I do appreciate condolences, but better than that, I would like you to do something kind for someone you know. Maybe someone you haven’t reached out to for a while, who may have gone through something difficult a long time ago that everyone has now moved on from. I am no stranger to Trauma Road, after all, and I know that’s how it goes… people rushing to do anything for you at the beginning, and then slowly fading away, until you are ultimately left with your unbearable loss alone. I know it will happen to me, too: The world will move on from this, even as I do not. This is a universal experience for anyone who goes through tragedy, and it is up to us to change that.   If I could make one wish, I would bring my dad back. I know it’s not possible, because I have spent days trying. So instead, I would like to wish that we can all remember that every person we are talking to carries wounds and treat one another with humanity, regardless of our differences. My father always did that. He was a man of faith and strong values who did not have time to judge others, as he was far too busy living his life as the example of what a good man should be.   While I have everyone’s ear, I am begging for us all to do our best to follow my father’s example. I need to see more kindness. Not just for me, as, although I am suffering immensely, I know I am not the only one suffering. Suffering is happening all over the world, every single one of us is dealing with something, and yet we act otherwise. Remember that the person you speak to is a human just like you are; that most of us want the same things such as happiness, love, and the best for our families and friends, and that most of our disagreements come from simply a difference of opinion in how to get there.   Go be nice to someone. Go have the conversations I wish I could have with my father. Go do something good, go say something kind -- because I can absolutely promise you, there is no limit to how cruel the world can be on its own.   I’ll see everyone soon.   Kat   P.S. Less than a week before my dad died, I had to put Cheens down.

My seemingly healthy, strong father Daniel “Dad Timpf” Timpf died very unexpectedly on the evening of May 7 at just 69 years old.   It does not seem like enough to simply call him my father, because he was so much more than that. He was my rock, my hero and my best friend. He was loyal, funny, kind, selfless, hard-working, and so devoted to his children that it was impossible to be near him and not find yourself inspired. He was a writer, a painter, a sailor, and somehow knowledgeable on every subject from world history to literature to accounting. He was the most dependable person anyone has ever met. I always felt like, as long as I had his phone number, there was not a problem I could not solve. I needed him here with me; I am not okay, and I am far from the only person who feels this.   The birth of my son in February 2025, his first grandchild, was supposed to be a happy new beginning for our family. A family that had been already once devastated by an untimely loss: the loss of my mother Anne Marie to a rare disease in 2014 just a matter of weeks after her diagnosis.   The joy of my son’s birth was, of course, complicated by my also very unexpected breast cancer diagnosis just a matter of hours before going into labor with him. During this time, my dad did what he did best, which was to save the day. As soon as he heard about my diagnosis, he simply got into the car and started driving to New York -- making it through the tunnel just as my  son was born…on the day that happened to be his own birthday, as well.   In the tumultuous time of a simultaneous new cancer diagnosis and new baby, my dad was the sole reason for our stability, rushing in to help care for our son, and returning to do so again for my double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and any time that we ever needed him. It was an awful, awful year… but I found so much joy and hope throughout it by watching the beauty of a very special relationship form between my son and my father. This horrible thing that was happening was creating such a very special bond between the two of them -- almost making the terrible thing worth it -- and I was so excited to see how that bond would grow.   The bond was of top priority for my father, who visited from Michigan often. I saw him last on the Monday before he died, and my son was so proud to help his grandfather push his suitcase down to the car as he left. The goodbyes were quick. Why wouldn’t they be? We would all see each other again at the beginning of June, when we would all head to Texas for my shows and to see my grandpa. We wanted to make sure that my son could spend as much time as he could with his great-grandfather. He is, after all, 93.   I was certainly not over the trauma of my cancer or having to amputate the breasts I so badly wanted to feed my son with, but the one thing I could always count on to get me through my worst moments was seeing my son’s and my father’s faces light up when they saw each other, be it during the visits or our routine morning and bedtime FaceTime calls.   That is, at least, until I had to hear over the phone from a doctor I had never met in an emergency room in the same town up north that I’d previously announced to my father that I was pregnant that my dad was dead; I would never see him again, and neither would my son. It would turn out that last year was not the hard one, after all. Rather, it was the one I would now do anything to relive. I would amputate my breasts every year just to be able to speak with him one more time, even for five minutes.   I am currently living an unimaginable horror. For many people, this is a tragic story. For me, it’s my life. I do not know how I will recover from it. I only know that I have to for the sake of what is left of my family.

