as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

People are dying and losing their homes while these dipshits blame women and people of color for it. Nothing but contempt for these despicable opportunists.

So one of my main troubles with baking (there are many) is that when I want to bake the butter hadn’t been softened and by the time it is the inclination has often passed.

I bought a power drill, my first ever. Rawr. It’s from the local Ace which is an ESOP, second chance employer, and part of the employee ownership & cooperative ecosystem. Yay! Where you buy matters—think about Small Business Saturday after the holiday folks!

Random, but my drink matched my shirt today. That was blue pea flower matcha, which I got because they ran out of lemonade.

@alicemiranda.bsky.social @adamcancryn.bsky.social Please stop calling a 17 year-old minor/child/girl/kid an “underage woman”. You’re not the only ones doing it but it’s incorrect and implies consensual behavior. A sexual encounter between an adult and a minor is called rape.

I dunno who I am going to be on the butterfly app. I have had functional personas in most of my social media platforms to date. But I kind want to say screw that and just be me. It feels good. Now to figure out what that means.
