Just look at these gorgeous skeins from @isasaxonists.bsky.social ! The top four are from a limited edition Halloween drop and the bottom is a history-inspired color way. And look at the adorable little charms that came with them! These orders never disappoint. <3

I finally feel comfortable posting a video from #heels class! I’ve been really loving heels and chair dance. They push me out of my comfort zone and get me moving in new ways. As always, thank you @the_glam_queens_playground for this 🔥🔥🔥 choreo.

We met up with some friends last night to play board games at @tiretoiunebouche_lyon I tried one of their signature cocktails, the « Stay Queer. » Two enthusiastic thumbs up! It was a bit like a Hugo Spritz, but not as sweet. #HopeInLyon

New cursed paragraph just dropped. www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/a...

The worry is even greater given that this is a poor time to sell "cryptos." Bitcoin, the benchmark cryptocurrency, just hit its lowest level in 20 months, dropping below $60,000. The idea that cryptocurrencies mirror stock market trends no longer holds, since Bitcoin has fallen by one-third (-32%) since the start of the year, and Solana by half (-47%), while stock markets continue to climb.
Cryptocurrencies have thus become far less popular, with investors preferring to piggyback on the extreme volatility of artificial intelligence stocks.

You know the heatwave is bad when the only way to find better weather would be to climb the alps. (It’s currently 11pm, btw)

I don’t know if « so easy, even a 12-year-old can do it » is a good compliment for a cocktail… but our daughter made us these Hugo Spritzes to celebrate #FathersDay and they’re delicious. cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/7816...

I don’t wish to alarm anyone, but it’s so hot in France that the government just temporarily banned public alcohol consumption. www.lemonde.fr/en/france/ar...

France issued a red heatwave alert across more than a third of the country for Sunday, June 21, as a ferocious heatwave dug in and the government banned the consumption of alcohol in public spaces in departments under this alert during the annual Fête de la Musique festivities.

To be fair, this article is a banger: www.lemonde.fr/en/environme...

“By agreeing to pay a €2 million fine as part of a settlement with French prosecutors on September 2024, Nestlé thought it would avoid a trial over its illegal practices (drilling and filters) at its bottling sites (Vittel, Contrex, Hépar) in the Vosges region of eastern France. That was not the case.”

Our train from Madrid to Barcelona was delayed 4 hours. We spent most of it sat in the station before Sants. I thought that was bad until our seatmate showed us his friends’ photos of trucks overturned on the highway. They were also delayed for hours. The winds in Catalonia today are no joke.

At the ripe old age of 18, our cat Sophie crossed the rainbow bridge today. 😭 She used to play fetch with twist ties. She'd hide on top of the litter box and then pounce on our other cat (Tabitha)'s head. If there's a cat heaven, she's up there jumping on Tabitha and getting wasted on catnip.
