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.

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.
