3/ It’s a fact and beyond my understanding why this isn’t being shouted from the rooftops every hour of every day.

2/ Congress, on the Supreme Court….

Trump is grinding everything good and strong about this country to dust and he can’t stop. We’re sicker, poorer, madder, dumber, and living under terrible threat *because Trump owes Putin our country’s demise.* +

It’s unbelievable. Trump’s compromised but Witkoff is a giddy true believer. I’ve had it with these guys and everyone who’s complicit in the administration, in +

Moi? Aw, nah. I just have an unnaturally close relationship with my books and the English language. 😊 Nothing freaky — just immersive.

She’s quite lovely, poised, smart. But I sense he has ‘buyer’s remorse.’ Awful of me to say, but he’s awful. My cousin’s husband, with his many DC contacts and his exquisitely tuned gaydar, believes he and Thiel are a couple. IDK!! Honest.

3/ nothing but a name and that he died in childhood.

2/ herbs and produced timeworn folk remedies. It was dangerous for them to have “power” or “magic” associated with their abilities.

I read Hamnet but can’t remember what the book suggested about his illness; regardless, it was fiction. The author breathed life into a boy about whom we know +

It was unusual for anyone, female or male, who wasn’t royal or noble, to have left much of a record of their life. And it had only been decades since parishes were compelled to record births, marriages, and burials. About Shakespeare, himself, we know little more. Many women of the time grew +

Sickening. JD Vance, who knows every waking minute he’s a fraud, has gotten all his support, legitimacy, and “power” from Thiel and the tech bro-dom. You’d better believe if Thiel tells JD to defy the head of his own church he’s going to do it. Sadly for JD, even Thiel can’t give him a personality.

Precisely how I feel. Couldn’t have said it better. I feel the warm embrace of my bookcases and hear the excited whispers of my books, those sweet souls: “Pick me! Please pick me! Let’s snuggle up and keep each other company.”

How large are they when fully… cooked?

Thank you, Wayne. I really try to avoid lampooning someone’s appearance, but seeing him described as an uber sex symbol pushed me over the edge. It amazes me that RFK Jr and Trump continue to believe they’re catnip to the women of the world. Ew.

Um

The guy whose every utterance is assholic, who has dead eyes the size of ball bearings, who resembles a leather golf bag left in a fruit dehydrator for a year and beaten with gym socks full of hockey pucks? RFK Jr is an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger?!

It’s gag-worthy, isn’t it.

I’m thinking the vital thing is that both Putin and Trump are slapped down. Total, mocking rejection of the “Russian peace plan” would weaken them both.

Is there such a thing as too much cuteness?

The real question is: does Bridget appreciate his supercuteness?😬

Francis basks nicely!

So sweet! I’m happy for you, Jaki. Lots of snuggly love to look forward to!

No! It’s so beautiful. Light and bright. But yes, if the Charlie Brown tree had felt a little more optimistic it might have achieved such splendor.🎄
