We've been eating sandwiches for the last 2 weeks because my dog has been injured and caring for her is a 24/7 thing right now, but we got a Costco chicken and I made this salad last night, and when I tell you I haven't stopped thinking about it for the last 16 hours? IT TASTES LIKE SPRING.

If you live in a red state, one of the big political talking points is how the Dems want the gov't to be involved cradle-to-grave, explode the deficit, & hate fiscal responsibility. It's one of the biggest talking points. It's also one of the most easily refuted. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjHRCU2H/

BREAKING: Sweeping ProPublica report reveals over a dozen Trump officials conveniently sold off their shares just days before their president crippled the stock market with his sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs. https://trib.al/kxqc6ZJ

This feels like an absurdly bad-faith attack to me. It's true that there were no studies on *6 feet specifically*, but there is a mountain of evidence showing that social distance reduces COVID transmission. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/...

TFW when the worst person you know does something good.

I have genuinely been considering cancelling Netflix, but now I just found out that they made a deal to pick up Sesame Street, and that all the new eps will also go on PBS for free as well, and so now it's my civic duty to stay subscribed.

I go on a Quest for The Best Lemonade every summer. Last year I got it absolutely right. It hits the mark for ease, balance, and BRIGHT lemony flavor, and it's just such a treat 🍋

When I was young I had so much benefit-of-the-doubt to give men who talked about how difficult it was to be a good husband/father. About the heaviness of the responsibility, & their need to be catered to. I've been a breadwinner, platonic domestic partner, & co-parent for 14 years. The men lied?

This past week: My dog was injured & needs round-the-clock care, my niece had a 77hr labor followed by a c-section followed by an infection, my friend's non-verbal disabled child is in the NICU, my other friend got oral surgery yesterday, and my other friend got diagnosed with severe ADHD.

Binging The West Wing at night, and then waking up to this clown show every morning makes me truly feel like we've skipped timelines.

Did Trump and Pam Bondi make a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel? It would seem so, and now 17 cartel family members have been allowed to enter the U.S. apnews.com/article/el-c...

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

West Virginia coal miners lose black lung screenings after Trump slashes worker safety agency NIOSH

It is WILDLY unhelpful when folks who have some form of institutional credibility come out espousing huge conspiracy theories with absolutely zero evidence, and then newspapers pick the story up like, "current investment banker and former HUD assistant secretary to HW Bush just claimed XYZ".

Soooo, I'm finding out this morning that the form/forms on my website are absolutely not working, and I have no idea how long they've been broken. If you've sent something my way and I never answered, I'm extremely sorry!!!

Shoutout to Zwilling for the best customer service I've had in forever. My Staub Cocotte developed some chips in the enamel, and they are replacing it completely for free, even though I lost my receipt. It's my favorite pot, and I'm so happy.

More from the “pro-life” contingent. RFK Jr. and Bhattacharya have killed an NIH-funded program to reduce the number of babies who die in their sleep.

I'm gonna make this again extremely soon (because everyone in my house is eating it all the time), and I think the next round I'm going to add a frothy egg white to the mix to encourage more clumps and also help it stay crisp in milk for longer. I love a crispy, clumpy granola

So this makes it clear it’s a coordinated far right attack on society and government by a group of fascists and others openly planning on ending democracy.… A better title would have been “The fascist group chat that ended American democracy and is aiming for your democracy next”

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

The thing that is bringing me joy this morning is the unrelenting torrent of The Pitt edits on my FYP, including several of Taylor Deardon as Dr. Mel King calling her The People's Princess. 😭

I'm a Casual Granola Enjoyer. I like a little crispy top on the occasional yogurt, or eating out of a mug for a late night snack. I made the Eleven Madison Park granola (w a few tweaks I've written down below)-it turned out to be the best dadgum granola I've ever eaten. I've had it 5x in 2 days.
