Georgia is not living in the Sumner House but she is on death row at #nycacc with one post with only 19fucking reposts that will fucking get her killed! She’s not West and Amanda- she’s Georgia and she’s on my mind! She’s definitely a girls girl unlike Amanda! Repost

This is just one of the rather gorgeous places I spent my weekend. If this doesn't scream "children's adventure story about running away to an uninhabited island to live in a cave," to you, you had a deprived childhood.
Sheltered cove on Russell Island off Vancouver, which is indeed uninhabited. There were no caves here, sadly, but I'm pretty sure we could have found some a bit further around the coast. Shot is of a rocky outcrop overhung with trees and bushes, on a beach strewn artistically with driftwood. You can just make out a somewhat blue sea in the background, though in reality it was a lot bluer.

Good morning Bluets! Who says a healthy breakfast can’t be a little bit naughty too?! Rise’n’shine! Happy Sunday!
“Bali bowl” style brekkie: red berry Love Crunch muesli with sliced fresh bananas, raspberries and blueberries, and a generous dollop of vanilla yogurt. All arranged in colourful stripes. Oh, and a glass of orange juice to wash it down. That takes care of most of my 5-a-day, no?

SIL gave me an entire pack of postcards like this, and now I need to become an elusive international criminal just so I can taunt an obsessed detective by sending them from unlinked worldwide destinations
Array of startlingly niche 1970s fashion pic postcards, the reverse printed with a fetching Charlie’s Angels style silhouette version of the front, and the pack they came in, which rejoices in the title “Catalogue Woman”.

Good morning Bluets! A very, very, very overdue bouquet for you! Blaze with glory, my lovelies!
Orange lilies - absolutely gorgeous I might add - set off to a tee IMO by violet ohmygoodnesswhatthehellarethosethingscalledagains. You know, the bushes with big grapefruit sized clusters of flowers. Frankly they’re not usually my faves but they happen to work here.

Good afternoon Bluets! Love that it’s the time of year Little can come home with randomly picked blooms that are better than anything in a florist’s!

As bad as they want to tell us the damage in Tel Aviv is, let’s not forget: ⚠️The injured are going to fuctioning hospitals with medical supplies. ⚠️Those impacted will still be fed ⚠️Nobody is shooting the paramedics. The same does not apply to those facing genocide in Gaza. #auspol

I have a trade deficit with Walmart. I buy all my groceries from them, but they never buy anything from me. So I’ve decided to set 20% of what I spend with them on fire to encourage me to make my own groceries.

Authors with pen names - when signing books, do you sign the pen name or your actual name? If you write under several names (maybe one for adult books and one for children's books, for example), do you sign them differently? Just curious.
