I sew. I read. I cook. I train my Toller, Mickey. I swim. I'm politically left. I find mythology fascinating.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

When companies invest in DEI, they invest in people. Now's the time for Target to stand firm in its values, not retreat. Will you add your name to call on Target's leadership to reinstate its DEI programs? sign.moveon.org/petitions/ta...

While everyone is hysterical about JoAnn Fabrics closing, Trump is aligning the US with Putin. THAT'S what you should be hysterical about. Get your priorities straight.

This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a very good boy. 14/10
a bronze plaque of a man in armor who looks down at a dog sitting at his feet. the man pets the dog with his left hand. the entire dog and a little bit of the plaque surrounding him is shiny and much brighter than the rest of the plaque from hundreds of years of people petting him.

U.S. price of eggs reaches an all time high. What's causing this? I mean, is it DEI or the 2020 COVID lockdown? Why is Obama doing this to us?

Lots of folks out there are boycotting Target, and for very good reasons. But. I, and many others, boycotted and have not been in a Walmart in 16 years. We didn't hurt them at all. People need cheap stuff they can get easily and so boycotts don't hurt huge chains.

Went to a quilt retreat with Lancaster Modern Quilt Guild. They thought I was kidding when I said I was making this jelly roll rug for my dog, Mickey. He loves it! #toller #sewing #quilting

Every police officer in the world should be horrified and outraged by Trump pardoning those who beat their own on 1/6. If not, you need to reexamine your values. So much for the thin blue line, it means nothing to Trump.
