Btw, Wegman’s lettuce is from Taylor Farms. Since TF won’t tell you who they sell to

Fun fact: if you drink something while your nose is completely full of mucus, your body will do the water bottle "glug glug glug" inside your sinuses (the noise is squeakier though). You can feel the air bubble rise to the top.

I understand where Betty is coming from.

Spread the word.

Stolen wages is the largest category of theft in the US.

When I lived in the Gulf there was an "Ask An Imam" column in the paper. Fave question: if a man lived in an apartment above a woman, and an earthquake collapsed the apartment bldg, and he fell through the floor and into her bed and penetrated her, were they married? (Similar answer: shut up.)

Four? Great way to change the emotional tone of a story. The Sound of Music goes from love story to anti-Nazi movie with the shift happening at the intermission. (and as someone mentions in the comments, it's also a good way to have a mid-movie cliffhanger)

I would argue each of the Star Wars movies has an opening overture by John Williams. (the best one is Revenge of the Sith)

Very good info that folks may need!

As someone who does EAs for work, the best kind of comment here is pointing out things that were not adequately studied or documented in the EA. "This is a terrible idea!" will get brushed off. "Did you consult the SHPO, the THPO, and the ACHP?" is a better comment. Argue facts, not feelings.

WTF? This level of environmental destruction requires an Environmental Impact Study, not just an Environmental Assessment. (EIS takes 2+ years, EAs take six months and a much shorter comment period)

And my Two-Face era cold continues. The only time the right side of my face is congested is when I lie down and mucus from the left side drains into it.

I told a patient yesterday that donuts statistically are better for you than lettuce these days

Anne Rice didn't C&D half the 90s internet for you to smush name. Louis/Lestat or Lestat/Louis. Pick your own fight about topping.

Has anyone else ever had a URI that only affected one side of your face? Because the left side of my face has been full of mucus and post-nasal drip since last night, but only the left side. The right side is normal.

And, not to defend fast food conglomerates, but this is some racist shit. There are thousands of non-chain restaurants that use lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, berries, etc. The current administration is responsible for this outbreak, for slowed tracing, and for lack of monitoring of our food systems.

Is Taco Bell growing their own lettuce? No. They get their lettuce from companies like Taylor Farms (that has 1/3 of the market *including hospitals*). This is deflection on the part of the federal government, which specifically cut funding for food safety screening/testing.

gotta make sure we connect the diarrhea back to the regime’s cdc layoffs that’s not just explosive diarrhea, it’s the trump trots.

Public health & graphic design is my passion

the scream i just scrumpt

Oh shit I forgot to be visible today! Happy international enby day!

So my body does this weird thing where some of my meds seem to work on an 8-12 hour delay. I'm staring to wonder if the Strattera is one of them. If I wind up taking my ADHD meds before bed instead of in the morning, I might just expire of laughter.

World's Greatest Author, @chucktingle.bsky.social , uses stock art to make his own covers. The world's greatest author doesn't need to use AI and neither do you.

Damn... Not wrong, but dayum, that's one of the most cutting condemnations I've seen. And not a "harsh word" in it.

This video clip of a swan landing on a lake is best enjoyed with AUDIO ON. Mute swans (Cygnus olor) are among the heaviest flying birds & require a long runway, which means we get the majestic approach, a few furious moments of webbed feet slapping on water, then the majestic splashdown.

Truth.

While I didn't mind getting wet in the rain, I do mind the remaining damp afterwards. Stupid dew point. The only thing I was wearing that didn't get damp were my socks and that's because I was wearing my Lands' End water-resistant mocs.

Anyone who wanted to attempt spinning, Upcycle in Alexandria has a bunch of bags of fleece/roving for $5 a gallon bag. It’s not the nicest/fanciest but I grabbed the multicolored bags for bird toy stuffing. There was also some stuff that looked like it needed carding.

ahahahaha take that psychiatrist! My current heart rate while doing housework is 88. (could this be lower? Yes. Was she wanting my *resting* heart rate to be in the 80s before she was willing to increase my meds? Also yes. So this is a victory for me!)

This is the proper attitude to have towards "AI" robots.

Sometime in middle school we had to read A Christmas Carol and then write our own version. Mine was a crossover with The Hobbit. (Smaug was haunted by three "ghosts" who were actually adventurers come to steal something from his horde)
