A screenshot of a Reuters article stating that the US FDA suspended milk quality test workforce cuts.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

The irises are finally blooming!

There aren’t as many blooms this year, maybe because of the snow? Who knows, still very happy to see them :)

@gloredon.bsky.social - Here it is! Sorry I forgot to share sooner!

Also sorry if you get pinged twice, I had to repost haha

Our beautiful ‘68 Ford Torino GT

Basically a big Mustang haha

My partner’s been gradually fixing it up over the years and it runs great now! The radio even works xD

Typos >< haha

"There's more to life than being able to buy cheap garbage," sagely intones the man who had a complete mental breakdown from which he has never recovered because he couldn't go to big box stores and chain restaurants for 3 weeks in 2020.

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Scene from the film Marriage Story where Adam Driver's character is yelling while pointing at the camera, with updated subtitles that say, "Every day I wake up in the United States," followed by the scene where he turns around and hits the wall, then the third scene where he faces the camera again while covering his face with both hands and the "[crying]" subtitle.

I get why it's easy to say "America's looking bleak, stay away or get away," but the reality is that for the most part, people can't readily extricate their lives wholesale!

A cluster of oddly formed pearl oyster mushrooms grow off the side of a bare log, bits of punkwood stick to their caps, and their alabaster gills flow and swirl across their undersides. All photos by me

Here are some nice mushrooms

As an individual consumer, I might not be able to change the world, but I’d prefer to support folks who are trying rather than just mindlessly consuming everything.

One of my personal passions is learning about sustainable ethical practices and finding companies who transparently align with them.

I’m curious if there is a community here for that sort of thing? There are so many little companies out there with good missions I’d love to share and learn about!

My partner is on a business trip this week so of course I sent him this picture so he could have his morning Felix sock too hahaha

How else was he supposed to start the day?! 🤣

Felix loves socks so much that I gave him one of my favorite old comfy Maggie’s wool socks (his favorite too)

He brings it to us in the mornings to say good morning 🥰

Kiddo asks if ufos are real n I try n answer.

Here is an old comic. I am sick. Pity me.

Then it’s still cute but also wakes me up haha

Monkey bringing us toys so he can play with them beside us is really cute until it’s a crinkle toy at 3 AM.

Monkey likes to bring his toys so he can play with them beside me :)

This time he found a stick 😂

Happy orange cat has a silly smiley expression that looks like he’s either high or just farted

Orange cat is very interested in the camera and gets up close and personal, which has the comedic effect of making his little head look huge

Orange cat delights in destroying a crinkly fish toy

Orange cat who crammed himself in between the mattress and bed frame for indiscernible reasons. Yes he did this by himself and was quite happy about it.

Just Monkey being Monkey

He earned it too! Originally we were going to call him Indiana because he’s an explorer, but he jumps on everything and makes these cute little chirps that sound like a baby monkey haha

I will give them extra smooches haha

The UK has now issued a travel warning for the US: possible arrest or detention for failing to meet entry requirements.

Three orange fuzzies on a fuzzy blanket 🧡🧡🧡

lady of sophistication @janky_jane Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario Andrew Beatty V @AndrewBeatty Replying to @janky_jane I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket.

Matthew @MrWeir Replying to @janky jane I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'. Replying to @janky _jane My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her 15:53 • 8/16/21 • Twitter Web App

was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, "Where are we off to now. Columbo?" Eoin O Neill @eoinjoneill Replying to @janky_jane Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's"

Loic Wright @dufflest Replying to @janky jane I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it. Eóin O Coileáin @L20_MTN Replying to @janky_jane I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

I don’t know how to describe this but here goes: Little orange cat who likes being squished into small spaces has squeezed himself in between the mattress and footboard of a bed and is watching playfully with a foot stuck out.

Monkey offering his assistance as I make the bed. Such a helpful boy!
