Why do I feel like we’re in an episode of Lower Decks & the Pakleds have been allowed to run amok & Starfleet is just sitting back saying “Pakleds, that’s not a wise choice.” 🤦🏽‍♀️ #LowerDecks

Oh, what a hopeful start to 2026. Just when I thought it might have moved on to another habitat, ‘our’ genet appeared in our garden just after midnight, foraging/hunting amongst the shrubs and flowers #genet #urbanwildlife #hope #joy #life

A fitting way to say cheers to 2025 #arundhatiRoy #motherMary #weneedbooks

The newsrooms: The conclave's elected it's first American pope Me and the Brazilian lady interviewed on BBC: Actually, he's the 2nd American pope. He's the 1st North American pope because, you know, Francis was from the Americas, Argentina to be precise #conclave #pope #LeoXIV #Peru

*Watching BBC broadcast of papal announcement* L'enfant: Do you think the commentators are really trying hard to stress how *not* American Pope Leo XIV actually is? He has spent most of his life outside the USA. He speaks Spanish AND Italian. He is a naturalised Peruvian citizen..." 😆

If there's one story you read today, let it be The Rest is Silence by @brechtdp.bsky.social made all the more resonant for me by the fact some dear ones are survivors of the events during which this riveting story is set #Revocate 😔👏💜 hudsonreview.com/2025/05/the-...

The world's wading through the 1st cycle of the Apocalypse & I am blessed with a joke-creating, joke-telling kid 👇 L'enfant: What do you call a murderous lizard? Maman et Papa: 🤔 L'enfant: A cold-blooded killer 🤣🦎🤣🗡️🤣 #lovethischild #kidcomedy #makethemlaugh
