If you love animals (especially dogs), nature, diversity, humor, travel, democracy (but don’t obsess over politics) and health / wellness (not necessarily in that order) and are lgbtq+ or an ally, then say hi- we should probably follow each other 👋🏻

Sorry to hear you’re feeling ugh. Re-test in 24 hours. Might be a false negative?

Feel better 🙏🏻

Mr Haha: I hope everyone gets what they wished for.

Dorothy: Do you really Mr Haha?

Mr Haha: Dorothy, if I were you I’d put the cake down. You see, Mr Music’s brother is Mr Lawyer 😂

Not a fan of either but she deserved respect for her restraint. Ugh

Then he went on to refer to Canada’s Prime Minister as ‘Mr President’ saying it was better than calling him Governor (as he used to taunt Justin Trudeau)

Classy 😒

“Waiting [Palestinian] families said they had been called or visited by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ahead of the return of their relatives and told not to celebrate.”

How utterly cruel and authoritarian. These people have suffered immensely and deserve to celebrate their loved ones returning.

Hardly - if I was wise I’d avoid it altogether 😏 but I’m trying to balance sanity with staying informed.

Also we’re hoping to travel to Europe in a few months and hoping it remains peaceful. 🤞🏻

I generally wait until after morning meditation and word puzzles before I open the news apps with one eye open 🫣

Agree. He’s just reading someone else’s words.

Oh you lazy educators 😉

My husband is a retired teacher so I know firsthand how much extra work / hours you put in for which you often receive little or no credit or appreciation.

Well done Principal ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ok media, you know what to do right? Milk this for all it’s worth dissecting it ad nauseam like you did with Biden, right? He’s clearly unfit, right?🤨

Regardless, love how ‘President’ Carney has got him exactly where he wants him.

We’re trying to avoid the coverage of his grotesque political theatre. Watching MKR

We’ve used TGTG as well - some great value and, as you noted, saves food from waste.

Sophia: For starters, Jean is a lesbian.

Blanche: What's funny about that?

Sophia: You aren't surprised?

Blanche: Of course not. I've never known any personally, but isn't Danny Thomas one?

Dorothy: Not Lebanese, Blanche.

One of my favorite #GoldenGirls scenes 😂

I disagree. We need more of what Adam is saying. Empathy and understanding to help those who now realize they’ve been duped and regret their votes to join the democratic side.

Focus more on the freed hostages, getting aid in, and helping innocent people in Palestine and Israel who have suffered to recover from their trauma. Then rebuilding Palestine as a free, independent state.

Less focus on grotesque public political theatre displays by any government

#FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Of course he will demand all the praise and take no responsibility, especially if the conflict resumes. His grotesque public display should not be the focus.

Every moment without killing innocent people and finally getting aid in is welcome. Hopefully peace lasts.🇵🇸
