Plant πŸ‘ Natives πŸ‘ In Indiana and not sure where to start? @innativeplants.bsky.social can help! They have loads of resources on their website to get you going with beautiful, sustainable native planting. (Pssst! They are also a nonprofit, if you'd like to support their good work. 🌱)

Call me crazy, but I don't think any elected official should be able to cause this much reverberating chaos and change in such a short amount of time. I'd say the same even if I had voted for the person kicking up such a ruckus. I've seen no path forwardβ€”just hack-n-slash and "concepts of a plan."

I know, I know. I just watched The Lord of the Rings like two months ago. But I think I need to watch it again.

A few people have shared this here today, so I thought I’d post it.

It's MMR booster day for me. πŸŽ‰

I'm not saying I'm a fangirl but... I'll try pretty much anything Brit Marling, Mike Flanagan, or Darren Aronofsky does at least once. P.S. The OA was robbed of a proper ending. P.P.S. The Fountain was my gateway drug to composer Clint Mansell. P.P.P.S. Midnight Mass... *chef's kiss*

Is it time to take down the ceramic Christmas tree? πŸ€”

I use this word often, and the etymology of it makes me love it even more.

Scheduled my MMR booster. I saw a lot of folks on Reddit from the "Xennial" generation (overlap of Gen X and Y) saying they were vaccinated as a child, had antibodies tested as an adult, and discovered low/no immunity that required more vaccination to adequately protect them.

I don't care what that groundhog said because the tulips are coming up.

THIS IS A MUST-READ PIECE. Please share, off Bluesky as well as on it. Most people *do not understand* how harmful these short-sighted cuts are going to be - for our economic as well as our physical health. πŸ§ͺπŸ›ŸπŸ©Ί

If anyone is thinking of switching their pet Rx to Chewy, I have a 30% off your first pharmacy order coupon code that I won't use. There are some exclusions, and it expires March 31.

Another thing I did not have on my 2025 bingo card: Pence being one of the only voices of reason.

Hard times and hard decisions are coming, folks. What a world.

Sometimes, having a birthday in the middle of stupid February shortly after Valentine's Day has its perks. Bargain diabetes!
