I just bought some 4os tins from them. I really enjoyed Warlock’s Duster in my post Dresden Files 1923 LARP haze.

It’s looking like I have a torn meniscus so I guess I’ll continue to be useless at home on the couch outside of my working hours.

Everything feels terrible right now and I do not know how I am continuing to function. I hate it.

I was on my way home from a hair appointment and traffic was stopped for these turkeys. (Well, Merlin told me they were turkeys). I love Colorado.

Every statement made by ICE is definitionally a lie. Even parts that are true are part of a bigger lie. If ICE says pizza is delicious there is a moral duty to refuse to believe it within the context of the claim.

Really regretting not replacing my electric blanket when it stopped working last year right about now.

I have managed twelve days of wearing my cpap at least a bit every night. Go me. Also I still fucking hate it.

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

A little treat this morning. #tea #greentea

Gremlin cats are the best.

We could feed and educate our kids, house our neighbors, live longer, fuller, healthier lives, have time and space to create and rest and dream. It should be this way and it can be this way, but we have to beat the fascists by demanding something better than our old, wretched status quo.

My sister and brother-in-law brought me mystery spices from Italy and I thought well, I could make bread with them. Also using the olive oil they brought home. Should be good, particularly for sandwiches. #breadmachine #baking

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.

Today in taking my stress out on vegetables, some kind of fermented cabbage, carrots, onion, garlic, ginger, bell peppers, and jalapeños. After you get out your knives you get to pound the vegetables with the stick. #lactofermentation

And here is the latest batch of fermented pineapple jalapeño hot sauce (idk I think it’s salsa). Definitely a hotter batch.

I really want my mouth to stop tasting like my antibiotic. Ugh!!!

It is AD 2026 and my dad and I are having a friendly argument about Bye Bye Birdie, Elvis Presley, and Conway Twitty. A musical from 1960.

Keflex makes everything taste bad. Ugh. OTOH I guess I can just continue drinking a ton of cranberry juice to survive.

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”

I am down to my last strawberry banana Body Armor please send help.

Someone has been trying to aggressively cuddle me into feeling better and is a little confused that I’m too sick to be into it.

Strep throat as a kid: uncomfortable but you’re back in the game pretty quick Strep throat as an adult: really hard to convince yourself you are not actually dying.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Sick for the third time this school year. Yippe!!!

Today feels like a great day to send weird snail mail to people.

I have been catching up with the story of the Delphi murders - which happened about four months before I left the state, when I was living in the nearby town of Peru. Holy crap.

If you have an Ao3 account I am super stoked about this tiny Clone Wars AU I am currently writing. I’m guessing it’s not getting a lot of traction because the stories are very short, but that could be a feature, not a bug. Look, they’re psychic. It’s got feelings archiveofourown.org/series/5514156

I really wish healthy me would stop doing the grocery shopping when Right Now me wants desserts.

logging on

Dealt with my feelings by bullying vegetables into becoming other things. This week’s ferments are a classic salsa and a pineapple hot sauce.

Yes I’m definitely going to call my representative *checks notes* Lauren Baubert and she will definitely give a fuck about my opinion on this illegal war.

I'm deeply sorry to the people of Venezuela. There is no opposition party in the United States to counter the fascist regime's actions and the population is easily demagogued.

Children’s Hospital Colorado has suspended gender-affirming care for transgender youth amid a new federal investigation

🎶 twin high maintenance machines 🎶

I was doing some shopping at Walmart today and meandered past the Valentine’s section. They only had one of these bears left and I feel privileged to have witnessed it. (And also proud of myself for not buying it on the spot).

A new era begins for The Big Apple!

Oooh yeah, no, not tolerating mansplaining today. Or any other day, really.

just want to remind folks that pushback and public outrage stopped them from closing the CDC library. i bet pushback will stop them here, too

Definitely just left a Facebook group where I got called ableist for telling a man with autism that he still needed to do his fair share of the housework if he wanted to save his marriage. Nobody would ever let a woman off the hook of those expectations for disability.

Fermented Christmas Cranberries in blueberry seltzer. It’s probably a lot to ask for our New Year to be sweet, but maybe we can use some salt to at least not get it to be so very sour. #lactofermentation

I continue to be really happy with my pet insurance from Lemonade. It’s not perfect, particularly the part where it’s reimbursement based so I have to pay and then get 80% back after my deductible, but it’s easy to use on my phone, super fast, and what we don’t use in a year goes to Paws.

Woo coming right in under the twelve hour deadline from his subcutaneous fluids, Mort had a real pee, without any sign of discomfort or bloody tint. If anything happened to this furry brat I would lose all will to live. Fine I will buy the expensive Tiki Cat Mineral Balance.

I do New Year’s quests and I think my quest for 2026 will be to prepare eat one plant based meal a week. So far, I suspect there are a lot of delicious bean purées on vegan corn chips in my future so hit me with your best ideas.
