No surprises here. His most ardent supporters feel the kinship of many "wonderful secrets".

I have fallen down the knitted stuffed animal rabbit hole and joined the Nettles and Ivy KAL from French Lavender Home. I finished the head of the mouse tonight! #knitting

I'm resting after spreading a bunch of wood chips where we needed a better pathway. I've got sourdough that's refusing to really rise much, probably because it's a little too cold in here, and dinner to get started. It's not going to be fancy, but hopefully it'll taste good. #HomesteadLife

I'm rather proud of my disabled self today. I managed a shower, a trip to the grocery store for a few things (the prices are insane!), and I made dinner (though my husband helped a bit). Just waiting for it now... I hurt so bad, but it was worth it all just to feel a bit normal for once. #Disabled

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.   It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

On Indigenous Peoples' Day I'm re-sharing the episode of @thisguysucked.com on which I spoke with host @ceaubin.bsky.social about why, even in his own day, people thought Christopher Columbus sucked. 💙📚 🗃 #medieval #earlymodern #histsci #renaissance #maps #geography #cartography #empire 1/2

Long weekend, and I didn't get half my to do list done. Today has been an awful pain day, and I only got the new sourdough starter fed and a loaf baked. I mixed up the sourdough pancake batter, but my husband made dinner. I overdid it in the garden yesterday and still have so much to do there. 🌱

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

I saw a real Monarch butterfly in the flowers by the property line!!

Even if there were, they're all incompatible with good order & discipline. An Army of Hegseth's isn't a hyper-lethal Army, it's an Army of ignoramuses, drunks, discipline cases, & walking zipper malfunctions. Which is exactly the Hegseth make, model, & type. 8/

I haven't felt like coming up with my own design in ages until I saw this Cautiva yarn from Spain in the yarn shop by my daughter's home. Hopefully, these mitts will turn out okay. #knitting Thankfully, I have a copy of Ann Budd's Handy Book of Patterns. It's the best! Worth every penny.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

bruh John Yoo drafted the memos to give the Bush administration legal cover for torturing people John Yoo said the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to "terrorists" and even he is like 'yikes Trump is crossing a line'

Can't sleep from pain, but we've so very badly needed this rain. The flock is up and upset this morning. Well, Squeaker is upset. The rest have calmed down a bit after all getting through the fence and heading out to forage, leaving Squeaker behind. Poor Squeaker. I can't get to her yet.

The court documents for Tyler Robinson's murder charge of Charlie Kirk are released. Full documents are here. I anticipate the far right will seize on the text Tyler made to his roommate saying "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out." s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Sept. 7, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Disinformation kills. And when it doesn’t kill, it makes people sicker.

What rights have trans people lost? The right to be addressed by our own words.

In the lead-up to the American Revolution, throughout the colonies, people understood that the punishments Britain waged against Boston were against ALL of them. Chicago is all of us.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

I managed to fill the dehydrator the rest of the way with more apples because my husband brought home more from the Amish grocery store. Then I washed the dishes, sorted and rinsed eggs, and had to stop due to rain pain. Storm is just skipping south of us, but it sure hurts enough. #ApplesAreLife

That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

I had a bill come out this morning and took my grocery money. is there anyone who can spot me just 7 bucks to get a loaf of bread and some hot dogs for food? please 🙏 ca venmo PayPal stephaniebri22

I have had a modular sweater pattern I've wanted to make for awhile now, and I thought I had enough yarn in the stash for it (Mission Falls 1824 I got on FB Marketplace a year ago or so), but after doing all the math tonight, I don't. So...I was bad and ordered yarn. 🤭 #knitting #DeMinimus

Pain's still bad, but I managed to scrub the toilet and get the laundry started outside. Thank goodness for the portable washing machines! One has a broken spinner, so I'm down to one spinner, but they work quite well, better than the laundromat in town, that's for sure. Now I wait for that to soak

We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

July was a rough month here on the new homestead. Much of the garden is dead, and I've been so frustrated. We finally did the annual jarred food count, and we have more than I'd thought, but I also see where I have to can up more, especially meat and some veggies. I hope I'm able to.

So ... I crashed too hard to make the pork loin and roasted veggies dinner I'd planned. We had leftover cooked pasta in the fridge, so baked pasta (pseudo lasagna) it was. Much easier for me to put together. My husband managed to get it in the oven along with garlic toast, so the team effort worked

I decided to do potatoes with dinner and then remembered we had one last potatoes row, the Kennebecs. I originally was just going to pick enough for dinner, but I found enough soft and rotted ones due to all this heat and rain that I just kept digging. I filled a 5 gallon bucket! 🌱

Welp, we are over a week into Tour de Fleece, and I'm finally spinning. my husband's rearranging of things in the camper last night made it so my e-spinner is easier to get to. Then he helped me fix it. I'm still working through this dark green, sort of neppy, Polwarth from a small farm in SW MI.

Cinnabon hatched her babies, all 16 of them, and now Raven and Chonk have kicked her out and have decided those are their babies. I just... 🤦🏻‍♀️ Ducks are weird.

Husband made a great dinner of one of our jars of round steak and onions plus leftover roasted veggies, and I managed to get a second batch of sauerkraut started and more in the dehydrator. Tomatillos, cabbage, and jalapeños, though I need to do more bell peppers. #blessed

Dehydrator is full with bounty from the garden with more to put in once those trays are done. We have so much and more to harvest. We are blessed. It's a hard holiday this year, what with fascism on the rise here and my stepson deployed. It's just hard. #NotSoHappyFourth

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July! 249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

Heads up!!! 🗣️Here’s another food recall www.masslive.com/news/2025/07...

I knew that fermenting crick wasn't a gallon! I filled it almost to the top, just leaving room for the weights, and the sauerkraut only went down a bit. I just filled a half gallon jar. 😒 In other news, it fills a half gallon jar, so it's easy to transfer to a more permanent vessel. #fermentation

1. The FCC has suspended a rule, schedule to go in effect this year, that would have banned prisons from price gouging on phone calls. Right now, at some jails, a 15-minute phone call can cost over $11. The decision benefits some of Trump's top donors.

“In 38 states, health care is now the biggest employer. Some former manufacturing hubs, like Cleveland and Pittsburgh, have transitioned to health care as a core driver of the local economy. And hospitals are often the largest employers in small towns and rural places”

Leader Jeffries: "I ask the question, if Republicans were so proud of this one big, ugly bill, why did debate begin at 3:28am in the morning?" Republicans "tried to jam this bill through the House of Representatives under cover of darkness."
