I'm struggling to do art at the moment. But I NEED to keep busy, so I'm going through those 'little jobs' that I've been trying to do for months/years! This is one such job. An old pouffe. It's really comfortable, but an awful brown colour! I'm really delighted with the result 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖xxxxxxx

I bought some new fish, about 4-5 months ago (4 platys and six little minnows) just enough for my little tank. There's now about 30+ tiny baby fish! I've been setting up the new, bigger tank and hope to start transferring the fish during next week. Have a wonderful weekend lovelies 😂🥰💖💖💖💖xxxxxx

This is my Microwave Brownie recipe. It's sooooooo easy and yummy. Takes about ten minutes to make. You can add anything to the basic ingredients - I add seeds, coconut, oats and dried fruits.
It cuts into 12 cubes. Honestly, it's so delicious. Leave for at least ten minutes before cutting. 1/2

tRump has attacked three nuclear facilities, in Iran, but there's no increase in nuclear radiation in the area!
Think about it - something is a lie. Either they weren't nuclear installations OR there is an increase in radiation.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Padilla: From the moment I entered the building, I'm being escorted by a member of the National Guard and an FBI agent. I asked, well, since we're waiting, can we go listen in to the press conference? They escort me over to the press conference. They opened the door for me.
