After being wrongfully fired by @washingtonpost in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing, an arbitrator ruled that the Post reinstate me with full back pay.
But I have decided not to return to what the Washington Post has become.

Tina Turner when she entered the great rebirth of her career & survival story, famously stated - and was never contradicted not even by Ike - that "I have never put anything up my nose". Stated so in a book. Staked her whole aura on it. Her stupendous energy was unassisted.
Tina Turner coked out of her mind, wig strapped on tight and kicking her amazing long legs around doing the Nutbush is 🤌🤌🤌
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Tina Turner said she did not use drugs during her years with Ike Turner, who had a cocaine addiction. She told Rolling Stone: "I never did the drugs, never drank, never stooped to his level." rollingstone.com/feature/tina-t… biography.com/musicians/ike-…
I wish people would quit describing BINTI as “short” and use the proper term that carries no baggage, NOVELLA.
BINTI is precisely the length it wants, wishes and needs to be.
Spotted a Say’s Phoebe on my walk. So pretty! They do the “hover in the air” thing to catch insects. These birds like to sing long before the sunrises and it’s super creepy because you don’t expect it.

My daughter took this photo two days ago now and I’m still returning to it and giggling. I’m not sure why it’s so funny to me, but it is, 🤣.

Along with the original Thriller, I watch this every Halloween. AND I know all the lyrics (well, for this one, let's call my version..."lyrics") and moves to both, as well, 🤣🎃.

FOX "News": Why are you here?
"There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front"

I'm at my desk writing. It's a sunny Saturday morning. Window's open. My local hummingbird is singing 3 feet away. My cat Neptune is on my lap, ka-ka-ka-ing at 3 quail strutting past the window. I have a peach cobbler baking in the oven, its aroma permeating the house.
Bliss. 😊
