C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Greetings from Kyiv.
Today, I visited the exhibition Art is Everywhere – showcasing prints by Ukrainian artists, past and present.
It’s held at the Central Department Store (yes!),
and everyone can buy an art print there. I love this idea.

I have not had an alcoholic drink for five months. My mother was a Pioneer, who signed the Pledge aged 18, and only ever took a medicinal if she was unwell - which was rarely - with something like the flu. It has not been easy!

Brilliant, thrilling, fast-paced middle grade adventure. Set in an alternative history (which gives it a little fantasy vibe, though it isn't), it's like a cross between Oliver Twist and James Bond. Highly recommended and I cant wait for the next in the series. #kidlituk 💙📚

Despite the safeguards the Founders built into our system of government to protect us from would-be dictators, they never imagined a populace so filled with hate they would sabotage the entire country to hurt some others. Billionaires couldn’t make better supporters in a lab.
