This seems really unfair. You deserve compensation! It's not ok when weeks are tricksy like this!!

Well, no, I don't, since that acquisition only happened in 2020.

But looking it up did lead me to learn that they discontinued the iconic shape of the old fashioned donut in 2003! Bzuh! I didn't leave New England until 05, surprised I missed that! (Shows how much I like donuts & shitty coffee 🤷)

That is some career dedication, tbh

This just made me realize I have no idea how far back the New England cultural identity thing with Dunkies goes; I can only vouch with confidence somewhere into the 90s

Public comment period on the proposed BLM logging radical increase in Oregon old-growth forests ends March 23, 2026.

We have very few old-growth forests left, and once they cut it... Welp.

Here's info on how to comment.

Notice of Intent To Revise Resource Management Plans for Northwestern and Coastal Oregon and Southwestern Oregon in Oregon/Washington and Prepare an Associated Environmental Impact Statement In support of the Oregon and California Revested Railroad Lands Act of 1937 (O&C Act), in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA), and the Federal Land Policy ...

In case it helps, here's the Notice of Intent re changed to BLM Oregon timber production in the Federal Register:

Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.

You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻‍♀️

We must accept the fact that this may well be a book unacceptable to any publisher, as it requires work on the part of the reader. NOBODY has ever wanted to publish ANY of our recipes in any publication whatsoever thus far. So that may well indicate something.… HELL AND DAMNATION, is all I can say. WHY DID WE EVER DECIDE TO DO THIS ANYWAY? But I can’t think of doing anything else, can you?

A chance to re-up this great quote by Julia Child, in a letter to one of her co-authors while the book was in preparation, circa 1960

I love fox grapes (new world grapes, not to be confused with European wine/table grapes) & growing up there were vines that grew as weeds up the road. Wonderfully unwanted and the taste of September in my memory!

I really think the whole notion of “bearing witness” has gotten deeply twisted

“Witness” does not mean merely to observe firsthand. It means to carry truth and to testify to that truth in the pursuit of justice

You don’t need to traumatize yourself in order to know that atrocities are happening

You don’t need to destroy a part of your soul in order to speak out against injustice that you know exists

I still have never seen the George Floyd video. I didn’t need to. I knew the truth of it and I knew I could testify to that truth without consuming a spectacle of Black suffering and death

IT FUCKED ME UP SO GOOD 😭😭😭

I guess maybe some (hockey) guys are into sandpaper?

maybe?

Kip uhauled too close to the sun!

I love this comment in particular

I was honestly not psyched about going back to the Let's Never Ever Communicate Or Exist In Community storyline at the end of that episode (but I felt like it did get better once they let them occasionally speak to other! characters!! (beyond Yuna))

William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

My one take re Liz Bruenig's Atlantic piece: looking for a post Ziz read on bsky, I searched "this is how a child dies of measles", sorted by latest, & then scrolled back thru ~40 posts

I was arrested by falling off 3 days ago onto 5 month old links about an actual school-age child dying of SSPE

Oh, no.

This pigeon ran me around for TWENTY MINUTES I'm so glad Maggie entered her gold leaf era to do it justice!!! 🪶

the way I SPUTTERED--

Otoh I'm trying to set up a kitchen for active use by adults who like to prepare food with a spread of something like 16" in height? So that's a puzzle I do not yet have a solution for.

I recently moved and the difference in particularly bathroom vanity heights is STARK. I used to feel like I was folding in half to brush my teeth or splash water on my face, where now it's just the unmarked state of counter height. An intense relief.

...I don't know if I realized until just now that I'm pretty sure I have literally never had an office at a job. Huh.

oh, that sounds like a class I would LOVE to take

oh dear, I guess I need to read this

I come across copies at approximately every third store I look at used books at

But, like. with TURNOVER.

Why do I want to see your book posts, art posts, happy posts, pained posts, music posts, love posts, human posts, confused posts, did-the-thing posts, look at my garden posts, here's a poem of compassion posts? Because we're not here to cede our hearts to those who exist for ruin.

i can confirm the chats I’m in which include renowned security specialists - people who actually advise on how to protect your comms from authoritarian dictators for a living - also think this outburst of paranoia about Signal is really weird and unwarranted
