The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

Good things are happening in my backyard 🌱! Cherries are ripening up quickly, winter squashes are growing and starting to fruit, and my sugar snap peas are amazing. Peaches and plums are still a couple months out

It took several years of research and patience (and wine), but I think I've finally watched the worst-ever shark movie. Friends, meet Snow Shark. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Sh...

Q for my more seasoned gardening 🌱 pals: are sugar snap peas generally sweeter the day after they're picked and refrigerated? I picked a bunch yesterday, and the ones that I ate within an hour of picking weren't that sweet. The ones that chilled overnight are super sweet. I expected the opposite!

Is there any way to permanently block cash app from opening an account using my PII? Apparently freezing/locking my credit isn't enough to prevent fraudulent accounts. This company is such a scam.

It's taken 6 months and so many missed chances, but I've finally remembered to buy capers at Cost Plus. If nothing else goes right today, at least I have this win.

Lol no. My preference would be to require two tests per year for these "classic" cars.

So there's either a fire near downtown #Oakland or the local Catholic Church decided that they don't agree with the Vatican.

Kudos to the Catholics for taking over today's news cycle and ensuring that the "amazing" agreement with the UK gets little to no attention.

Pruning back a tree and cutting back my neighbor's invasive jasmine was much needed cathartic exercise after today.

Finally saw Sinners today, and wow. It's worth the hype with an incredible plot, soundtrack, acting, etc. But this girl has questions and needs to do some reading. Point me to your favorite analyses, friends?

Definitely put one shake of chili garlic sauce too many in tonight's ramen, but at least my sinuses are clearer than they've been in weeks.

Having the hardest time finding a 60-70 " credenza/sideboard that isn't a traditional heavy wood style. #oakland and east bay area folks ... Any recommendations on places to check out? I've already tried the big chains and Poor Honey.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Damn. Imagine being such an awful person that the head of your religion dies less than a day after you meet him.
