If you need something to take your mind off of the cluster the is the US β€” Four Seasons on Netflix. Hilarious. Heartwarming. Tina Fey and Steve Carell β€” need I say more.

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

So thankful my parents vaccinated me. So thankful my sister had my niece and nephew vaccinated. Such a simple thing to save a life.

Been listening to @maryltrump.bsky.social β€˜s book, Who Could Ever Love Youβ€”fascinating. Also, I love when authors read their own books for the audio version.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

When my newcomers ask me, β€œbut why?” when I’m explaining a weird spelling or pronunciation, my go to answer is: because English is dumb πŸ˜‚

I do not feel like I did in 2016. I feel like I did when the plane struck the second tower. When we all realized the horror of what was happening.

Saw this on another site and definitely felt itβ€” not sure if the original poster (looks like from Threads) is on here to give credit.

Ummm the fact that Swahili has different possessive pronouns based on the β€œclass” of noun 🀯 β€” thanks for that succinct explanation, Google. No thanks to Duolingo for not explaining why on earth there are so many possessive pronouns 😫 Ninapenda kujifunza Kiswahili
