In June 2026, British media outlets reported that a 48-year-old man, Damon Bennett, and a 51-year-old woman, Tricia Coley, from Williamsburg, Kentucky, were arrested after authorities found narcotics inside multiple bags they were carrying. 

The investigation began when their car was spotted in an “Employees Only” parking space of a local business in London, Kentucky, at around 11:30 a.m. on June 18. 

During interrogation, Croley allegedly gave the police a plastic bag containing contraband and another that had some sort of tablets. The ID she showed the police for self-identification belonged to another female individual.

When the deputies searched the vehicle, they found a black bag containing a crystal-like substance, a bag of green leafy material, and several other items of substance paraphernalia. 

The bag was labeled “Definitely Not A Bag Full Of Dr**s,” according to reports.

Netizens had a field day over the label, flooding social media with jokes and memes.

“That is some Scooby-Doo-level villain shenanigans right there,” one person said. Another wrote, “In the box of the least brightest crayons…they are the piece of chalk.”

“An officer wearing a shirt that said ‘Definitely Not A Cop’ making the arrest would have made this story much better,” a third joked. 

“Did the bumper sticker say ‘Definitely An Employee?’” a fourth posted, referring to their parked vehicle.

“I bet the combination on their luggage is 1234,” another comment read.

Both Bennett and Croley were arrested on the spot and taken to the Laurel County Corrections Center. A check of Croley’s true identity showed she had an outstanding warrant, and so did Bennett.

Croley was arrested on the spot with four charges as of now: giving an officer false identification, possession of a controlled substance (first degree), possession of a controlled substance (third degree), and possession of controlled substance paraphernalia. 

Bennett was arrested on the charge of failure to appear stemming from a previous case. Jail records show he was released after posting a $100 bond.

Two other similar arrests have occurred in the last two years.

In October 2024, police officers pulled over a car that was reported stolen in Portland, Oregon, and found a bag inside with the same label. It contained 230g of narcotics, 79 fentanyl pills, and 3 fake oxycodone tablets. 

Reginald Reynolds and Mia Baggenstos, who were in the car, were arrested on charges of possession of a substance and a stolen vehicle.

A few months later, in January 2025, Florida’s Teryn Acri was arrested with a similar bag, only 10 days after she was released from jail on a $15,500 bond. 

A deputy searched a vehicle she was traveling in as a passenger after a K9 unit dog detected something amiss. Acri had a bag labeled “Definitely Not a Bag Full Of D**gs,” which contained narcotics and substance paraphernalia, including needles and digital scales. 

Her previous detention was also substance-related. 

“In Brevard County, we have zero tolerance for crime, especially when it comes to people putting poison out on our streets!” Sheriff Wayne Ivey wrote in a Facebook post at the time, condemning Acri’s earlier release on a “ridiculous” bond amount.

Trends come and go, but truly thoughtful design has a way of outlasting the era it was created in. Whether it’s an intricately carved staircase, a beautifully proportioned armchair, an Art Deco cinema, a centuries-old front door, or a perfectly preserved mid-century interior, these spaces and objects continue to captivate because they reflect craftsmanship, creativity, and an attention to detail that never goes out of style. They also offer a fascinating glimpse into how people across different periods and cultures shaped the places they lived in, and the objects they chose to surround themselves with.

That’s exactly what the Design History community celebrates. Bringing together hundreds of thousands of design enthusiasts, architects, collectors, and history lovers, it has become a place where remarkable examples of historical design are preserved and shared. From furniture, lighting, and illustrations to entire homes, movie sets, restorations, and decorative details, the community highlights the enduring beauty of well-crafted design.

Hi friends, it’s great to be back to share some favourites from the week.

How The Week Started

My week started off a bit meh with a wet, rainy start that didn’t help my mood. My brain already felt all jumbled up with dreading an upcoming appointment, and I was also trying to figure out some work and weekend plans at the same time.

Then, during the last part of the week, things turned around, and everything that had been cluttering my brain started to settle. I could feel my usual feel-good feelings coming back. Yay!

I guess most of my favourite moments from the week happened after Wednesday, so let’s just forget Monday and Tuesday and jump into Wednesday.

Wednesday Win

I was majorly excited to receive my discounted winter offer box of natural cleaning products from Marlow and Peach.

Can anyone else relate to this?

This brand kept popping up in my newsfeed with promises of making my home smell clean and fresh, just like a hotel. And if there’s one thing that will get my attention, it’s the promise of that fresh hotel smell.

The winter starter kit came with a few seasonal scent concentrates, along with a free glass spray bottle and microfibre cloth. All you do is fill the bottle with the natural cleaning mix and water. Then you can use it on pretty much every surface in the house. Bingo!

