This is how I use DoorDash. I scroll until something sounds good, and then I cook a version of that at home.

This is what workshops are for. People can just sit together and talk about their creative endeavors, which helps everybody be more creative without killing rainforests or whatever.

I have approximately 40lbs of Rancho Gordo dried beans, at least 7lbs of rice, a 5lb bag of dehydrated mixed vegetables, and a reasonable stash of bouillon cubes. This isn’t a prepper hoard, I rotate through it all and restock regularly, RG just has a lot of fun bean options…

I just got rid of the jars of Manic Panic (Shocking Blue, After Midnight) that I’ve been hanging onto since 2011. Thank you for your thoughts in these trying times.

My English teacher wasn’t allowed to assign her story at my (public, abstinence only) high school. Telling us this is exactly how she got the entire class to read extra Chaucer for fun.

No this was perfect

Joyce Carol Oates tweets: “bad husband” to whom? Like many oft-married men, Norman Mailer wound up finally with a much younger, adoring, & altogether wonderful wife (Norris Church) whom everyone liked. Womanizers all eventually wear out, it just takes time and if you’re lucky, you are the last wife.

I can’t find a screenshot of the response, but she tweeted this and someone replied, “To the wife he stabbed, Joyce”

I’m so stumped on boy names I might just set up a name suggestion box at my shower. This is a terrible idea and yet somehow more appealing than just putting Boy on his birth certificate.

I paid for one ex’s Applebees on my own 21st birthday, two weeks after he used my cash to buy valentine’s dinner and pocketed the change ❤️

This seems even better than the inside out ghost method I’ve grown to love.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Get in, loser, we’re banning Goodnight Moon unless you’re specializing in older literature at a collegiate level

Ooooh and that yarn looks so soft!

Meet Minnesota Bathrobe Lady Sam Stroozas of MPR News | Minnesota Public Radio Earlier this week, an unexpected and fast-moving incident unfolded in St. Paul, Minnesota involving both federal and local law enforcement. As crowds gathered and questions mounted, one of our MPR New...

A brown tabby with white paws is sprawled out with her belly exposed. She is jobless.

This one is somehow never a trap

Sat down last night and wrote a bit about red hats, resistance, and Norwegian identity. paper-tiger.net/2026/02/06/o...

Anne Frank likely died in a typhus epidemic that spread through the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp

History rhymes, it rhymes

Close the camps, set fire to the prisons

This can vary by state! In Minnesota they are tied to the vehicle rather than the person, but we still don’t need to know or use the plate number very often.

State control of historical memory is a classic hallmark of authoritarian regimes, just FYI.

In high school, I went into the ditch less than a mile from my very rural home. 3 cars stopped to help in the 5 minutes it took my dad to get there. The 3rd waited until he arrived to make sure I wasn’t stuck too long. I cannot imagine a more sincere expression of contempt from a Minnesotan.

Worst plot, best knitwear.

It is my final week commuting through DC, where I’ve had to pass the national guard every day for months, before moving home to Minnesota. Lots of feelings, mostly rage.

They’ll adopt Denmark’s vaccine guidelines but not Denmark’s health care or parental leave policies.

My grandmother literally referred to herself as the Instant Mom. My dad still talks about how much better the food was when he joined the navy.

I think about him every time I make a sandwich. “Lettuce, tomato, lettuce, meat meat meat meat meat, cheese, lettuce.”

Ornaments or coasters using a rolling pin and cookie cutters?

Best guess: Some vaccines are developed with fetal cell lines, others use a small amount of pork derived gelatin as a stabilizer. So a religion might not ban vaccines as a whole, but some people may be opposed to specific vaccines due to their personal faith.
