I remember when our writers and journalists had their work whatched and censored. 📚

At the foot of Ukrainian beauty is the sorrow of your missing.
Every day, reminders of the war that tears at the fabric of your people, community, heritage & art.
Thank you for sharing this with us Yaroslava. Every day you move my spirit towards hope.

Good morning, Joanna!
We've managed to coerce Herman...who'd much rather be outside chasing chipmunks. He's not happy at all about his winter 4:30p.m curfew when he'd rather be out carousing after dark. He has this window to sunbathe in until the weather is warm again and the days are longer.

Good morning!

Perfection, Rachel. Perfection!
I prefer rain to bright sun...the smell of rain mixed with the rich humus on the forest floor...the colors of autumn & knowing that soon the rain will become the sparkling purity of white snow. You live in a magical place.

@ergoone.bsky.social This sentiment made me cry, Catherine. I yearn for connection & being part of this conversation makes me feel so good. In our heart of hearts, when we strip away all of the craziness in the world & find our centers we're really all looking for the same thing. Inclusion & love.

Exceptions: Justices Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan aren't in the same ballpark as the other justices. They are women of courage, decency & justice for the people.

I think she's brave and smart.
I wish she would slow down her talking tho. I have a very hard time catching everything she shares.
Grow to be a force, young Lady.

Sound bites...looks good on paper...unless the "people" are the most evil humans on the planet. Then...diplomacy is meaningless, just like those words.
Vance excels at emptiness.

MTG is positioning.
She knows things from the inside and realizes the house of cards is crumbling in slow motion.
If she doesn't try to distance herself NOW...so she can say...I TOLD YOU SO...later, she won't stand a snowballs' chance for re-election in 2026. Deflection, projection...strategy.

I posted this days ago stating essentially what Beschloss is stating. The fact that this reality has absolutely no impact on those in power that could have prevented this madness, and have the power to stop it now but don't, is indicative of just how deeply corrupt and broken America has become.

East coast USA. The air is brisk, the sun is warming the window where my cat sleeps. It's time to forage for evergreens to make my annual holiday garlands & decorations. I love giving some as gifts & bringing the woods inside. Sorting recipes for the family Thanksgiving dinner. Many years ago.

I just had 3 MRI's and I know 100% what they analyzed!
He's such a terrible liar...and WOW...just wow.

Trump really isn’t controlling much of anything at this point.

What you’re seeing is the Stephen Miller agenda.

An island close to where I live has been experiencing more low flooding this year and it's predicted that by 2050 it will begin to be under sea level water. It's an island of wealthy home owners. The joy they find on the beaches is in serious jeopardy, unfolding right before them.

Day is done Yaroslava! Day is done and I hope it was one with some joy for you. I'll be thinking of you tonight and wishing you a peaceful night under an unpredictable sky.
Sleep well...hold your dear ones close. 💙🇺🇦