While I’m not sure the scent lasts quite as long as I’d like, the microfibre cloth is really good and leaves everything looking shiny. I also love the pretty glass spray bottle.

Thursday was a Good One

On Thursday, the sun was shining and the skies turned a brilliant blue. It was such a welcome sight after only seeing grey skies for days. In the morning, I ducked out of work for my doctor’s appointment, and hooray, I got the all-clear on my results. I also don’t have to see Dr Tina for five years, yeehaa, amazing!

With the sun finally out and the appointment out of the way, I think Thursday might have just been my favourite day of the week.

Last Day of Term Two

And today was the last day of Term Two! Oh my goodness, for the first time in a while it was an 11-week term and boy did it feel loooong.

I shouldn’t even be complaining as I started in week 2 after we got back from Japan. But even so, it still felt extra long for everyone — the staff, the children, and the parents.

Well… maybe not the parents. I think they probably see the upcoming two-week holidays as the really long part!

End of Term Clean-Up

Today we spent every available minute cleaning like we were possessed by the cleaning fairy, scrubbing, wiping, and sorting as fast as we could.

It felt really good to see the classrooms looking so fresh again, and there’s something about everyone getting stuck into it together as a team. It’s almost like team building, haha.

Hello School Holidays

So now I’m on term break, except I have to go in to work for three hours on Monday to do a first aid course. But that’s okay, as we don’t usually have to go in once the term break starts.

I’m feeling very excited for the next two weeks of school holidays. After the clunky start to the week, it feels so good to end on a high.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Linking up with Andrea and Erika

Nature photography is often associated with patience, timing, and a willingness to wait for fleeting moments. For Austrian photographer Ory Schneor, however, the goal extends beyond documenting what he sees. His photographs invite viewers to look more closely at the natural world, revealing the remarkable detail, texture, and individuality found in everything from birds and mammals to insects, fungi, and plants. Rather than chasing dramatic scenes, Schneor creates carefully composed images that encourage a deeper appreciation of nature, transforming familiar subjects into striking portraits that feel both intimate and timeless.

Based in Vienna, Schneor is an award-winning photographer whose work has received international recognition in competitions including National Geographic, One Eyeland, the CEWE Photo Award, and the Austrian Professional Photographers Association. Although he is also well known for his portrait and concert photography, his lifelong fascination with nature has become one of the defining themes of his artistic work.

Hi friends, and welcome to the June edition of What’s Up Wednesday. Time to share a little about what’s been going on in June. Thanks so much for stopping by!

What We’re Eating

Monday – Roast beef and veggies. It’s the perfect winter meal!

Tuesday – Leftover roast beef

Wednesday – Steak, chips and salad

Thursday – Dinner at Allawah pub, so I’ll most likely order a chicken schnitzel with two lots of gravy. Because it’s winter, we’ve decided that if we want to eat out, we’re going to keep it local.

Allawah pub and Lilong Chinese restaurant are our local winter hangs. In the summer we’ll venture out to Newtown and the city.

Friday – Spaghetti and meatballs. I went to Ikea last Sunday and left with home organisation things and frozen meatballs.

The weekend is full of surprises because I have no meal plan.

What I’m Reminiscing About

Warm weather!

What I’m Loving

I was thinking about this prompt and came up with a whole list of things I’m not loving because it’s winter. So that’s not great.

Hmmmmm……I really had to dig deep, and I came up with winter fashion.

Yes, I think I do love winter fashion because you get to wear more clothes. Haha, that sounds weird. What I mean is that you get to wear a variety of layers, mix and match outfits, and accessorise. In summer, especially in Sydney, it’s often too hot to wear much beyond the basics. Winter gives you a lot more options, and I do enjoy putting outfits together.

What We’ve Been Up To

At the risk of sounding boring, nothing particularly exciting is happening right now. It’s the usual work and home routine, as well as cosy nights.
But I’ve realised that sometimes the ordinary weeks, when everything is just moving along as it should be, are actually the good ones. I’ve come to appreciate the “boring” seasons because they usually mean everyone I love is okay and life is steady.

What I’m Dreading

Whenever I dread anything, it’s usually medical-related. If you’ve been reading along, you’ll know I have major anxiety about anything to do with going to see a doctor. But yay to me, I still show up for the usual tests even though the stress of them probably takes years off my life (dramatic much).

I got some blood test results back today. A few things were a bit low or high, nothing serious, but it does mean another follow-up test in four months.

I really need to stop leaving every appointment feeling like I’ve been given a dramatic life sentence when, in reality, it’s all manageable.

