I have noticed that some of my mutuals on other platforms are no longer following me here. Just a reminder, I was "vegmilwife" everywhere else.

I just made an amazing salad. I sliced and sautéed a homegrown zucchini with shallot. I then added that cooked mixture to a bowl containing a variety of homegrown tomatoes and some fresh basil (also homegrown). I finished it with some thick balsamic and salt and pepper. Delicious!

I am crying reading the news about Qatar. My husband spent a year there and I have friends there. His fucking stupid actions have real consequences and he doesn't give a shit.

IMPEACH NOW

Good garden harvest this morning! 2 zucchini Handful of Serrano chilies 1 large tomato 2 handfuls cherry tomatoes (red and yellow) Almost 3 lbs turnips I don't like turnips, but I ended up with some seeds last year and had leftovers so I planted them again.

Happy Solstice!

The new #Muse single, "Unravelling," is a banger. I hope the entire album is just as good!

If you know me, you know I love to honor holidays and observances with food. Tonight, we are having jerk "chicken", sweet potatoes, black-eyed peas, cornbread, coleslaw, collards, watermelon, and fruit punch. #Juneteenth

Good harvest day: 3 zucchini, 4 Serrano chilies, 1 eggplant, several cherry tomatoes, and the first (of many) blackberry. I have been harvesting small tomatoes for a while, but my first large tomato is starting to ripen. So far, so good!

I'm tired, y'all.

This is funny and scary at the same time. #AbolishICE www.dhs.gov/news/2025/06...

Today is a hard day. My older son, who lives overseas, is going through some stuff. He is finally getting the help he needs, but it breaks my heart he is so far away. My daughter, after living with us again for two years to finish college after covid, left today to start her next adventure.

For Father's Day, my husband wanted to watch Big Fish again. It makes me cry. Every. Damn. Time.

One of the best things about yesterday? The number of people who protested for the very first time. #nokings

This parade is embarrassing.

#NoKingsOKC was fantastic. It was amazing to see so many people there! www.kosu.org/politics/202...

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

I’m attending No Kings OKC on Saturday, Jun 14, 2025. Are you? Use this link to sign up: mobilize.us/s/UYAH7Y

It took until June 11 to see lists of flag officer promotions, especially BG (so the rumor wasn't true), but the lists are definitely shorter this year.

The two-party system is no longer working.

The only way through this is to have the hard conversations with our loved ones and friends. Face to face. Not online. Community is key.

The silence from Congress is deafening.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

I grew up in SoCal. Let's go, LA!

If he sends in the Marines, will his admin or Congress actually do anything about it? Highly doubtful.

Nothing like waking up to a tornado warning at 5 am. 🫩
