If you have the time, the space, and the spoons, chop your extra veg up while it's still fresh-ish, put it in ziploc bags and freeze it. You can cook or eat it little by little for weeks if not months. It can save you a lot on food waste.

*spoons= mental/physical energy or capacity

Here's a schematic I published in this 2021 piece to illustrate how even a modest delay in onset of rainy season in Southern California can dramatically amplify wildfire risk by lengthening seasonal overlap between dry vegetation and strong offshore winds during Oct-Jan. #CAfire

Meanwhile, east of the Rocky Mountains...an ENORMOUS swath of Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings in effect, as a major storm makes its way eastward over the next couple of days.

Concentrating on "there is no way for sites to comply with this bill without invading the privacy of every person who uses the internet and creating a registry of what sites you visit and what you do there" is the best attack vector because there is no possible argument against it.

No on KOSA! Don't destroy the privacy of all Americans Text SIGN PMQICO to 50409 to send this to your officials.

I always encourage people to call their Senators directly. The Resistbot tool is a great one to use for those who do not like to or cannot make phone calls. Text RESIST to 50409 to contact your Senators directly

Thanks for the inspiration

My older daughter drew this so now I have to share it with you all. I believe it originally started as the scene from Jurassic Park, but then life… ahh… found a way.

The life expectancy in 1850 was 38.5 years which shows how useless vaccines, antibiotics and modern medicine is.
Oh, the good old days when your immune system was all you had.

Don’t know if you’ve ever seen this, but it’s a great blog series on the behavior of estranged parents (www.issendai.com/psychology/e...). It’s shocking how many of the abusive behaviors listed have been repeated in this thread. Not being able/willing to hear the problem is so real

Inside #SearchTheLandfill Movement MMIW is an epidemic of violence against Indigenous women. The #searchthelandfill movement aims to spread awareness about this targeted bloodshed.

The movement was started by the families of Indigenous women murdered at the hands of a serial killer in Manitoba, Canada who are demanding that their loved ones be recovered from Prairie Green Landfill. For the first time in years, there’s hope. Read my latest for Atmos. atmos.earth/mmiw-inside-...

My cousin (the other "oldest of three assumed-daughter" on that side of the family) and I discovered by talking to each other that we both only had Real Emotions to our parents if those emotions were the Expected Emotions. Anything else was just "being dramatic for attention."

I have my first Bluesky invite code. Is there a place to donate it to someone with chronic illness or a scientist?

Thank you. Such a tiny footnote. I'll run it past my doctor who also missed it. Does it imply I need a doctor's note? The reference to "clinical judgment of a healthcare provider" I read = no doctor's note for 2nd dose, but doctors note for more doses. Hate having to fight this each year.
