For someone who purports to be a journalist, she talks more than she listens.

Ours are blooming and falling in the way of Camellias. Buds are already setting for next year’s glorious show.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡³πŸ‡± Zelensky: Today, together with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Rob Jetten, we honored the fallen Ukrainian defenders at the Wall of Remembrance.

We remember and honor the feat of our heroes – all those who stood up to defend Ukraine and gave their lives in this fight for independence.

When I was a kid (yeah, yeah, the good ol’ days) our pets would live like a member of the family until they died. It was just after the war and we had no money for extras. If any of the household, including pets, became ill, we either got through it or we didn’t.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Watercolour drawing of Green Street, Cambridge with the figure of a young woman in a green dress striding along and a few lightly-sketched bicycles.

I have produced quite a few paintings and drawings of Green Street in Cambridge over the years. Here's a watercolour and ink sketch showing the western end as it goes into Trinity Street. Not sure if I still have this one.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people β€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

I've got laryngitis so I'm not on TV today. but if I was, I'd remind everybody that mass deportation *remains* family separation, whether Noem or Mullin or anyone else is Trump's DHS Secretary. and that policy has not changed.

Today for 5 hours the world was normal and filled with animated movies and cheerful walkies and naps. Today I was alone, just with my dogs and pretended everything was normal and fine... from 11 to 4.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Whoa. Spring must be on its way at last - just heard an absolute calamity of cedar waxwings duking it out for nesting space in our shrubberies.
