I didn't get much guidance from my grandmother that wasn't bat crap crazy or religious misogyny, but bitch knew how to garden, bake, can, and knew to stock up when there was even a whisper of SHTF. Ready.

First attempt at veggie scrap stock.

Damn fucking straight

I leaned into being an internet character on TikTok to make money because of all this research funding stuff. I’m in an article about it today. What a weird few months. www.today.com/food/trends/...

Start using Publicsquare website to identify Maga business in your area and boycott them! Publicsquare is like Goods Unite Us for Maga and business owners sign up and take an anti-woke pledge. Several shops down on our liberal/artsy main street area were even on it. #shopblue #hittheminthedollar

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

The fact that Amazon scheduled their book sale over the top of Indie bookstore weekend this weekend is absolute bullshit. #indiebookstoreday #Amazon #indiebookshop #supportindiestores

Apparently, I'm at the point in my trash writing career when I write "shut," and my laptop just automatically changes it to "shit." It gave up on me a long time ago.

Can someone explain something to me? It's bothered me for years. Why the ever-loving hell do I have the overwhelming urge to shit as soon as I walk into a library? Every. Time. The ambiance is like a giant mug of coffee.

this whole administration is like when they shut off the containment unit in ‘ghostbusters’

I don't know about anyone else, but im enjoying cooking at home more. I feel like I'm actually decent at it, and my kids say I'm the best baker. Now, the idea of going to a chain restaurant makes me gag.

I'm a million years, you'll never convince me that paywalling good news sources while YouTube nuts are free hasn't contributed to the downfall of democracy. People can afford to do bad research. Good research costs. I know good journalists aren't free, but I said what I said.

Anyone else watch The Pitt and worry about Noah Wylie any time he goes into a room alone or the bathroom? Like, do we all have Wylie ER PTSD?

Me imagining my MAGA moronic father who is 80 and has no social media not getting communication about social security. I guess Musk thinks this can stop the Twitter bleed. And yes, I just dead named it. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

China won't take his phone call. 😂😂

I took a sourdough class tonight. Meet Dil-dough Baggins.

Yesterday I posted that my red area of red Missouri kicked the conservative majority off the school board. Not only was it our school district but every single school district in my red county said no to crazy. "GOP, you in danger girl."

Tonight. A little school district in red Missouri in a red county kicked authoritarian book banners out of the school board. Actually...2 did. Congrats FHSD and Wentzville!

School board seats matter. Let's take them all back and support public schools.

Another Aldi paint by number.

Red county. Red state. The people across the intersection had more people. All told, 220 people showed up.

Musk staffers are in the process of seizing control of the Peace Corps’ headquarters.

Puzzle of the week.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

"This ain't Liberation Day. It's Recession Day."

The look on my face when I looked at my kids 529 funds and realized I'd put them in conservative age based funding sometime last year.

I had to go to Walmart today to get something I could not get elsewhere. I went in, paid, and GTFO. No looking around at other stuff. Only what I needed. But this is my confession. Forgive me boycott gods, for I have sinned.

Just floored. I'm at a signing with Main Street Books with 3 of my books. Someone comes up and asks for me to sign all four Jensen City Heros. She didn't know i was local to her and saw me on the promo. Ya'll, to say my heart swelled like the Grinch's at the end of the book is an understatement.

Took my kids and my oldest's bff to Menchies today as part of day of fun. I started to sit at another table to let the girls all have their own. My oldest said, "Mom, come sit." Ya'll...i would have never wanted my mom to sit with me and my friends. Breaking generational trauma...

Day of fun! Last day of spring break for the kids, so we did the art museum, lunch at the Foundry food hall, Puttshack, and now at the cat Cafe. Peefect day.

NEW BOMBSHELL REPORTING FROM DER SPIEGEL Mobile numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to top Trump officials including Mike Waltz, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard have been found online, revealing an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels. 1/

Anyone else get the Kirk Cameron ads on Tik Tok? I think I may have finally gotten rid of them by holding down, clicking not interested, and then marking "too sexual." Just a tip.

According to Aaron Parnas, Dems just flipped a PA state senate seat in a district Trump carried by 15 points. Florida...do your thing.

I follow some publishing houses and saw a call for submissions today. I clicked on it and the call was for billionaire romance. Friends, billionaire romance is down in trends for obvious reasons.This is the kind of stuff you should know before submitting stories to houses who should know better.

Finishing Sunrise on the Reaping. I'm not sure how they plan on making that movie PG13.
