They're lovely but, plumeria plants are poisonous. Every part of the plumeria plant, including the leaves, stems, flowers, and unripe seed pods, contains toxic compounds, primarily in its milky sap.

So, please don't eat them.

Ah, plumeria.
My dear Hawaiʻi

The quintessential, everyman's and everywoman's backyard flower that's made into the simplest of leis for all sorts of occasions.

Or for no occasion at all.

Just out of love.

Thank you for this.🙏❤️🥰

Guess that sparkling thingie's already been vetted.
But... might be interesting if there were a chip embedded in that base.
Maybe a transmitter or something.
Apple could do it.
And you just know that Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump'll be keeping at hand, ready to show it off to anybody in the Oval.

WTAF Tim Cook or whatever you're being called.

I just might too.😢

Anybody else seeing an increase of these follower bots?

Their pattern:
• Attractive, Korean-looking, young females
• 10 times more following than followers
• Innocuous posts, reposts, replies totaling less than 10
• Sexless, no NSFW only-fans content
• Profile pics similar, almost AI-ish

Anybody?

Lots of conjecture online and by talking heads about whether Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump can / might / will pardon child sex groomer / enabler / trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Why?

Remember: that scumbag pardoned Jan 6 assholes responsible for injuries and deaths of Capitol law officers.

Wearing white made such a nice contrast against the green.💚
But I suppose the grass stains were hell to get out!🤔

Wow. An atmospheric view like this can give life to all sorts of creative ideas!
(I'm imagining Bob Ross might be calling this a "happy little fog.")😂

80 Years Ago, Nuclear Annihilation Came to Japan

Already Aug 6 in Japan.

80 years since the only atomic bombs used extinguished innocent lives.
As a US expat resident here, today and Aug 8 sadden me every year.

It disgusts me that Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump spoke so arrogantly about nuke subs.

Oh, my, oh my!
Spiritual but not religious, so what can I say?
Really, what can I say?

Oh, Lord... my eyes, don't fail me now!
Please!

The aroma, can wait.
The sizzle, I can imagine.

But my eyes!
No! I just... can't.😋😍

Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump:
"Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be."

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh, boy. This fool is such a flaming idiot I'm surprised he hasn't set his own hair on fire!

Cute pup too!😻

Texas governor threatens to remove Democrats who left state over Trump-backed redistricting Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he will begin trying to remove Democratic lawmakers if they don’t return after dozens of them left the state in a last-resort attempt to block redrawn U.S. House...

Words matter #7:

Threaten. Compel. Fine. Arrest. Remove.

Republican fuckery can be described with a limited negative vocabulary.
