I really want to stay up & keep reading. As usual, the web of Wikipedia links has maxed out my main Safari session at 500 tabs. I had gotten it down to 362 earlier this week, damn it! The horrors of the Khmer Rouge can wait until morning. Alas, time for some sleep. Reluctantly. Hmf. 😉 Good night!

I remember when he had the tussle with the City of Redmond over the sandwich boards. I only went a few times, but I liked the bagels I got from the Redmond location, which was not far from where I lived. I feel for the employees though. Sucks hard. www.nwprogressive.org/weblog/2026/...

Damn it I hate it when the damn app automatically refreshes if I navigate away for 30 seconds. Grrrrr!

Wow! I never thought this would actually happen. This is excellent!

The short peak season has begun in the strawberries on CA's Central Coast. In this 9 hour day, "Irma" managed to pick 90 flats or 1,020 of the plastic 1 pint boxes we buy at a supermarket. (A flat holds 12 plastic one pint baskets). She earns $2.20 a flat. #WeFeedYou

a lot of talk about how tariffs are affecting lives, but very little talk about the average Americans access to rice noodles

I absolutely love watching lil birbs take a bath. It looks like they are having a seizure, with how quickly they move the wings and shakeashakea, but no. Just getting clean.

People always talk about live action Miyazaki movies and they already made it: The Iranian film The Color of Paradise It’s a sweet, beautiful, tender film about a blind child who has a curious wonder for life. Truly a masterpiece.

one last boost before bed!

I am really not looking forward to #wildfire season this year. I know in my area we had a record low snowpack this year. There’s going to be some serious water issues this summer. Not so much in the city, but everywhere outside it. Hoping for a cool, wet spring this year.

The Morrill Fire in Nebraska has killed 1 and consumed 549,000 acres with 0% containment. This is more than 10% of the entire area burned by U.S. wildfires in 2025, and makes it one of the 20 largest fires in U.S. history. Sunday forecast is grim: High Wind Warning, 25-35 mph winds, gusting to 50.

Facts. Unfortunately.

If you are a tea person, it sounds like these poor folks are going THROUGH it this month, and they have some really interesting looking blends!

Basically every WBC game that hasn’t involved Team USA has been baseball at its very best. I wish this thing lasted for an entire month.

I had no idea

I honestly did not know that Angkor was an entire huge civilization, the largest in the world at one point. I only knew of Angkor Wat, which is of course the magnificent temple. But there were thousands of temples in the “metro” area, hundreds of thousands of people…I feel so ignorant right now.

Grrr! Arrrgh. ☹️ #buffy #btvs

I wonder if one of those foot peel things would be good for the hella dry bits on my heels. Hmm.

I woke up after a whopping four hours of sleep. Back to bed I go, to dream of cardamom spiced Scandinavian cakes and cookies. Mmm cardamom.

Such a smart and easy solution to the “headache inducing stinky odor control trash bags”! Like, duh. We use a box in the fridge all the time for odor control. This makes so much sense to me!

YESSSSS. I became disabled and largely homebound pre-covid, but the rise of online activities during it was a godsend. It killed me to see those snatched away once the world decided to move on.

I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods

I keep circling around natto like a moth to a flame. I have a feeling I would *severely* regret trying it, but I kind of want to just to satisfy my curiosity. And on that note, I had better get to bed. Good night!
