Thank you so much, Marge! I appreciate it. 🫶🏻

It does look pretty. I don't know if I would be affected. I've been curious, but haven't tested it.

My mom is allergic to it & ended up in the hospital when she was a child. She was in a car that rolled down a hill with poison oak, so it was all over her.

Two men crossing on the zebra crossing

Black and white square photo of two men on a zebra crossing. The photo is taken from a higher point, looking down on the men. One is walking from left to right, dressed in white and grey, and with white hair. The other walks from right to left in a dark suit and with a dark bag slung over his shoulder. They haven’t crossed yet, and there is a gap between them

Paris. Where even Starbucks looks like a Louis XIV fever dream.

People sitting at computer stations, most of them drinking coffee, in an elegant room with high ceilings with ornately carved and gilded dark wood moldings framing elaborate classical paintings. The walls are pale blue with gold molding and hung with mirrors and artwork in gold frames. Crystal chandeliers hang between black and gold marble columns, and the whole space glows with reflected light.
