Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Honu in Kauai (January 2012)

We were invited to a 50th Anniversary of my Hawaiian aunt and uncle (I know, right?) but unfortunately, Hawaiians don’t think of things like “winter” so they scheduled the anniversary for June 2019 instead of January 2019. So that’s one of the main reasons we won’t be attending though we’ll be there in spirit. That […]

.@aoc_dances Is My New Favourite Twitter Account Today

So you may have heard that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had an “embarrassing” video of her dancing in a college video (which, in turn was a remake of an earlier mash-up) highlighted recently but that it didn’t go as well as the anonymous right-wing troll who tweeted it had hoped.
