UM HI!!! DO YOU WANT TO BE MY REAL LIFE PEN PAL? BECOME AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIBER AND WE CAN SEND EACH OTHER LETTERS 𓆩♡𓆪
INTRODUCING: SYSCA PEN PALS!!!!
I’m honestly so fucking excited. I want photos of you, your pets, and your life. I want your playlists, your stickers, your doodles. I want to know what your home feels like. I want your rants, your recommendations, your worries, your wins.
MY BABIES!! HI!!! First of all, you have no idea how fucking excited I am that so many of you want to be my pen pals. My favourite thing about running my own business is that I get to do all the cute and whimsical things that my heart desires (things that tech bros or corporates would call a ‘waste of time’ or ‘not cost-effective'). You can’t put a price on magic, I say!!!!!
I had to lol when one of you responded to me, saying this:
And all I will say is that the world is SCREAMING for community, so it’s a gift and not a chore to be able to sit and write to so many of you 𓆩♡𓆪
Love you!!

Trump and Putin are being sooooo emotional right now
Did you guys see what Donald Trump posted to Truth Social the other day???
Basically he called Vladdy Putz “absolutely CRAZY” after Russia launched one of its most intense drone-and-missile attacks on Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began in 2022. 367 projectiles, 13 people dead, 30 cities hit.
“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia,” he wrote, “but something has happened to him.”
Crazy is one way of putting it. Inhumane seems more fitting to me.
He also claimed Putin wants “ALL of Ukraine” and warned this could “lead to the downfall of Russia!”
Did Putin respond?
Lol, yes. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov clapped back, calling Trump’s reaction “emotional overload” - which, tbh, sounds like projection from the country that’s been bombing civilian infrastructure on a Sunday night.
To recap:
The two men who once played geopolitical footsie are now airing their breakup via press conferences and subtweets. But while Trump condemned Putin’s latest attack, he still managed to take a swing at Ukrainian president Zelenskyy, saying “everything out of his mouth causes problems.”
And just a week ago? Trump and Putin were on a two-hour call discussing a US-proposed ceasefire.
Ugh. Why are men soooo hormonal?
Did Brigitte Macron just shove her husband in the face??
I mean, Emmanuel Macron says everything’s fine. Just a bit of joking around between him and Brigitte as they stepped off a plane in Vietnam. Totally normal. Nothing to see here. Just a little marital forearm to the face.
The video shows Macron in the plane doorway, clearly getting shoved back by a hand (Brigitte’s, we’re told) right before he recovers, does a little wave, and walks it off like it’s no biggie.
Seems weird right?? Well, WHY DIDN’T I KNOW THE DETAILS OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP?? THE WHOLE THING IS SO OFF.
As per The Independent:
She met her now-husband when he was a student at Le Providence, a Catholic school in France, where she worked as a drama teacher. She was 39 at the time they first met and he was 15.
Brigitte was married to banker André-Louis Auzière, and the couple have three children, Sébastien, Laurence and Tiphaine.
The now French President began an affair with Brigitte, who is 24 years his senior when he was 16. His parents had believed their son was dating his teacher’s daughter, Laurence, until the truth came out through a family friend.
Shocked, the Macrons removed their from the school, but he and Brigitte kept in touch while he was in college.
I mean make what you want of that, but wtf.
What’s with people opening plane doors mid-flight????
On Saturday, an All Nippon Airways flight from Tokyo to Houston had to make an emergency landing in Seattle after a man tried to open the door mid-flight.
According to police, the man was in the midst of a medical crisis when he attempted to open the exit door (which, for all my anxious flyers, is basically impossible at cruising altitude, but still absolutely terrifying for everyone on board). Passengers and crew restrained him, and he was taken to the hospital after landing.
What’s crazy to me is that this is not a one-off. It follows a string of similarly chaotic in-flight incidents:
April 2025: A Jetstar flight from Bali to Melbourne had to turn around after a door-opening attempt.
November 2024: A man was duct-taped by passengers during an American Airlines flight after trying the same thing.
November 2023: A man actually succeeded in opening the emergency door of an Asiana Airlines plane before landing in South Korea, sending 9 people to hospital.
?????????? Stop that??????

What I find (sad) funny about Trump's little tirade is how everything he complained about can also be applied to him. What a hypocrite/psycho.
The whole Macron dating then marrying his teacher is such old news but the French don’t care about this stuff so probably why you didn’t know. I think the age gap is the same as Trump and Melania.
