Karnacopia of good things

Hal Lindsey has a lot to answer for.

Sure, this happens a bit. But the fraction of babies granted citizenship because their parents were wealthy and thinking about future college is VANISHINGLY SMALL.

Are you ok with poor kids going hungry to stop wealthy kids from getting a free lunch? you are making the same argument.

Do not ask people if they are pregnant.
Do not ask people if they are using Ozempic.
Do not ask people if they have had work done.

This is not hard, people.

100% to all of that. The only drawback of that palatial crawl space is the amount of stuff that could be stashed down there and forgotten. (I am deep
in my Swedish death cleaning phase)

How is that different than a basement? Dirt instead of a concrete floor?

Classic tabby with a crumpled ear rests her heavy head on a piece of driftwood, on a wooden window seat, in a sunroom. It’s wet and rainy outside.

Chin support for napping.

I know the following comment is pretty content free, but my visceral response is ‘WT actual F”. Does he have any humanity?’

I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

One can never have too many favorite TMBG playlists.

This doesn’t seem like someone’s outdoor cat, because they spend the really stormy seattle nights in our shed, they are super skittish, and there is no collar. There are no matching signs in the neighborhood so I would like to see if there is a chip.

We have a suspected homeless cat in our neighborhood. A big sweetie who sometimes hangs out in our shed. The raccoons and jays “share” the kibble we left out for the cat, and we are pretty sure we would trap a lot of raccoons before we got the cat.

oooh, rice krispy treats. i have marshmallows left over from christmas.

^^ this. Hilariously, my SoCal raised husband figured out Turkish driving culture immediately, but 3 years on Seattle still makes him crazy.

Istanbul is not bad once you get used to it and the Roman ruins all over.

One of my proudest moments is making a u-turn on the Bosphorus bridge. Couldnt exit fast enough and when I saw the traffic in the other direction, I turned around just past the toll booth. Even Turks were impressed.

Live long and be merry.

call a stager, STAT!

thank you, Amanda who is in security at the Hard Rock Casino north of Sacramento! The CPR you performed last Friday saved my mother-in-laws life.

This would have been a very different Christmas without your cool head and strong hands.

The TM really makes it.

Pumpkin pie is the best breakfast. It’s got eggs, milk, vegetables — all the healthy things!

how quickly some people forget.

don’t look away.

Quip is bad. But i am in a panic that Salesforce is taking it away because what is we have to move everything to
Confluence?

Doesn’t everyone, eventually?

When people say rye-k everyone gets quiet and then someone takes them aside to explain why we don’t use that pronunciation. It would be funny if it were fiction.

I have kanban system for the day itself — a post it note for each dish and the cupboard doors for the board. The post its move from not started -> prep -> assemble -> cook/bake -> ready -> table.

I haven’t forgotten a dish since I started this system.

Yesterday my feed was full of comments about two different sandwich guys. Didn’t see that coming.

I think of him every time I have a grilled cheese sandwich.

I just got a mini cpap for use while traveling, especially for overnight trips (it’s FAA approved!). It’s adorable! So wee! 2/3 of a pound!

This is the first time that my carryon strategy won’t be centered on managing a resmed airsense, 2+ feet of awkward tubing, a mask and the cord.

Some things take more than one try because they are so difficult and imagining life on the other side is impossible-leaving an abuser, no longer relying on addictive substances, transitioning in the face of hatred and shaming. Every try takes courage, trying 2 or 5 or 10 times is not cowardice.
