As an American who *tries* to stay informed about the rest of the world, I was shocked Morrison won. Are people there shocked? 

It’s Sunday morning in Australia, and the conservatives have won the election. Scott Morrison is still our PM, the environment is heading towards the crapper, the rich will get richer and the poor will get fucked, and the Murdoch Media Machine has done its job for another 4 years. I’m so depressed and angry, and yet…

Oh, that is beautiful! I hope the people there get peace, and food, they need food. 

Hey, I share a birthday with Tim Roth, Cate Blanchett, and now a baby sloth! I did something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, I made my own birthday cake! Nothing too elaborate, a single layer of orange cake, with a layer of poached (although I’m not sure how poached they actually got) orange slices on top. It was…

You are amazing, Mayita. You have ‘paid it forward’ a thousandfold in one lifetime, alone. I am inspired and awed by you. ♡

Yemen. Were it possible. For the architecture, alone. But, also, because it is a unique crossroads and culture like no other. But I do not suggest that you travel to Yemen. One day, perhaps, there shall be peace in the world.

I helped paint a ladies house through a local charity that helps people who are struggling. 

It’s not much, but I made my husband his favorite dinner because he’s been so tired and down lately. 

I went to Rome about 10 years ago and loved it! Croatia, both the interior and the Mediterranean coast, was also gorgeous. I’ve also always wanted to go to the Black Forest in Germany, Salzburg in Austria, and Romania. So many places to visit! I hope you have a great trip wherever you land on.

Japan! I would love to go to Japan, my husband and I always say some day, but I’m newly determined to make it happen! I’m starting my research right now! 

Hey there! It’s a bummer that I can’t see my notifications, because something with Kinja, but carry on I will. I finally saw the cardiologist for the results of my latest echo, and Backstreet’s back, baby! My EF, which refers to the strength of the heart as it sends out blood, I think, is significantly improved, and…

I took my wife to her first ever Pow Wow at the Hiawatha First Nation. 

I have been on SNS the last few weeks crowdsourcing ideas and I am going to continue tonight! So:

Daw!  Baby sloth!

100% unimpressed.

When we were dating, my husband and I split up for about a year, and he got a Grumpy Cat coffee mug from his sister during that time (“Good morning? No such thing”), and I bought myself the same mug during the same period. We got back together, he moved in with me, we laughed when saw our matching mugs…

I wouldn't listen to what Emily's saying based solely on the fact that she became famous for being naked in a music video for a rapey song.

And then they can tell that child all their life about how lucky they are to have been taken in by white people and not left to grow up in their home country of X.

If fetuses get full personhood rights, then child support had better fucking be paid retroactively.

I, for one, love this clever end run around the 19th Amendment.
