I sincerely hope the best for Tulsi's husband and if his condition is truly the reason for her resignation, it is understandable. The timing is pretty sus, though.

🤣

Thanks for 11 amazing years to a man we’ve always put on a pedestal, sometimes literally.

Amazing night with friends from all walks and periods of my life. And now watching Colbert's last show. ALL OF THE FEELS.

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

As a career-long global health, outbreaks-in-humanitarian-contexts person most recently at USAID I genuinely cannot read this stuff. Full head in sand. Everyone, everyone in the field knows how bad this is going to be.

Gotta say, Colbert's final show coinciding with my last day in the U.S.A. makes watching hit a bit harder.

As my visit to the States winds down, the various amount of feels I have is increasing.

Found my nail supplies in time for June

The slush fund is bullshit. But so was the plane, the gold cards, the crypto, the watches, the phones & the bibles.

People still think I am an extrovert and that is interesting to me.

I know this isn't simply from bondage porn but I beg those in their 20's to take care of their back and neck.

Honestly don't know why anything shocks me anymore but: as a former gov employee who specifically worked with procurement and contracts-- the fact that these vanity projects are going on with no competitive bidding astounds me.

My social media seriously peaked at Twitter. Tumblr? Snapchat? Don't get them. I'm trying to do TikTok as my BFF likes to communicate through there but I really kind of hate it, too. Have I aged out of social media mediums?

I don't know how I was convinced to do a 3 hour drive one way to my brother's with my mother but after 20 minutes I told her I was driving and by the end, I literally never want to speak to her again. The rest of this visit will not be obligatory. I booked my flight back last night for a reason.

About to land after 30+ hours of travel only to need to drive for 4 hours after. I didn't mean to move to the opposite end of the country, but it seems deliberate. And at times, advantageous. This is not one of those times.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

yeah no, now I just hate people. T-minus 11 hours left.

International airports may make the DMV 2nd on the list of best people watching locations. Seriously, it is a perplexing duo feeling of giving up faith in humanity but every few hours or so, something happens that restores that faith.

Prepping for my flight to the U.S. later tonight and am reminded of how much Time Zone Time Travel will mess my brain up. Taking off from New Zealand, flying 16 hours and landing 5 minutes *before* you take off is a headtrip.

The House of Representatives voted down a war powers resolution that would have restricted President Trump’s war in Iran by just one vote Thursday, 214–213, from Representative Jared Golden of Maine. trib.al/l2I21Mo

this is about as devastating sound bytes can get for both rfk jr. and trump — and on the day the cdc nomination is supposed to dominate the news cycle. rfk jr. might get in serious trouble with the white house for this one

They need a new name for deep infiltrating endometriosis because the acronym for that is D.I.E.

This just came on the thunderstorm morning movie I put on.

I am not a religious person but I remember how egregious I thought it was when he posted a pic of himself dresses as the Pope after JD took Francis out. I mean, I was absolutely furious, and in no small part on the behalf of Catholics everywhere, seeing as how I was initially brought up that way.

Motorcycle ride at sunrise. Good morning!

I really need to mellow NY me to acclimate to W. Australia. I still have a hard time dealing with people walking slowly in line in front of me blocking me from overtaking whilst in a hurry or for people who simply STOP in a walking lane. NY me cannot deal. W.A. me needs to figure out a way to.

Oh great, not like I am about to travel to the U.S. for a few soon... www.thetravel.com/new-homeland...

I dreamt I very vividly actually had a decent sized rack (at LEAST a B, enough to have actual cleavage) and man, I was really disappointed when I woke up.

I don't know why these Admin officials get so surprised and upset when they are canned. The reality show president zestfully did it with glee every week on TV.

Thank goodness they have Aldi in AUS.

watching the Buffy musical is not comfort anymore. Nicholas Brendan was a piece of shit, but I hope he found peace.

my mother called this morning and even though the rest of my family leaves her on read, she unstables my peace

Been tending to my new hydroponic machine and now in possession of a Switch 2, both because my husband spoils me. I have a visit to the states in theworkshop, tho the TSA lines have me worried. Life is good. I wish the rest of the world were too.

juat saw this guy slinking about outside the driving assessment centre

Just a smidge more complicated than the Gardyn but got my new hydroponic machine together. Bring on the fresh veggies and herbs!

Western Australia reminds me so much of Arizona, it's no wonder it suits me. Down to the random fauna that appear at random. It was coyotes in Arizona, but I swear this rodent that just sauntered across my backyard was the size of a feral dog. (no, it wasn't a dingo)

so gross

Trump on Iran: “Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today…I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General? First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.
