Christopher Nolan should have cast me instead of Lupita Nyong'o and avoided all the controversy. I'm white, I'm a proper Helen and my son said I'm the most beautiful woman in the world.

Two things I would never do. Go on a ocean cruise and visit Mein Trumpf USA. But I would walk & trek 3 hours for this view. Up the Kelimutu Volcano. Hobbit Island of Flores Indonesia

More on the identical quadruplets, ackowleding the practicalities. They need a car, for a start.

So Jackie the Big Bear eagle, mother of Sandy & Luna and mate of Storm was badly injured. 😢 She's currently in raptor hospital. I forgot to mention, the babies have fledged! But they can't hunt yet so Storm is looking after them alone. #BigBearBaldEagles #BigBear #Jackie&Storm
