It's cold and all-around depressing. It's been a long year and it's barely February. Turn up the volume and embrace the music. Keep singing, dancing, sparkling, and shining. Have a fabulous hair day. 🎶💃🔥💗 #Shakira #Music

In addition to my overabundance of tea, I am ready for the snow, even though I am not looking forward to the work afterwards. And will probably catch up on the Turkish version of Frankenstein (Yaratılan) to continue the vibe. ☃️🌬🫖☕️

Long and dark, but well worth it. Filmed in secret and smuggled out of Iran, incorporating footage from the Mahsa Amini protests. The director and some cast members managed to escape in exile. Some remain to face the consequences. Morality, paranoia, and resistance. Bravo 🎬✊️💗

Small victory for 2026. Found an earring I thought long lost in Nashville over the holidays. 🎉🎆💎

Venezuela has oil. Greenland has rare Earth minerals. Luckily Iceland has only volcanoes, glaciers, and very average cricketers.

The US administration's proposals to exclude nursing from its list of professional degrees will restrict access to student loans, leaving many students unable to pursue a nursing career. This is the wrong approach and we will always defend those who sit at the heart of every health and care system.

This thread is a GIFT.

Today would have been Jimmy Carter’s 101st birthday. We remember a founding member of The Elders whose integrity, compassion and tireless work for peace, democracy & human rights left an indelible mark on the world. His legacy continues to inspire.

Why isn’t today, 9-25, national Dolly Parton Day?

He was kind, intelligent, talented, compassionate, sensitive, fun, trustworthy and truthful- an ethical person who cared deeply about his family and about America. He embodied everything we value and search for now . 💔
