My current favorite interest is AI retro music 50s style, can’t get enough! Makes me so happy whenever I hear it :) Other interests are hiking and nature, Nordic Noir; all topics related to Judaism; e òc, de segur, l’occitan.

Fan of Downton Abbey? Then I highly recommend "A Place to Call Home", a gripping and delightful period piece set in 1950s Australia that easily rivals it. Tackles racism, classism, sexism, homophobia and does it all while keeping you on the edge of your seat! Free to watch on Tubi.

Let’s see if #Microsoft is next to kiss the hand of the convicted felon in the White House or whether it will stand strong. As of today, 2 Sep 2026, the lake is still labelled “Lake Ontario” on Bing Maps.

Can’t help but be reminded of how these women reacted when they looked upon their hero. Hero worship doesn’t turn a criminal into a hero, it just makes the worshippers look like cirminals themselves. c8.alamy.com/comp/G39TXC/...

Of course this is true. But MAGA remains undeterred, as seen in this text chat a friend of mine had today with his friend, a MAGA supporter.
Chat with a MAGA supporter who doesn’t care if global markets are crashing because he believes Trump is playing a long game and will ultimately succeed, even though he’s been bankrupt six times.

5 minutes till we light the first candle of Hanukkah! With all that’s going on in the world, I definitely need a little more light (and hope, and inspiration, and love) in my life, don’t you?

Remember Victoria Soto, first-grade teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School. She died December 14, 2012 in the school shooting there that murdered 20 children and six adults. Don’t stop demanding real gun reform.

How any vet could support Trump and his cult party is beyond me.

And this is my chickens' next favorite thing! Dirt bath time in the garden! They earned it after helping dig and scratch and spread the compost and dirt I put in today - plus eating all the bugs :)

My chicken cleaning crew is always ready to help. I spilled some oats this morning and the ladies came running to clean up! Enjoy! (Is there anything more wonderful than backyard #chickens?)

Merry Christmas from this snowman in Bisbee AZ (it’s what you use when there’s no snow yet - genius)!

I know it’s wintertime in the US, but who doesn’t love tulips? Never too early to remember and enjoy their beauty!

One of my favorite places here in SE Arizona, the Chiricahua National Monument. I hope despite the new administration it still gets made into a National Park soon.

I took this in Wilderness Park, West Linn, Oregon. Anyone know what it is?

Saw this somewhere in Oregon and loved it. Reminds me of how important it is to stop and listen to the trees talking.

Also a big fan of Nordic Noir literature. Just started reading Ragnar Jónasson’s Death at the Sanatorium. I’ve loved all his previous books so excited to get into this one.