What I’m Watching

Oh my goodness, I binge-watched Gavin and Stacey in June, and I absolutely loved it! It’s a British comedy written by James Corden and Ruth Jones about two families from very different parts of the UK whose lives get connected when Gavin from Essex and Stacey from Wales fall in love.

I love every single character, and I’ve told everyone I know that their lives are not complete until they watch this series. So far, only one coworker has taken my advice, and now her life is so much better for it. Every morning she greets me with, “What’s occurring, Miss Ruth?” Haha. IYKYK.

What I’m Listening To

This month it’s all about 90s music… Whoomp! There It Is!

What I’m Wearing

I bought this jacket from Zara, and I’ve been wearing it a lot this season.

I’ve also been wearing my very bright Onitsuka Tiger sneakers I bought in Japan.

What I’m Doing This Weekend

It’s a no-plans weekend.

What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month

The July school holidays! Woop woop! I’ve got some fun outings planned with friends, and I also have tickets to see Disney on Ice. Gotta get a Disney fix!

That’s a wrap for June! We’re halfway through the year already, and I’m still convinced we had Christmas about five minutes ago. Time is wild.

Hope your June was a good one — here’s to an amazing July!

Human behavior rarely makes as much sense as we like to believe. A casual remark at the dinner table can spiral into an argument, a well-intentioned comment can land entirely wrong, and the conversations we have every day are often filled with contradictions, insecurities, and unspoken assumptions. These subtle social dynamics have long fascinated cartoonist David Sipress, who has built a career around exposing them with remarkable precision.

As a longtime contributor to The New Yorker, Sipress specializes in finding humor where most people wouldn’t think to look, in the familiar settings of everyday life. His cartoons rarely rely on elaborate scenarios or outlandish characters. Instead, they focus on ordinary people navigating marriages, friendships, family relationships, work, and the endless complexities of modern existence. The brilliance lies in how a single line of dialogue can suddenly reveal an uncomfortable truth, an unexpected irony, or a flaw in the logic we use to make sense of the world.

Kyoto Day Trip from Osaka

Our trip to Japan felt a bit like a tasting menu. We got a taste of so many incredible places, but there’s always one you wish you’d gone back to for seconds. Kyoto was that place for me, and next time we visit Japan, I’ll definitely be ordering the large portion of Kyoto!

We organised a full-day trip to Kyoto while we were staying in Osaka, as it’s only about a 30-minute bullet train ride away. Even though we only had a day there, in true cousin connect travel style, we managed to pack quite a bit in.

Breakfast at 7-Eleven

Our first stop was 7-Eleven for something to eat. Oh my goodness, 7-Elevens in Japan are something else. The range of fresh food is amazing, and the prices are crazy cheap.

teamLab Biovortex Kyoto

After that, we spent over three hours at teamLab Biovortex, and as I said in the recap, I think it may have been the highlight of the trip.

Heading to Arashiyama

Then we stopped for burgers at Wagyu to Worldwide before heading out to Arashiyama to see the famous bamboo forest.

We took the train from central Kyoto out to Saga-Arashiyama, and from there walked through the streets towards the bamboo grove.

The whole area had such a peaceful, calm feel, and everything sounded almost muted. Maybe it was because we were surrounded by so much greenery and mountains. It gave the effect of being in a soundproof room. It’s kind of hard to explain, but that’s the closest I can describe it.

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

When we got to the bamboo forest, Sam, who visited Kyoto in 2024, told me it was really short, and we’d be through it in no time. Either he remembered it differently, or my sense of distance was completely off, because it felt so much longer than I was expecting.

I kept asking him how he thought it was short, but he couldn’t really remember. It’s a mystery.

Anyway, the bamboo forest was incredible, with towering bamboo all along the path.

I remember saying out loud, “I can’t believe I’m here.” I think I say that a lot when I’m overseas. It usually goes: “I can’t believe I survived the flight and landed,” and then, “I can’t believe I’m here,” whenever I see an amazing sight. Hehe.

At the end of the bamboo forest, we came across a small temple tucked away just off the path.

As we walked further through Arashiyama, we reached a small lookout where we could see the mountains rising around the area. So beautiful and peaceful.

Almost Made It (But Didn’t)

After the bamboo forest, we really wanted to visit the Tenryu-ji Temple gardens, which are right there next to the bamboo grove. But it was already too late, and even though we sprinted to try and make it before the gates closed at 5, we missed it.

The famous red gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha are also in Kyoto, but we needed another day to explore those as well. So that’s two big reasons to go back to Kyoto one day.

I think we did a great Kyoto day trip. It really was so beautiful and one of those days that felt like a lot, but still not quite enough at the same time. I hope to visit you again, Kyoto… you really stole my heart on this trip.
