I prefaced my reading with these words:

Today, is Pippin’s 6th birthday.

Animated, attention grabbing, comedic, clever, loving, camera-eager & close-up seeking, even in the midst of extremely difficult times, Pippin is able to make me laugh when laughter feels unavailable.

Happy Birthday adorable, sweet, energetic, playful Pippin.❤️

May be of interest to those who are uncertain about where they stand in the view of the new Administration in the United States. May be a wake up call for those who felt certain that they will be unaffected by forthcoming edicts of hate & loathing.(1/3)

Folks are mostly missing the forest for the trees re: the recent Meta announcement. Specifically, the focus on the move from fact checking to community notes. There two different changes that are a much bigger deal that have received less focus. 🧵 1/11

Hey y’all
I’ve come in search of blue skies, smiles and laughs, kindness, and interesting reads.

Pippin, my pup, is here for the same. Actually, she is also seeking much praise for cuteness.
