Kingsolver writes only amazing books.

Such good news. My mother died of pancreatic cancer. They didn't diagnose it until it was stage 4 and she struggled to breathe. Before someone finally took a look, they kept saying her cough was from a cold or post-nasal drip.

When I visited Old Town in Stockholm, the first thing I noticed were the doors. They are so interesting to look at.

Great. Another woman. But when you have a Cabinet that is staffed by people not equipped for the various jobs, you end up having to fire a lot. Now we ask: How about Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, and RFK Jr.?

anything by Hitchcock.

You are so right about this. And like rock 'n' roll in the early years, once white singers got hold of it (think Elvis for rock 'n' roll, or "Negro music"), disco became popular. And the same with hip hop.

I agree that managers, CEOs, and the like should be paid more. But NOT this much more. No no no no. Japan has it right.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of when I met the Ravens. They just checked me out from a distance then! Here is some of my fav footage: them courting, feeding each other, barrel rolling and some of their vocalisations. They are the most amazing birds and I am so lucky to have them!

This is obnoxious!

I went to school with two polio survivors—one in a wheelchair and one who was walked in a painful looking way. Both died i their 20s. A woman in my cancer support group had long-term issues that stretched into her 80s.
VACCINATE!

How is this not an example of insanity? Why is this paranoid, Handmaid's Tale man allowed into the Pentagon, never mind why he was put in charge of it.

I agree. He does nothing but cry "fake news" when people report something he doesn't like, so the ones who want his attention write what he wants to read. He is destroying the free press & our beloved FIRST AMENDMENT. It's first because the authors of the Constitution consider it the most importnat.

This makes me so sad. I'm just hours away from your wonderful country.

Having Trump read the Bible from the Oval Office disgusts me as a Christian and as an American. But if he insists, perhaps a better reading would be Matthew 25:31–46.

When a person is so deep in their privilege they can't see it . . .

This is sad. Such a unique and beautiful bird.

"... someone could purchase a $2 million box at the theatre & get a private reception with the president afterward. The center also began selling sponsorships for the first time ... & even renamed a donor's lounge after a CEO who was pardoned by Trump after being convicted of defrauding investors."

Little Frog stands next to his father, a strapping bullfrog. From "The Corner" In *Frog and Toad All Year*

“When I was small, not much bigger than a pollywog,” said Frog, “my father said to me, “Son, this is a cold, gray day but spring is just around the corner.”

Not ALL Christians, please. I'm a Christian as are many of my friends. We did not vote for Trump and do not think what is happening is right. In fact, it is evil.

Prov. 31.8:
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute."

For 2 days we've had 80 degrees (usual is 40) and thunderstorms. Now they're predicting snow on Monday. Argh!

I went to check the trending "Bluesky issues" but couldn't because, well, of #blueskyissues.

I had to look this up. And Hegseth did quote a "prayer" from Pulp Fiction. OMGosh, please, when does this rabbit hole close?
