@Debinhawaii (thanks for the tag! 😍)

1. I'm not Catholic, but I'm glad that a progressively-minded pope was chosen. Born and bred in Chicago, no less! 🤩
2. Watched out beloved D-backs beat LA last night! Picture is from our seats.
3. The newly-formed #haikuhive on Litsy. Reading everyone's haikus has brought such joy this May! 💛🐝🖤
4. It rained early this week. #sobsofjoy 😭
5. Matt, Kate, Pippa. #always

Aims42 I‘m not Catholic but I already like Pope Leo because he does not agree with #VampyVance 😂 Hopefully he continues down the path that Pope Francis was forging. Plus the Chicago connection is very cool 🤩🍕🐻 1mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe 😉👌🐝💝. 1mo

IriDas Thursday‘s game was really good. I enjoyed it, even though the Dodgers lost. Last night‘s game—that was wild. But I‘m a fan of the game, as well as the Dodgers, so it wasn‘t as enjoyable as it was entertaining. :) I had predicted they‘d each take two games, they‘re halfway there. 1mo

dabbe @IriDas Our bull pen sucks! 😂 And the Dodgers are just incredibly hot right now. Two great nights of baseball. ❤️🖤🩵 4w

TheBookHippie @AmyG RIGHT?!?!?! I was beyond happy! 4w

DogMomIrene I grew up with Catholicism forced on me. I‘m an atheist now, but even I‘m happy to see another progressive Pope. The Christian Nationalists terrify me. 4w

dabbe @DogMomIrene YES!!! 🎯🩵🎯 I think we think a lot alike! 😍 4w

DogMomIrene @dabbe As a middle schooler once said to me Totes McGoats! 4w

dabbe @mcctrish Connections and Strands drive me bonkers! Matt plays those. I play Letter Boxed, Waffle, The Set Game, and Quiddler. I do horribly at Quordle. Is Octordle 8 of them? 😱 3mo

dabbe @MemoirsForMe Total 🍀! 3mo

mcctrish Ooo I have to look some of these ups ( nothing makes me feel dumber that connections when I can‘t figure it out but some categories are stupid ) and yes octordle is 8 ❤️❤️❤️ I used to play betweenle - a dictionary game but I think it was one too many games 3mo

dabbe @mcctrish I‘ll have to give Octordle a try! 🤩 3mo

As commented on @dabbe a few minutes ago:

While I'm good with variety posts, I'm rather new here on Litsy and only know the Litsy as it has been since my joining this magical community.

I find Litsy a safe place, a gathering place that serves a community of members like a mom and pop bookstore. We recognize one another if we visit often. We learn about one another, celebrate each other, offer emotional support, etc.

👇

AnnCrystal Also, as a community of readers, teachers, and creatives, I believe it is important for us to keep each other informed in our crazy world. We are the ones the suppressors try to silence out in the real world.

Please know that Litsy has become a home on the world wide web. Thank all Littens who make this place absolutely wonderful 🫂📚💝. (edited) 3mo

AnnCrystal Now, that being made perfectly clear, the last thing I want to do is annoy anyone here ✌️📚💝.

Therefore, for all future posts that do not relate to books, stories, writings, writers, or authors in some way will include the hashtag #unrelated2books...I hope this helps 😉👌💝.

As @dabbe offered with her hashtag, please feel free to use any of my created hashtags if needed, or put your own spin on them ☺️👍💝. (edited) 3mo

DogMomIrene I‘m here for the non-book related posts too. They help me walk in someone else‘s shoes, like books! 3mo

AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene 👏☺️ I just read your comment on @dabbe. ✊🏼😉✌️💝.

