I hope you’re ok. 🌸

This is me last month, walking the causeway toward St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall. Now I’m home in Pennsylvania. I want to figure out how to be two places at once so I can be with all of my people, all the time. ❤️

Have you ever felt like half your life is here, but half your life is there, but added together, they don’t make a whole?

Zelenskyy is the bravest man I’ve ever seen. The Ukrainian people are the strongest I’ve ever seen. This American stands with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

Jasper is a very excellent 17-year-old cat, with very strong opinions, it must be noted :)

It was very worth it. I wandered around (mindful of the cliff edges) saying “this is just too stunning to be real.”

Front page of a British newspaper on a grocery store newsstand in Hereford, UK. Headline reads: “SHAMEFUL (in all caps)” with a photo of Trump. The article, headline, and photo refer to Trump’s blaming “DEI” for Washington DC plane crash.

People often ask me what people in the UK think of what’s happening in the US. Here’s a pic from today’s newsstand: (At Marks & Spencer in Hereford, UK)

In another lifetime, Toronto was my yearly vacation destination. Better than Christmas and birthdays combined. I miss it — but I don’t know how I’d feel going back when my life has changed so much.

Packaging for Maynard’s wine gums candy. Red pouch with the name in a script-y white font with images of the multicolor gummy-style candy.

Please help. I can’t stop eating these …

I like finding other people who enjoy the same micro-niche photo subjects as I do 😀

Book cover: in black type, title Little Weirds (words stacked vertically) and underneath, author’s name, in same font but in blue, Jenny Slate (also stacked vertically). Words surrounded by a vertical, oval-shaped wreath-like illustration. It’s very colorful and contains flowers, a sandwich, an elephant, and other assorted items.

She’s so pretty! Her coat just shines :)

#thicktrunktues is a great idea. I love me a good, bodacious tree trunk ❤️

That sounds lovely and delicious ❤️

Woman (me) sitting on a brown leather couch holding a small dark gray and black tabby cat on my lap. I’m smiling. I’m wearing glasses, gray cardigan sweater and jeans. Hair all pulled back. There is a Tiger-striped patterned blanket on the couch. The background wall is light blue but looks nearly white. A little of the wood plank floor is visible.

Taking care of an animal brings me peace. This old man, Jasper, isn’t mine. I came to love him, though, over a few weeks watching him along with my man companion through @trustedhousesitters.bsky.com ❤️ #cats #catsofbluesky #tabbycat

I got a British boyfriend for the same reason

Green background book cover with the words “52 ways to walk” in large white font that nearly takes all the space on the cover. Also author’s name, Annabel Streets, also in white font, slightly smaller.

Selfie of woman (me, the poster) with long brown hair, wearing sunglasses and fuzzy white hat and white outerwear. In background is wooden fence, the grassy top of a cliff, and overlook onto a sandy beach below.

I’ve heard that the Gower Peninsula is “the Cornwall of Wales.” Rhossili Beach proves it. This stunning spot made me so happy on such a cold day 😍🥶🌊

Portrait of Jimmy Carter, head and shoulders. He is wearing a dark blue suit jacket, a blue striped tie, and white shirt. He has a hint of a smile on his face. Text in the image reads “Remembering Jimmy Carter 1924-2024”

President Carter’s example of service and empathy is one everyone can aspire to follow.

The leader we should have had

VP Kamala Harris: "Today, I did what I have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath that I have taken many times to support and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The January 6th attacks weren’t just a dark day—they were a violent, harrowing warning that our freedoms and democracy are under siege.

We can never forget, downplay, or excuse the gravity of what happened. Our democracy demands action, and we must stand firm to protect it!

You’ve inspired me to look for them while I’m visiting :)

Such beautiful colors. So striking.

Top level of parking garage. Stairwell entrance with light stands out in the moments as dawn breaks over the darkened city neighborhood.

The city wakes up … (Bloomfield, PIttsburgh, PA, USA)

OMG. 😆 I feel seen …

The way you expressed this thought so dryly and diplomatically made me LOL and I never LOL. Also made me follow 😀 Thanks for the fun

I’d say the same goes for getting an education and traveling.

Book cover with author Sarah Vowell’s name in large white type and title “Unfamiliar Fishes” in smaller, light yellow font. Image of a toy colonial soldier type man which is in focus. Rest of image is in extreme soft focus, with other toy-like people seated around the in-focus character, with a giant pineapple and an array of unfocused colors in the background suggesting land and sky.
