I wrote two travel/memoir books. I edit for a living but I mainly post about dogs.
Oh is this why I keep running into young(ish) American women down at the dog park in the Melbourne suburbs
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."
Record Numbers of Younger Women Want to Leave the U.S.
The percentage of younger women in the U.S. who express a desire to migrate permanently has surged in the past decade.

This week's #lastfourwatched all starred Palm Dog winners. (Dog on Trial wasn't the best of the four films, but its star Kodi was the best of the four very good dog actors)

MOM: You can’t spend all day moping. Not on Lottery’s Eve!
TESSIE: I have to find a way to get my life back. I don’t have time for the Lottery.

Currently comfort-reading LM Montgomery's Emily trilogy (don't judge), set about a decade before WWI, and SAME. At one point Emily sells a short story to a mag and spends SOME of the proceeds on an outrageously expensive silk dress.

This week's #lastfourwatched are all from the mid to late '70s:
Two poliziotteschi, an Italo-Western and a bonkers Japanese crime story starring a Good Boy, all entertaining enough but all a tad gratuitously rapey.
