My bb was an easy breezy one, woke with smiles, went to sleep with smiles. She was the happiest little potato and I adored that. Toddler age was the same, she was an unstoppable, adorable little force that was very infrequently naughty.

But 7 year old her is incredible! I love talking with her.

You have so many wonderful things to love about you. πŸ’›

we can’t pretend that people don’t see color in this country. It’s disingenuous and untrue.

Or, more simply, Somalis are brown, and Hmong people aren’t.

Really odd that a lot of attention is on Somali vs Hmong immigrants. Wonder what the difference is.

Right like this might be our last holiday/things aren't getting cheaper/everything sucks so it's retail therapy

But is it because everything is more expensive?

Went to an indoor playground with my daughter, her friend, and my partner last night. As he stepped up to pay, the cashier glanced at the group and said "Three tickets then?" I was confused but laughed and she said "Oh I thought you were young enough when you first walked up!!!" 🫣

Have we heard anything from her about SPPD's actions?

Close up portrait of a jaguar’s face, its paws just visible at the bottom of the frame. The jaguar is lying face, facing the camera but looking to the bottom right. The lighting is soft but bright, showing off its bright orange eyes and black markings.

A jaguar sat amongst green leaves in the forest yawning with its mouth wide open, its tongue hangs out and its canines visible. Its limbs covered by the greenery. The lighting is bright but not strong, the colours are vivid.

A close up of a jaguar peering out between brown branches, looking to the left of the lens. The sunlight is soft but catches the top of the jaguar's head which extenuates its markings. Tones in the image are mostly browns and blacks.

A jaguar’s head raised above the water as it swims in a river to the left of the frame, the water is brown and the lighting is warm and bright. The sunlight catches across the water and the top of the jaguar’s head.

Today we celebrate the jaguar. βœŠπŸ†

We’re excited to share a selection of images from Brazilian wildlife photographer Rodolfo Paz.

With a love for big cats and nature, Rodolfo travels the world in search of capturing unique moments like these. 🧑

When you got ice, you got play. No one could make it up my hill (including me) for two days but the sun took care of it eventually.
