Thumbs down on this fish extender gift. Girl Scouts know "leave no trace" and take nothing but photos. 4000 people on each ship, what happens when everyone takes sand or a shell? Teach your kids to leave Castaway Cay as they found it. 💜

'As NPR’s Steven Inskeep put it: “[the] president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU & China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada & Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?”' open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Crookshanks probably wants to knock the macarons off the table like a typical orange cat.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Advanced level towel bunny. ✨ My favorite restaurant, Enchanted Garden, was tonight, and I am stuffed full of all the seafood. Early bedtime tonight so we don't miss Beauty & the Beast stage show tomorrow night. #disneycruiseline

Cozumel today. I'm getting the cold my husband had before we left, & the kid has been sleeping 6 hrs a night for some reason, so we're just hanging on our verandah doing school work and watching boats. I need coffee.

"On a five year mission, boldly going where no man has gone before." We could be watching this on the pool deck but watching movies in bed is one of our favorite things to do on a cruise. (Esp since she was up at 5:30am "stealthily" looking for her Kindle.)

Same, medieval dudes. Same.

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

I don't know what it is, but I'm hooked on 4pm on a cruise ship like it's a drug. A water view from my house (even if it's just the Mississippi River) is the motivation behind every dollar I earn.

Today's cruise reading (and I will finish it in a day). I requested this from the library after hearing an interview with Emma Pattee on NPR. I didn't want to hope for too much from an "NPR book" but it is SO GOOD. 💙📚

Some of the current sippers and popcorn buckets on the #DisneyDream. Bring back Star Wars Day at Sea!

Let's hear it for harbor pilots, one of the most dangerous jobs there is!

I think we're nearing the end of the age where she thinks it's cool to match. K'Queen 4eva! #disneycruiseline #castleandwandtravel

The government is supposed to be there to serve you, to support you, to help make your life easier. You shouldn't need to earn it, we all pay into it so it can help support people's needs. It shouldn't be profitable or business-like, because it's not a business, it's a service you are co-owner of.

The pets saw the suitcases and acted all sad. Suprise! Francis was just dropping us off at the airport.

-lights up a cig- -pays $2 for a coke- -thinks about the totally fine world trade centre-

I think I've spent less than $100 at Target since late January, and in a normal year that would have been more like $1000.

There's a non-speaking person in my vicinity at the library chatting with an aide using a combination of sign language and a speech pad. Think about this: when you find yourself doomscrolling, focus that energy on Duolingo or ASLU or similar. You can help in the days ahead with practical skills.

Morning project: I love this crochet bag but hated that it only has "handbag" straps. I ordered some D rings and a guitar strap, voila. Shoulder bag. 🧶

Ok that's enough social media irritations for this morning. BEHOLD! My Garden Tower 2 strawberry tower project is already producing! #gardentower

So some people are plainclothes ICE agents interrogating small children, other people are random sociopaths impersonating ICE agents but everyone is supposed to know the difference, surely this won’t get even worse

YAY STUNT PEOPLE!

I love seeing people walking the track at our gym (which is in a city park) notice the resident groundhog for the first time. We're city slickers, so it's usually, "what is THAT?"

Sounds like they have found at least one body in the yard down the street. I'm obsessed with forensic science and forensic anthropology and it's hard not to spectate.

This is currently happening 2 blocks from us. I bought my first house in this neighborhood in 2007 and this yard has always been an absolute tornado of dogs, chickens, and trash. Didn't expect that an ugly yard was hiding something. 😬

Whoa this is the first time I've seen floating solar! This seems really smart for Florida. I'd still love to see solar shading parking lots, though.

The hard truth is that there are some products you just can't make in America. These must be imported from elsewhere. Like chocolates, for example. American workers will always become overwhelmed by the speed of the conveyor belt. They'll end up shoving the sweets into their mouths and blouses

20% tariffs on the Isle of Sodor are really going to hurt the indentured sentient railcar import industry

When we say “Kids eat for free.” We don’t mean in our restaurants. It’s more of a commentary on how a parent provides for their child.

Libraries + voting = magic ✨

The universe smiles upon me today, as Universal announces Annual Passholder previews of Epic Universe starting the day we get back to Florida after our cruise. ✨✨✨

No one wants to look "crazy" pointing this out, and that's by design.

He gets it. Hope more citizens are catching on.

The problem with people who say, "they have to do it legally," is that they have NO IDEA what the legal process is, or that it takes years. Anyway, some good trouble worked in this case.

Yes the Irish Dance community has wholly embraced "whimsical skedaddler". My Irish dancing daughter thinks it's hilarious.

"You are wretched," I say to the cat biting my finger after I gave her a nibble of tilapia, forgetting that I'm on the phone with a Disney cast member looking up a reservation.

Savage. This is really one of the biggest mistakes I've ever seen in this era of "shareholders first". viewfromthewing.com/carry-on-ove...