Terrible that you felt the need to leave, not only your state, but the country. Thankfully, you seem to have found such a quaint community to make your home 🏡💝. Love your fur babies 💕🐕🐾🐕💝. (edited) 3mo

AnnCrystal @Deblovestoread 💖❣️💝. 3mo

dabbe @DogMomIrene And I loved it and welcomed it! 🩶💚🩶 #always BTW, maybe I'll have to move to Canada as well. 🤩 3mo

DogMomIrene @AnnCrystal Thanks! We love it here. And so do the fur kids 🐶❤️🐶❤️ 3mo

DogMomIrene @dabbe Thanks! Lots of people in US looking to move internationally. I‘ve talked to a few friends about it. Many options. Canada‘s looking for skilled workers, especially in healthcare. Hubby was a nurse. That‘s how we got a work permit and applied for PR. 3mo

bthegood Thanks for this post and #unrelated2books - I enjoy your posts - glad you are part of my Litsy world. 🙂 (edited) 3mo

AmyG Thank you. And if anyone doesn‘t like my views or posts, I welcome them to unfollow me….as I have done to those who don‘t interest me. 3mo

AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene 💕🏡🐕🐾🐕💝. 3mo

AnnCrystal 🥰 Thank You @bthegood I am equally glad you are part of my Litsy world too 💕🌞📚💖. 3mo

1. Even though Phoenix has now broken even more records for heat this week (we've been in the 80s F when we should be in the high 60s), I have not lost my cool ... yet.
2. The monologues of Colbert, Kimmel, and Meyers have been helping me to cope with our fucked-up country.

Aims42 I never really watched Seth Meyers before, but he‘s a new favorite for me because of 🍑🤡. I re-watch his episodes the following day 👍 4mo

AmyG @bookandbedandtea I thought the same thing. While 70 is nice….NOT in Feb. (edited) 4mo

willaful I can't watch political comedians anymore. :-( The closest I get is Josh Johnson, because he's so mellow.
4mo

bookandbedandtea @AmyG Exactly! I LOVE 70° but it feels wrong in winter. 4mo

DogMomIrene Yikes on those temps! Stay cool 😎 4mo

dabbe @LiseWorks Are you tariff-taunting me? 😂🤩😘 4mo

dabbe @Aims42 I do the same with all three. That's basically how I get my news, and they all give me the words to laugh about it--if I can. 😅 4mo

dabbe @AmyG IKR? 🥴 4mo

dabbe @willaful I completely understand. I might be heading in that direction, too, if things continue to go down the sewer. 🤯 4mo

dabbe @DogMomIrene Thank the engineer gods for air conditioning. 😂 4mo

Aims42 @dabbe Haha, exactly! 😆😭 4mo

mcctrish I have been enjoying the political satire, it‘s reassuring on so many levels. I am sick of winter though 🥶 4mo

Lesliereadsalot 80s sounds good to me as it‘s 20s here and my son says it‘s snowing in Seattle (nobody ventures out in the snow there!) 4mo

Suet624 Yes, all three are a must for me to watch. 4mo

kspenmoll Political satire essential!!!!! 4mo

DogMomIrene @dabbe Yep! After living in Tucson for years, when we moved to PEI the house we bought had no AC. We put in heat pumps last spring. Their cooling feature works well, especially with the humidity here. Thanking the engineer gods for sure! 4mo

TheLudicReader #2, right? You gotta laugh because the alternative is unbearable. 4mo

dabbe @DogMomIrene Wowza! What a switch in weather that must have been! Someday I'd love to visit eastern Canada. A girl can dream! 🩶🩷🩶 4mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I've heard it said that humor comes from the darkest of places. Now I truly know why. 🤯😮‍💨😂 4mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader BTW, I ADORE your new photo! 🩶🩷🩶 4mo

TheLudicReader @dabbe, I got your Christmas card today. (Very weird to get mail on a Saturday, but there wasn‘t a single piece of mail all week) Did you ever get my card/letter/little gift? I sent it Dec 21. 4mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader No, I didn't. 😟 Does it show on your end that it was delivered? 4mo

TheLudicReader @dabbe…it was just in an envelope. Hopefully it will show up. Things are moving slowly through the system. The gift is whatever…but I wrote a l-o-n-g-a-s-s letter, too. 😭 4mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I sent my card in mid-December, so I will not give up hope! It's all I've got these days. 🤗 4mo
