Entered this year on zero prescription medications. Exiting this year on five prescription medications. At least my health collapsed after we'd already met the insurance deductible for the year!

If you can get a flu shot, get a flu shot.

Amazon once sent a picture of a package in some bushes. We had a fun hunt around the property to identify WHICH bushes were pictured.

"I know, I know—all you did was share your chili recipe, but did you consider the people who don’t like chili? The people who are vegetarians? The people without tastebuds? The people who don’t know how to turn on stoves? What about all those folks?" www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/did...

I'm making this for dinner tonight with LightLife plant-based sausage. It's still in the oven but smells great! bellyfull.net/sheet-pan-pi...

I want it to snow but I also want it to not snow on very specific dates when I have things scheduled.

Hi, are you doomscrolling? You still deserve time to rest and recover.

I think it’s kind of funny that both “wi-fi” and “podcast” are only puns to people old enough to remember hi-fi systems and iPods; they’re like linguistic deleted quote tweets

Send help, how do I delete it so my family doesn't see I watched Heated Rivalry on the shared account.

You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check

I see #promosky is going around again, so: ❤️ Elder millennial 💛 Live in the PNW 💙 I'm a wife and a parent 💚 Jewish 💜 Interests, not in any particular order: eating pasta, EDM, daf yomi, reading non-fiction books, houseplants, learning Italian language, local history... it's an evolving list.

I made a mountain of meringues yesterday and I think my house will now permanently smell like a sugar factory.

Parenting advice from 1909: "Let them figure out for themselves how a fat man with a big pack can get into the parlor grate through the chimney of a modern house heated by steam." from The San Juan Islander, December 24, 1909. #history #Christmas #parenting

Damn why does everything keep happening?

I miss getting Frangos at the Frederick & Nelson on Pine (sighing in ancient Seattle)

Zot Hanukkah!

I was out very late last night (well, this morning) and now I am exhausted but it was worth it. 💙

Seattle-King County Public Health just released a guide on what to do if you find a rat in your toilet this is not a joke

Hey so if you're clicking around in the newly released Epstein files today, be aware that some of the photos are seriously WTF. Lots of weird rooms, bizarre art, questionable items... Be careful out there, folks.

Seahawks new uniforms look like rainbow stag beetles and I love it.

Power and internet are back this morning! Yay! 💡 🎉

We don't have power but we do have Hanukkah candles!

No power at my house today. It's cold!

Being a storm chaser would be the worst job not because I'd be scared but because I can't see to drive when it's dark and rainy.

it's the perfect time of year to bake something that you'll only try once

I don't remember who on here recommended fresh cranberry sauce for latkes but I tried it tonight and it was great!

My mom still has a Salad Shooter and still uses it all the time.

Here is a screengrab from Washington Weather Chasers' live stream on YouTube. He's at the levee break in Tukwila right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrxu...

It remains true that if somebody notable has a very terrible take on some other social network that is not this one... there is no requirement to screenshot it and react here. Sometimes, we can let them stink up their own room.

I'm enormously proud of this episode and I'd love you to listen to it. No knowledge of the show required

This entire weekend

Happy Hanukkah. 💙

Under my benevolent rule, all online gambling and its adverts will be driven into the sea and tormented by mildly irate giant squid..

11 people in Australia were killed today by gunmen while they celebrated the first night of Chanukah at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Targeted because they were Jews. As Jewish families around the world, we place our menorahs in our windows. Our message to the world: Light will outlive the darkness.

Went down to the beach today to see if anything interesting had washed up after the rivers crested and flooded out.

SEW issues HEAVY RAINFALL THIS WEEK HAS LED TO AN INCREASED THREAT OF LANDSLIDES IN WESTERN WASHINGTON for 34 forecast zones in [WA] till 11:00 AM PST at Sat, 13 Dec 2025 16:13:10 +0000 via IEMbot Additional Details Here.

they're called screech owls because it's impossible to look at one without screeching about how cute they are

In Mount Vernon, the water has overflowed the river banks (left side), filled up the river walk path (center), and is seeping through the flood wall into the city (right). It won't crest until tomorrow morning. #wawx

The Skagit River is now approaching 36ft, well into Major Flood stage and @noaa.gov forecasts over 38ft overnight before lowering #WAwx

If you're interested in what the flooding situation looks like in Skagit County, Washington right now, here is a livestream from someone walking around Sedro Woolley and then planning to drive into Mount Vernon. #wawx www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WUF...

This is brilliant.

No new evacuations were ordered overnight, which is good. It'll be interesting to see how things look when daylight breaks.
