as I just wrote to @solange-fairwell.bsky.social in a brief email: I just finished watching "Breath of Fire" on HBO/Max and all I can say is HO LY S H I T B A L L S

Watching "Breath of Fire," I was thinking Guru Bhajan created a Scientology-like empire but toward the end of ep 3 we see the nitty-gritty of his sick degenerate lifestyle. He preached health & fitness thru yoga & vegetarian diet while eating Taco Bell & doing unspeakable things to young girls. #UGH

frickin' amazing article, well written & heartbreaking. My late husband was a gambler, MLB + football were his happy places, he once printed out pages & pages of single-spaced baseball bets. Multiple games per day. he'd've gone crazy w/online phone betting had he lived to see it.

when my daughter Vivian was little she used to say "gayo" for girl & I'd ask her if she was a little boy or a little girl and she'd say "I a gayo" and I'd say oh you're a little boy? and she'd say "no Mama I a gayo" and I couldn't get enough of hearing it.

so my grandson's name is Walker and my daughter calls him Walkie and his not-quite-three-year-old language skills means he refers to himself as Yalkie and I am already sad that he will eventually matriculate to calling himself Walkie. I mean, I'll be glad for him but sad for the cuteness of it all.

I bring a bag of sunflower seeds to every job interview and while answering questions I pop the seeds in my mouth whole and chew them and spit the shell fragments on the floor of the office and I have never been turned down for a job, so

I... this analogy actually 'hits' for me, thank you. Baseball's steroid era really bothered me, just from a private personal standpoint. AI in academia strikes the same sour notes. Thanks!

watching "Breath of Fire" on HBO/Max. really interesting, very well done. Makes me want to do Kundalini Yoga and realize the full potential of my limitless energy but -- full disclosure -- I'm watching it on my laptop lying down on the couch.

“He needs to be eating worms” is maybe the funniest quote the Times has ever published.

Never thought the childhood sing-song of "nobody loves me everybody hates me guess I'll eat some worms" had any relevance but...

Problematic that I keep my phone downstairs at night. Well, when it happens, #coffee time will never be as sweet.

a cup of coffee and a slice of carrot cake at Windsor Castle this photo is saved in my trip album as "this is where I realized I'd lost a gold hoop earring when taking my tour-guide headphones off" #England #WindsorCastle June 2026

lots of wood (chairs, tables) in this photo. On the table top are a white cup & saucer with a foamy latte and a small white dessert plate with a luscious brown carrot cake, eggshell-colored cream cheese icing, and a scattering and smattering of crushed brown nuts

OK! just finished Episode 1 of #Survivor51. Should be a good season. Looks like next week's episode will be a bloodfest thanks to Brady or Brodie or whatever He-Man's name is. It looks like our Irish lad is back in the fold. Rooting for Jenna to bounce back w/a 2nd chance Social Game. #Survivor

loo wallpaper Richmond England June 2026

you know you're in a fancy restaurant when the wallpaper in the loo is literally the most gorgeous, luminous, colourful, eccentric and alive wallpaper you've ever seen! On a primarily shining gold background, with flowers of charcoal green and dusty pink, monkeys grin and cavort on tree limbs

#garden tribe: I just read or saw something about pruning lavender plants. I've had these lavender plants for 8 years & they go dormant in late summer til spring, but then they bloom beautifully for about 6 weeks. I've never pruned 'em. Should I prune them? #gardening question 🌱 #lavender

a lavender plant perched on the business end of a stone retaining wall. the "done" numbs of blooms are evident in abundance, but it's done for the season.

a lavender plant sits on the bottom section of a three-tiered backyard garden. It is healthy & growing (encroaching on my stepping stone to safely get to the 2nd tier) but I've never pruned it. Should I?

Good morning Just drinking my coffee in the quiet as the dawn's early light illuminates the back yard #garden where the scrub jays are snatching up the peanuts I scattered for them; I'm listening to Paul Simon's "American Tune" and feeling so much gratitude for the beauty of poets in this world.
