We were cloudy this morning and di not get to see it.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

“You had ONE job….”

Jesus Fucking Christ.

(Said as a Christian.)

Goddamnit.

That was interesting! Thanks for sharing.

That is very kind.

The complication is that she is a 19-yo Siamese who is so strongly bonded to my husband that she makes herself ill from stress when he is gone.

Yeah, those tix and the hotel are the biggest expenses. Already bought the train tickets to get a good price.

I am very excited about the show.

I haven’t been there for more than a decade and I am very excited and we already have a great list of stuff to do and see.

Yes!!! The Lion King! (JP was not interested until I told him that was an option.)

I am very excited about this trip (even though it is still 3 months away)! Some other life stuff hasn’t been great so taking my kid to the most amazing city in the world is my Emotional Support Thing to Look Forward to.

We realized this fall that we cannot travel as a family until our elderly 🐈 goes to her great reward 🌈 but that could be years yet and JP is at prime Good to Do Fun Things With age so we get to have Mama+JP adventures.

And bless his heart, I tell him
something that I am planning to do and warn him it is $$ and he’s like “Yes! You should do that!” and then he is going to die when he sees the charge.

I am taking to JP to NYC this summer, and while F is fully supportive and aware that it will be expensive beyond belief, I’m being very hedgy about some of the expenses. 😬😳💸

Oh no! 😡 I don’t know if this was initiated by individual teacher blocks or not, but it should APPLY to everyone!

YES! We got a message from his Core 1 teacher about being able to eat a snack during the first 5 minutes.

(He has 12:45 lunch so I don’t know if this applies to everyone? It should.)

I am glad the school is finally letting the ravenous, growing, teenage children eat a snack during the school day {checks notes} …. halfway through the 3rd quarter. 🙄

It is also my understanding that this isn’t new under Mamdani, but he is doing it better.

😭😭😭

President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered his remarks on the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, reflecting on Ukraine’s resistance and the early days of the war from his office on Bankova Street.

President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked international partners for supporting Ukraine during his address on Feb. 24, marking the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Zelensky said he hopes to one day welcome the U.S. president to Ukraine.

☹️

I think that was meant to create mountain-hiking-like conditions in a viewable/spectatorable arena.

What??

We have a regional classical station here. (Plus a university radio station that has dedicated classical programing hours (and a classical marathon)). How does CA get away with only one classical station?

Did you see the video of Vance handing him the invitation and the Pope just casually putting it over of the corner of his desk? 🤣

She missed! Humanity verified.

F just said “She must be cheating! She keeps hitting the exact same spot of the target!”

Well of course, but we don’t get puking bugs so this one is unusual.

Yeah, this was a very quick 2-stage puke after and he was done and felt immediately better (his appetite was off for a few days of course).