Before her historic video appearance alongside Prince William for St David’s day, there were no expectations set for the role of “princess of wales”, besides being the “wife to the Prince Of Wales”.    The expectations were rather on the Prince of Wales to do his bit to build ties with the country by learning about the culture and the language. And William has been doing exactly that brilliantly. What we never expected, was to see Catherine as committed to her role as he is to the point of learning Welsh right alongside him🤩    In that, Catherine has redefined the Role of “Princess of Wales” as an equal team player who has lived in Wales alongside the Prince of Wales, who shows the same genuine appreciation for the welsh culture and who is even learning to speak the ancient language. And That my dears, is exactly how the Wales are quietly modernising the Monarchy from the inside out🔥  “Pushing the boundaries seamlessly” is something Catherine has always done in Life. In her path to Royal Life, you soon realise that Catherine is a very intelligent and disciplined overachiever. Whatever she sets her mind to do, she commits to it with a determined focus and always exceeds the standard to achieve excellence👌🏽 • In Marlborough, Catherine was not just “another Pupil”, she was one of their best academic student in the school, one of their best student athlete who was Captain of the hockey team with her team losing fewer than one in six matches during her final year; she set athletic record in the high jump, swimming and tennis; some of her athletic records even remained unbroken for 20 years🔥; •Furthermore, Catherine did not just participate in the Duke of Edinburgh award but she completed the the full program, including the expeditions and achieved the highest level, the Gold Duke of Edinburgh award, while she was in sixth form at Marlborough.    • When she graduated St Andrews university, Catherine graduated with a 2:1 honorable degree in the Art History, making her the FIRST future Queen in British Royal history to hold a university degree👌🏽 • When it comes to marrying, Catherine married as high as you can for someone who is a ‘natural overachiever’; She married the Future King of the UK making her the Future Queen of the country. Now top that😅 • Catherine’s streak for “Excellence” followed her in Royal life: She did not just overcome media scrutiny, public bullying and the snobbism directed her way to  sucessfully integrate into the RF, but she conquered the monarchy and the British Public to become the very beloved and popular Face of the entire Monarchy and one of the most culturally relevant Woman of our time.    This is who Catherine has always been: a perfectionist who always push the boundaries to achieve excellence. The magic with her is that she uses such tact and grace that one barely notices she is breaking traditions and creating new ones🔥 In that, Catherine is a “Quiet Storm”, a “spine of steel” hidden behind a kind smile and her gentle nature and that is why she is the “perfect match” for William.    As the saying goes, “Only Iron can cut Iron”. William has an ambitious vision of change for the Monarchy. Therefore, when looking for a wife, William was not just looking for “another pretty Aristocrat who would bear him children and look fancy on his arm”;  He was looking for an Equal partner who would help him in his vision for the future and Catherine is exactly that👌🏽 They share the same vision for their marriage, their family and their Monarchy and that is why they make such a striking and fascinating couple😍. William and Catherine are evenly matched, they display the singular intimacy that exists when a couple know each other and trust each other deeply and they compliment each other exquisitely. Thus, the Future of the Monarchy is solidly anchored on their shoulders☕️ #PrinceandPrincessOfWales

Why is it that this President refuses to even pretend that he cares about following the law?! I’ve been stomping & telling people that this election is life or death! CONGRESS, not the PRESIDENT, but CONGRESS has the EXCLUSIVE authority to declare war! Speaker Johnson needs to call us in IMMEDIATELY & it is time for the House & the Senate to pass a war powers resolution! This is how you prove your love and respect for the constitution. This is how you show your constituents that you are truly patriots! It is time for us, collectively, as Dems and Repubs to stand up to this President. Please call your reps in the house and the senate and urge them to take a vote on a war powers resolution!

In America, we don’t allow one doddering, self obsessed old man to waste our money on a dangerous, disastrous overseas war. No, in America the people decide if we go to war. Congress needs to be reconvened today to rein in an out of control President who thinks he is a king.

@GavinNewsom Not a war, not illegal, its called the Powers Resolution of 1973 and the Authorization for Use of Military Force. The Gang of 8 were notified. You're a governor, how do you not know this? So please shut up, stay off SM and go away.

The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons. The leadership of Iran must go. But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war that will risk the lives of our American service members and our friends without justification to the American people. President Trump is putting Americans at risk abroad because he is unpopular at home.

President Trump’s decision to initiate military hostilities into Iran starts another unnecessary war which endangers our servicemembers and destabilizes an already fragile region. The Constitution is clear: decisions that lead our nation into war must be authorized by Congress.
