I have now watched the mayor getting yelled at at the 19 six times and can move on to this evening’s episode of Miss Marple.

Look what came in today’s post! Ramadan Mubarak to all.

Today’s Little Free Library find: Today’s Woman: Recipes from 1983 by Lenore Cragle. I offer up this gem.

Hmmm.

That last paragraph.

Today’s read. 💙📚

🤣

Inspired by @heavytable.com @longfellowwhatever.bsky.social the spouse made us breakfast burritos just now. Scrambled egg, cheddar, tomato, roasted poblano, pickled onion with avocado & sour cream. A solid 5, with extra points for not having to leave home.

I don't know how many of those small town nursing homes would go under but I feel like its more then half. It feels like most of them already very very close to broke, and if medicare/medicaid get reduced even a little that will destroy them.

Breathes sigh of relief because my go-to pizza place didn’t make a “best” list. And also peeved because they deserved to.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Trying to plan a trip for early summer. Spouse wishes me luck, since “no place we want to go will allow US citizens to visit by then.”

The spouse has dubbed this skillet cake “The LaBrea Rhubarb Pits.” Just needs tiny plastic mastodons.

Some possible actions for those of us waiting for someone else to “do something,” or feeling too overwhelmed to take a first step. Longish but worth the read! open.substack.com/pub/thewhite...

Second breakfast is cinnamon rugelach warmed in the oven and topped with some Greek yogurt.

Just a reminder to shop and eat at great local businesses like these.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

I apparently need to call my senators every day and read them the oath they took at their swearing-in: “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic” etc. That’s where we are.

Musk killed these people.

I…huh. apnews.com/article/trum... 'Back to plastic': Trump signs order for plastic straws as he declares paper ones 'don’t work'

I guess it’s a proper name.

This is the kind of helpful information I came to this platform for. Thank you!

Deleting my earlier post about being mad at the U of MN about their D. E. I. backpedaling. I’m much more irate about their intentions to comply with ICE. Lesson learned: don’t send emails before your morning tea. mndaily.com/292222/top-s...

This is what I should have been incensed about. Guess I need to write a second email. And to pause. Before. Sending.
