Too much travel lately prevents my fostering for now so imagine my JOY when my daughter who works at a humane society brought home two fluffy baby voids last night to fatten up before being ready for surgery & adoption! Meet Olive (bigger)& Pickle (wee, shy)!

This is a real shame. Teen Vogue has been doing an amazing job covering politics.

Others who are more informed than I on this topic point out that yes we PRODUCE mist but Nigeria and Venezuela have late untapped reserves. It sounds good to evangelicals too but it’s naive to think oil isn’t the main point. Trump doesn’t gaf about war over Christians!

I’m sure Nigeria’s large oil reserves have nothing to do with his sudden attacks…same with Venezuela’s…

Not just distracting. Triggering for those of us who were here on 9/11 and know we should not be hearing aircraft two blocks from the White House.

Darling Brits, ignore rubbish from the worst people in the USA. Of course England is still England and is wonderful. Some of us wish we could move there. Don’t even dignify JD and theπŸŠπŸ’© w/replies.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

My daughter was at the protest in Florence (yes, Italy) today. You know things are bad when the whole world protests this gang of fascists.
