I’ve voted in Kansas from abroad! 🇺🇸 As a U.S. citizen overseas, I can email my ballot, but I must waive ballot privacy. One question asks whether non-citizens should be allowed to vote in Kansas. I see that as a slippery slope with serious implications. Thanks VoteFromAbroad!

I spent time in Kansas, where checks of tornado sirens happen every Friday at 12. So I'm "used to it". But when I hear them here in Berlin, I think about what it must be like to live in a country like Iraq, Ukraine, the Emirates, etc, where sirens are daily business due to an aggressor. Scary shit.

I know that feeling. I have a GTS and a Sprint 125 (smallbody). I get closer and closer everyday to saying goodbye to the GTS. Much harder to just flick through the Berlin traffic with the heavier one.

Mother Nature has spoken. She REALLY didn’t want me and my friends to see Lesbian Space Princess under the stars at Sommerkino Kulturforum tonight. Wind, rain, and now it’s been officially cancelled.

I’m just happy that you are planning Vespa trips! This is my stable waiting for their May Day wash-up.

I just heard a loudspeaker announcement from the Sommerbad near my house for the first time this year… and it’s not even open yet! That can only mean one thing: summer is almost here!!! Early morning swims, sunshine, and Sommerbad season are just around the corner!

Just received an email from the European Commission saying I’m going to receive €1.5 million!! At first I assumed it was one of those classic Nigerian-prince situations. But apparently all they want is my contact information — not even my bank details. Feeling cautiously optimistic.

Maybe it’s time to question beauty standards that reward looking childlike. Women don’t need to erase age to be worthy or attractive. And in a moment when we’re openly confronting how many men are drawn to youth, this conversation feels more necessary than ever.

New year, new to-do—done! If you’re a U.S. citizen living abroad, it’s time to re-register to vote for the new year. I just spent 7 painless minutes on votefromabroad.org, and my registration is already on its way to my election official. Why not start the year with your voice counted?

On the floor of the U-Bahn? I would abandon it too.

I’m assuming Blanche was in charge of the décor, because I refuse to believe the cock & balls mold behind them was an accident.
Scene from Golden Girls. Dorothy and Rose in the kitchen. Behind them on the wall above the cabinets are a series of copper design elements/molds. One of them is in the shape of a cock and balls.

In times like these, a little joy goes a long way. This story about a husband who turned his late wife’s "snowpeople" collection into a community exhibit will warm your heart. Read more and meet the snowpeople bringing smiles to thousands. wapo.st/4s1L59D (gift article)
Kathy Allen Duncan's snowpeople village with many figurines displayed in a wintery scene including a blue area representing water. Trees, houses and puffy model snow make for a very smile-inducing image.

Just got #Whammed at the company Christmas party. Multiple times. Mariah Carey followed soon after. Where is that Baileys to put in my hot chocolate? #Whammageddon I’m out. :(

Christmas-market karaoke hit me with ‘Last Christmas’ today — but not the Wham! version. Off-key, and it sounded like the singer REALLY lost someone - so it was pretty genuine. My question: Does this mean I’m #Whammed… or just Wham-adjacent? #Whammaggedon

Nothing like a snowy walk to the bus stop to remind you that life is beautiful— —right up until the exact moment your bus speeds past while you are still 100 metres away. Next bus in 10 minutes. Character development arc continues.

I went through it all. Horrific anxiety ramped up in early 50s. It crippled me. I’ve been so even-keeled all my life, I didn’t know how to handle it. Went to my family doctor - a woman - “don’t worry about it, get some CBT”. This book helped. I should give one to all lady friends of a certain age.

🌈 Oh no… someone better tell the sky it’s being too political again! Tonight’s rainbow over Berlin is just SO disrespectful to Frau Präsidentin Klöckner’s agenda. Clearly, Mother Nature didn’t get the memo. Or maybe… she did. 💅 Share those pics. #RainbowResistance #NatureKnows

This bigot was long dead to me, anyway. However, the time difference between the date of death and release seems interesting. Survivors worried about gay backlash? She certainly deserved it. My own mother cited Anita's words as she angrily lashed out at me upon learning I'm a lesbian.

The first day after a two-week holiday. A perfect day for Carole's Tapestry.
The album art from Carole King's Tapestry. A woman sits in a window box in the background, a cat sits in the same box on a pillow. Both are looking directly at the camera.

I bought a special egg pan to enjoy the nooks and crannies of the lovely English Muffin even more!
4 halves of English muffin. 2 stacked with avocado and round feta eggs. 2 covered in a soft cheese topped with cucumber slices.
