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! 💛🐝🖤

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.

1. Survived the endoscopy and colonoscopy. One polyp, results soon. 🤞🏻
2. Popsicles. Got me through my 2-day fast.

4. Matt & Pip reading together + getting Matt hooked on L. Penny. ❣️

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.
3. Matt. #always
4. Pippa #always

All are welcome to share their joys. 🩶🩷🩶

1. After what was to me one of the worst days in American history this past Monday, the sun did come out the next day. And the next... If you want to hear the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard in my entire life, here's the link:
