I regret to inform you that the GLP-1 medications have so overhauled my taste buds that now all I want to eat is lentils and beans.

I with there was a pub or bar or evening coffee shop that I could go hang out at and listen to accordion music.

Gonna revert to my libertarian upbringing real quick.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

I am, once again, more impressed with the Roman pontiff than I am any Evangelical I was taught to admire growing up.

It’s my last day of holiday PTO and I’m fighting back by still being in bed at 11:26.

I’m moving away from Amazon as much as possible and am trying out Margins to track my 2026 reading. Here’s my link if friends want to connect. margins.app/u/53ec2bb96f...

NEW YEAR, NEW PLANNER NEW YEAR, NEW PLANNER NEW YEAR, NEW PLANNER

My character Bob the Elf died during our family's attempt to conquer quest #2 of Hero's Quest, so now I'm checking all y'all's updates.

I am, once again, searching for vintage wool capes with fur collars on EBay. As one does.

Sometimes I re-read the marriage-advice-for-women books from my time in evangelicalism and, oh wow, they suck so much. A lovely little diagram in “Fierce Women” blames a “wife with strong desires” for her husband‘s violent assault.

David (@dljohnston.bsky.social) and I have fallen in love with Natalia Lafourcade's music and highly recommend it to all.

I've been in bed for three days and my normally standoff-ish dog is becoming increasingly worried about me. She even laid in my lap for some attention.

is there a covid symptom of looking at past photos of your kids and getting weepy?

I really want to wake up to Trump’s obituary tomorrow.

here's the 60 min segment Bari Weiss killed: www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

I'm considering purchasing Philippa Gregory's Normal Women in bulk and then throwing a copy at anyone who starts yammering about "too much feminism" in the culture.

I’m such a sucker for a nice tin.

Did Sacred Ordinary Days go belly up? The site is still up but the latest year planner is 2024; does anyone have any details?

I do not want to work, I want to look at cool owls.

FUMES PEOPLE FUMES

I finally finished it!!

Happy for a signal boost to talk about the work my church does: -weekly meal served to our unhoused neighbors -partner with other downtown churches for Cridlin Food and Clothing Pantry, which has supplies for infants -free office space to a sexual assault and rape crisis center

Hand stitching is deeply meditative and I love it.

it is wool season wool socks wool shirt wool sweater bury me in wool

Multiple trick-or-treaters to me while handing out candy: ”I love your costume!” Me: “What costume? These are my normal clothes.“

terrible week at work one more fire and I WILL purchase the expensive embroidery class at Hand and Lock.

High of 82F tomorrow. I am VERY offended.

after scrolling through twitter the last 24 hours, it does seem like ACNAners reacting to the GAFCON announcement are very keen on getting themselves a pope that can tell everyone else to agree with them.

A new year planner should come with Nov and Dec of the previous year so I can test everything out beforehand.

Again, the question of whether abusive language and behavior toward a non sentient thing that resembles a human is neutral or bad is not about whether it harms the object, but whether it malforms the human and causes them to treat other humans worse as a result.

Show us the last four albums you listened to.

I don't want 82* and sunny. I want 58* with patchy cloud cover. I want to wear a sweater.

I made Michael Solomonov’s coffee rubbed brisket earlier this week and it’s been the gift that keeps on giving (positive).

Michaels trying to win my affection with WE’VE GOT FABRIC LIKE JOANN while I’m over here thinking about how Joann’s selection was mostly polyester trash.

Wasn’t planning eggplant Parmesan for dinner yet here we are.

I finished a sewing project for the first time in months. I am almost euphoric.

Where can I go to never hear Kevin Hart’s voice ever again?

Up to half my kingdom for a decent fabric store within a three hour drive.

I don't want to work, I want to go fabric shopping

Very annoyed that some companies think a single order is permission to email me multiple times a day into eternity.

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

No, pet cremation company, I DON'T want to fill out a survey about how you did.

love to see two daily medications I need to live on this list. now I get to add, "call doc to get brand name medications" added to my to-do list for the week. great. just great.

I'm excited to share this episode on the Nicene Creed with Rev. Ben Wyatt (@anachronistben.bsky.social), author of Christ and the Council and host of the Road to Nicaea. Exclusive content here is who Ben would cast in a movie about the Cappadocians. ⚓ youtu.be/V0mMaHbzqJM?...
