Seriously! Have they never made use of the tilde?

The time it takes to absorb, reply, and review this bullshit is a waste of government resources.

Unfortunately yesterday's snow was followed by sleet, so everything here is a compacted crunchy layer with sheets of slick ice on any hard surfaces. So not much fun in terms of navigating. Today is pure snow, though, and at least the birds are enjoying it. I am ready for spring warmth.

I have been using Tom's of Maine Wild Lavendar, and it is the only vegan deodorant that works and doesn't break me out. But I am allergic & sensitive to coconut derivatives, which are in a lot of other vegan deodorants, unfortunately.

Tens of thousands of federal workers were just summarily fired--including scientists & disaster/emergency response-related folks across a wide range of entities and agencies all around the country. Thousands more were just notified they will most likely be fired next week.

Yes, somehow that platform has managed to stay up and running, I do appreciate it so. πŸ’œ I do miss the old LJ days too but that place has changed so much I barely recognize it. And glad to hear that!

Understood! I prefer DW for long form communication, but I like BlueSky for keeping up with things on the daily. I've seen a few people use a mix of BlueSky and linking to other writing platforms (Medium, DW, etc.) to communicate more richly, too. And things are okay; hope you are doing well, too!

I'm glad to see you here, too! I am trying to minimize my social accounts and it's always hard to figure out where to be because everyone is looking for something comfortable for them, and that's unique to the individual. Hoping you can get comfy here or in other spaces and find what you need! πŸ’œ

πŸ’œ They both have powerful imagery and evoke the intensity of feelings involved very well!

Do I laugh, do I cringe, do I cry, do I just entertain myself for the rest of the week on what a farce everything is?

I could take you up on that. But no rush, I have very little energy at the moment. It's just been a terrible workday as more stuff rolls down that can't be avoided.

*cackles* Well now I feel like I have to make them at least once more to see how that phrasing goes over.

That looks delicious! I haven't made spring rolls since the last time my family referred to them as "amniotic sacs" 😭. I love them in restaurants, though.
