It isn’t even intended to stop rape. It’s just intended to switch the victim to someone else.

New Vitamix! First smoothie made. It has strawberries but has no seed texture - smooth as silk!

I moved to Australia a little while back and this is true - the first question people ask after finding out you are American is asking who you voted for. It is very easy for me to answer this question and causes me no discomfort at all.

My family moved to Australia, but we had a way in here. Best thing we’ve ever done.

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

Cover for Kobo Plus ebook edition The Scarlet Pimpernel by the Baroness Emma Orczy, but it has "The Scarlet Pimpernel" in pink at the top, a strange blue swirl background, and a woman dressed in modern clothes and a modern hairstyle wearing a shirt that is unbuttoned to show cleavage.

Sometimes, the covers people make for ebooks make no sense at all for the book. This is a book about the French Revolution and adventure. What is this photo about?

I seem to have become a conspiracy theorist, because I think garbage like this is being floated to make us question other things in the Epstein files.

There are sooooo many books I want to read. It's becoming overwhelming!

Poutine! Kind of anyway. But I’d eat it!

Meanwhile, Kid Rock sings about sex with children, and they invite him to their own special halftime show.

It is supposed to get up to 110 degrees F and our area has a catastrophic bushfire risk tomorrow. I love Australia but bushfires are scary.

The worst thing I did today was accidentally putting salt in my coffee instead of sugar.

What does that headline even mean? Do they think trans people will stop existing? Dear lord, they are so evil.

I've lived in Australia long enough that I can hear my upper midwestern accent if I hear my voice. Very strongly. I think I'm too old to lose it.

Oh, there's a fly in the house. That should keep the cat amused for a while.

I love my Kobo - Glad you're enjoying reading!

In the new year, I plan to jump on the sourdough train. My kids love sourdough and maybe I can learn how to make it myself instead of paying so much for it.

One of the best parts of not living in the US anymore is not seeing these monstrosities.

This just makes me want to get a chore coat

People still get into Christmas lights, which seems weird when it stays light so late, but you can see nice lights if you stay up later.

So true!! I don't miss snow and ice!
