I am convinced all the thrifting accounts that buy something colorful or quirky only to paint it beige, grey, or white are just rage farming. There's 1 account that paints items beige and white checkerboard, that 1 is legit nuts because she's done it to a bunch of stuff.

Went on a little walk with the clouds and a cold wind, it was glorious. Fuck climate change and the heat :(

My teen goes to a hybrid alternative school where I teach some subjects at home, the rest are on campus. This year I'm teaching marine biology and I am truly appreciating living near the Puget Sound because there are SO MANY free/cheap resources and field trip opportunities.

Earl grey tea in a black cat mug, and double chocolate peppermint cookies that are not the prettiest things, but they were supposed to be biscuit type cookies and I went off script. #cookieparty

I was feeling nostalgic about Wunderground's cams & bothered to search if any website ever successfully replaced it. Looks like windy.com has accumulated quite a few cams since then. Although my fav WA cams are still gone, my storm timelapse winter hobby is back! #wawx #wx

Going for a walk without my allergy meds was a mistaaaaake

Fucking gross. Everett mentioned a bunch. Because what I really badly want from my politicians is for them to turn off their brains and connection to humanity.

#cooksky 🍜🍽️ Scones made with the walnut cake bread pudding. From a recipe in the National Trust Book of Scones.

Evergreen reminder that my book “The New Handbook for a Post Roe America” is available in print copies wherever you buy books, explains in depth the many ways to manage an abortion in or out of clinic, and will not be blocked by internet age verification if this keeps spreading…

Holy collagen! I have been making broth for 15 years and have never gotten it to gel like this.

A local market I've been going to for almost 15 years is selling single bell peppers for $6 and jars of mayo for almost $20. The vegan mayo was $14 so it's not the eggs. They carry some specialty brand stuff, but the prices have always been at or slightly above chain grocers.

The only time they tolerate each other is when the food is coming. #caturday

We stand firmly against this legally and scientifically flawed move, so we’re testifying today in defense of climate science and protecting the public from harmful pollution. Follow along here: www.epa.gov/regulations-...

Am I the only one noticing a considerable uptick in practically incoherent text in comments/posts across multiple platforms? Not just typos, not a simple misspelled word, but entire paragraphs peppered with garbled crap? Are way more people drunk posting or what?

Life has been kicking my ass this summer #cookieparty

Got eggplant and fresh garlic in the CSA box so the teen and I made a huge batch of baba ganoush, then tried making flat bread for the first time! I love our Friday ritual of making something yummy together and trying new things 🥹 #baking #breadsky 🍜🍽️

Sep 7th we will be hosting a 2nd sing-in fundraiser. Led by a 7 piece musical ensemble, together we'll sing some old protest songs by Bob Dylan, Woodie Gutherie, Simon and Garfunkel, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and more. Registration is required -> docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Spent the last 2 hours making myself sad by looking at the cheapest houses in my area to confirm that everything is still way out of my price range. P.s. house flippers can diaf right along with landlords P.p.s. wtf is the obsession with grey???

I love my CSA farm. This week I got something labeled "Aztec spinach" which appears to be a specific variety of lamb's quarters. The fun part about this is that the powder on the purple baby leaves is SPARKLY!! Camera doesn't pick it up super well, but you can kind of see it. 🌱

Hi, friends - our Doulas are hoping to win a $10,000 grant for Black-led nonprofits from Givebutter, and to qualify they need to raise at least $100 though their account in the next two weeks. Any chance you could help them out? All $$ goes to free doula care for Black moms in western Alabama....

Bunch of fuckin 1st graders playing tag in gym class 🙄

Today the teen made yeast pizza dough! I've done various forms of homemade pizza over the years, but this was def the best. Toppings mostly from the CSA box and farmer's market. #baking #breadsky

The teen's very first loaf of yeast bread 🎉 I've never gotten into baking with yeast because it's fussy in a way I don't enjoy, but hey, we'll give it a try. #baking

It’s a golden age for Cassandras.

Zuckerberg farted out some nonsense today, and since most media outlets refuse to report critically any time a tech CEO offers them some a pseudoserious press release, I've decided to do it for them. sonjadrimmer.com/blog-1/2025/7/30/how-to-read-an-ai-press-release

are you tired of being brainwashed by the mainstream media?

It's been a shit week but my fuchsia is finally blooming. And of course I don't remember the variety. #flowerreport 🌱

I have a bumblebee nest outside the front door. It's probably this one, but since there are 2 look alikes, who knows? I can never spot one sitting still long enough to get a good look or picture. I'm just happy they can call my yard home.

July 26th we are filling up Snohomish County Campus Plaza for Families First to collectively demand an end to policies that harm children, seniors, and our families. Sign making, social time, and music to start us off at 12pm, speakers 1pm, sign waving 2-3:30pm.

The amount of NSFW accounts posting photos of cookies is surprising.

With Congress cutting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, I donated to my favourite US public media station (C89.5 in Seattle). I recommend others do the same to support public media in their communities!

The watch party portion of today's Good Trouble event is full, but fear not, there is plenty of room on Broadway in Everett for the 8:30pm vigil. In partnership with @wholewashington.org, we will be bringing light to those harmed by massive cuts to the federal budget.

Trump’s policies and ICE crackdowns are tearing Washington’s families apart. Our immigrant communities are living in constant anxiety, skipping work and school, and even therapy to survive. We must stand up to this cruelty.

Is this that alpenglow stuff I hear about?

Seapinks (Armeria maritima) and Sunburst lichens (Xanthoria parietina) provide some of the standout coastal colours during the summer months. County Donegal, Ireland.

Stores are starting to put out Halloween shit. One month until Christmas? Just cram it all in with Back to School. I suppose it makes some people happy, but I'm tired of the breakneck speed of everything. The extra months don't help me savor, it makes me panic.

Off to harvest #cookieparty posts because life is awful and people posting pictures of their delicious cookies gives me +1 happy.

Slightly blurry Fizzy was having emotions about getting her pic taken at breakfast Late #caturday post #teefs #blackcats #catsofbluesky

It's what outside that counts - look at this cruussssssst! Biscuit dough with gouda mixed in topping a pot pie (casserole?). My kitchen lighting is ass but it still looks amazing. 🍜🍽️

1yr ago today, I landed in Ireland. It was a trip I truly did not believe I would ever make. There are many things I miss, but I have never romanticized life somewhere else. It was the first and probably last time I'll get to leave the continent, even if air travel wasn't an environmetal bomb.

Tried to get pics of my very popular Western Canada Goldenrod, but the accidental 2sec video I took was the only thing not blurry. I counted 7 different types of #pollinators #pnw 🌱

We are devastated by the passing of the Big Ugly Bill. Snohomish County Indivisible has been around since the beginning of Trump's bullshit in 2017, and we are determined to stay in this fight.

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

My #baking break from The Horrors. Sour cream coffee cake with a layer of leftover currant sauce and lemon juice from the cookies I made over the weekend.

Lemon cookies with #glutenfree #dairyfree swaps, and icing made from currants I grew #cookieparty #baking handletheheat.com/glazed-lemon...

Next Sunday 7/6 join us for a presentation on the development of Snohomish County's Climate Resiliency Plan by Molly Beeman, the manager of the Office of Energy & Sustainability. Space is limited, so be sure to register 👇 2:30-3 is social time with snacks!
