Today? If Texas wants to fuck around, I'm going to applaud Virginia & California for saying "watch me".

We can do sweeping Voting Rights Act level reforms on district representation when our trans loved ones aren't in mortal danger & people aren't dying because Roe v Wade fell while we bomb 100 little girls to death with our blood buddy, Israel.

I think everybody should be allowed 1 Weekend at Bernie's joke this term & some people are reeeeally over budget.

Feels like every week now there's some rumor about how trump "hasn't been seen in days" & it means something hopeful. Stop playing with me!

"The president is being heard from—but he has not been photographed for 72 hours"

Okay?? I don't have any frame of reference it's that abnormal any more.

It was a hard season for me for personal reasons regarding the Dr Robby plot line, so I think I'll be able to enjoy some of the other parts of the season more if I do a rewatch

We should've patented it while we had the chance! lol

I agree & that always risks untenable escalation. Not that I don't WANT a Godzilla attack season of The Pitt, but.

I do want like ANYBODY to go to therapy tho 😭

You're not lazy hon, you're not feeling well!

I hope it works & I hope I get used to the feeling 😭

Oh, I was going to tell you that I ALSO have just this week started using Aquaphor on my face. It's a big thing when you're on Accutane, so I bought a tub & then I got a slight sunburn. I did NOT expect that consistency lol everything I've ever bought in a tub like that was a cream lotion.

Did I see your WW shield sold? I had it favorited & in my cart to help encourage people who saw it to snap it up & POOF!

My method when I had a bunch of mouths to feed was to put them & a bunch of dried fruit in the crock pot before bed. That's very cozy in a cold wood-heated house in the morning.

Yeah, these are steel cut. You bring just bring water to a boil, dump the oats in, let it go for a minute, then kill the heat & go to bed, which I prefer over boiling them for 20-30 min.

And I already can't remember the water:oat ratio lol

I do NOT like the idea of them plotting together, that's for effing sure.

oils = oats. Thanks autocorrect, A+ work.

This part of the yard is land locked by sidewalks, so I'm letting it kind of meadow out. It's a weird area that's hard to mow due to surface maple roots, so we're just gonna stop mowing & I'm planting more meadowy flowers there as soon as the risk of frost passes.

I see people selling their bluebell bulbs on Nextdoor & FB, if you want a little pocket cash for digging them up!

OR post that somebody can come have as many as they want if they come dig them lol

"Discovered", like she's running the Test Kitchen, revolutionizing the oat.

That's some Chris Columbus type discovering.

I don't mind a story-filled recipe post. Just scroll.

But it's been so long since I made them I had to look up the water:oat ratio for overnight oats. This blogger said "After much experimentation, I discovered boiling the oils for 1min gives the best results"

GIRL THAT'S THE 100s-YEARS-OLD METHOD

Only thing I'd do different is I'll distract them while my husband speeds away to get the cats!

I think Dante wrote about this

A mostly white calico looks up at the camera, staying very very close to a little couch work station were somebody is laying out bluebell flowers on a vintage flower press. A vintage orange/brown Tupperware container holds more cut bluebells in the corner.

A large cluster of bluebells is in the foreground, with a stalk of bright white ones in the center. The background blurs into a field of bluebells. One dandelion is trying to get a little space in this meadowy part of the yard.

Bluebells arranged on a flower press, both as individual flowers & clusters on stalks. They range in color from a dark blue purple, to lavender, to a lovely pink, to white.

Wanted to cut some English daisies from the yard to press before it rains, but it's so gray out they're still curled up like it's night time. The clover is open, but the daisies are not having it!

Pressing bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) instead, in an experiment to see how they hold up.

That makes the most sense! They got me to go through the craft closet, tricky little buggers.

During covid at-home-ness, I started Saturday morning cartoons & name brand kids' cereals. We had a great time & rotated weekends on who selected the shows. We started at like noon, since you can't oversleep YouTube & end up stuck with just watching golf/tennis lol

Thank you for sneaking back into my house & putting the flower press right back where I thought it was, but cleverly just barely hidden by something not even fully covering it, making it invisible to the adhd brain.

Very tricky of you!

Every night I end up curled up in a small ball because the cats sleep where my feet once went, then in the morning I think "Why don't I just move them?! THEY fall immediately back to sleep!"

We are too polite lol

Hi whichever one of you sneaked into my house & stole my flower press, I need it back please.

I don't think it's fair to involve innocent people in your craft gang initiations 😔

why do things like this never happen to me

I'm sorry, didn't she drop out of a movie last year when people were upset she was cast to fill the role of a Latina character?

Oh lol I always assumed people were talking about people like my dad who got us there 3.5-4 hours early. And that was back in the day you could roll up to the desk 15 minutes before the scheduled flight time & still get on board.
