As an Australian Taylor Swift fan… I don’t care who wins this game!

I went to an NFL game in NY once. I had the basics down… but was hoping I’d get help from my seat mates. One side were two teenage boys who were so intensely watching I didn’t want to interrupt… the other side, 4 drunk adults. Sadly, I understood little!

I swear. The NFL is the slowest game to ever game. And I’m

Hold please. Trump wants to kick out the Palestinians and redevelop Gaza into ‘the Riviera of the Middle East’?

There are so many things wrong with this but let’s start with the alleged real estate developer making this proposal? 🤯

I should be writing my latest novella, Two Weddings and a One Night Stand, coming June 2025 in the Save the Date anthology. Instead I'm creating promo posts - but this photo was just SO PRETTY!

Weirdly, I saw someone doing this the other day somewhere… dip the pan in hot water for a bit then invert. Apparently it unsticks it.

Kristine Charles @wordsbykc.bsky.social · Dec 13

Love it!
