Thanks so much, David and HilLesha, for supporting my work and giving me a continuing place to submit writings. These, folks, are two different walks-of-life stories, in flash. #1 is an attempt to picture a woman's life very different from mine in another time, place, and culture. #2 is spy jokes.

Dear Dave, @davgar51.bsky.social, I've been working hard at all chores lately. Exhilarating and challenging but exhausting! Thanks very much for putting me onto the things you've put me onto; I'm trying to be equal to my life right now. I've been working a lot on X, on The Kyiv Independent.Best, VLB

Emissions in advanced economies fell to their level of 50 years ago
Advanced economies saw a record decline in their emissions ...
After falling by around 4.5% in 2023, emissions in advanced economies were lower than they were fifty years ago in 1973. Although emissions in this group of countries have plumbed similar lows in 2020, 1974-75 and 1982-83, there are two important differences. Firstly, in contrast with the previous temporary declines in 1974-75 and 1982-83, advanced economy emissions have been in a structural decline since 2007. Secondly, advanced economy GDP expanded by around 1.7% in 2023, compared to stagnation or outright recession in these other periods. The decline in 2023 therefore represents the largest percentage drop in advanced economy emissions outside of a recessionary period.

On April 28, after crossing the suspended bridge, we visited the Punakha fortress. It is, I think, the prettiest fortress we visited during this trip. Some of the jacarandas were still in bloom, which didn't hurt either. Punakha, Bhutan. #Photography#Travel#Bhutan 📷 1/n

Look who I met! We followed the simple rule of "If I don't bother you, you won't bother me" and I got some nice shots from every angle with both the cellphone and the telephoto lens before it decided to go back into the grass. Cottonmouth (pit viper). #Photography#Reptiles 📷
