also spell trouble for those of us in the news business. We're about to find out, because Mother Jones has a $350,000 fundraising goal right now. In "Slow News Is Good News," I try to reset after several chaotic years and make a longer-lasting case for why our nonprofit journalism matters. I hope you'll read it and that you'll pitch in if you can.

It struck me yesterday that this blog could use some bright blues, so here you go: a peacock from the Prospect Park Zoo. Peacocks are useless and annoying animals, but they sure are pretty.
