Also having seen that, I'll post this photo from last summer that I really like. I'm 65.
I see a prompt is going around for the forty plus types among us to put up selfies so of course I'm gonna do one until I get sick of seeing my own dumbass face and delete it. Anyway this is 47 so far I guess

If I understand what you are doing, Jo, might this fit the bill?

This is from Hillsboro, my ex-husband went there and took it. Not that amazing, but close to PDX.

the beautiful view from my apartment, now that we finally get some good weather. My west-facing apartment is going to be hot as hell in summer afternoons, but the view is worth it. #pdx

This is EXACTLY how one should look while testifying before Congress about antisemitism in schools. David Banks, Chancellor of NYC public schools.

Graffiti in the bathroom of my local coffee house bathroom wall. GAY SEX > CLASS WAR 2024 Always puzzled me. Gay sex is better than class war bc sex is better than war? Or "class war is so 2023, gay sex is in this year!" Totally inane. The gays are big fans of the current class system?

Nothing wrong with this cat either, but I actually dislike this picture.

Despite the obvious benefit to them, dentists do not seem cool with this regulation or whatever it is. I can see an attraction to purity of the water, even though it immediately sounds like this guy and his precious bodily fluids.

Drop something green from your gallery. From 2022, and I forget the context and the source.

Also I do remember it ending with a betrayal, and I honestly can't tell who is going to do the betraying. Eddie's betrayal seems expected. Portia is fully capable of betrayal herself, she's so loosely attached to anyone.

Either this is AI or this young person is actively in the process of turning into a demon.

The A train shooting yesterday was tragic, and it sounds like the city made a good decision not to charge the man who fired the gun, on self-defense grounds. But this statement from Chief Maddrey at the press conference shows how truly ridiculous their priorities are.

This is Emmie. She is annoyed because she has no little ball to play with. In December I bought fifteen of the little balls she loves best. There's a couple under the couch I'll get for her.
