Best birthday

I … I don’t think the guy building a giant surveillance state mechanism gets to state what “truly progressive” is? Right? www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Highly amused today. I never order a breakfast sandwich but I did today. About 10mins before it was to arrive a message saying there was a problem with my order & a refund would be issued in 5 days. Ok.

Costco is one of the largest companies to sue for possible refunds if the Supreme Court strikes down the new import duties. n.pr/3KD0Piy

There’s a poem with the first line “I will die in Chicago while looking for a job in winter” and sadly I can neither recall nor locate the title or name of the poet. Does this ring any bells, poet friends?

Curled up and cozy

I don’t know how I missed this wild story about good ol’ demented floorshitting hamster Chuck C. Johnson this summer www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Drinking a tea from my advent calendar and eating the 4 cookies that wouldn't fit in the tin last night (perfect gingerbread. Like the gingerbread of my dreams. New recipe so I need to remember how good they are)

A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it. n.pr/4awb0jo

2 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- TX bathroom ban in public institutions goes into effect. SB-8 penalizes only the institution, and then only if a written complaint is submitted, and then only if institution doesn't change its signage or policy. This is what took more than a decade to pass???

The estate sale of the late lawyer and bibliophile Bill Roberts, whose Rittenhouse townhouse is filled with thousands upon thousands of books and other treasures, opens to the public this week.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

*runs to Google* How do I double boycott a company?

The FDA never released a comprehensive list of the drugs it allowed into the U.S. even though they were made by banned factories. So we made that list for you 👇

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Dear @pnh.nielsenhayden.com and @malf.bsky.social, I am writing feverishly on the novel but am encountering some technical difficulties, I hope to have them resolved soon

A mentor-to-be of mine (Philip Yenawine) created A Day Without Art as part of the Visual AIDS collective in 1989. A day to honor the loss of brilliance as a result of the epidemic. 1/x This year, Trump cancelled recognition of World AIDS Day, today, & cuts to funding worldwide have consequences.

Happy Sunday! Reminder that you are worth so much more than your productivity and output. May you rest well today.

Sone things I got done today. Both vegan. I used egg replacer for the peanut butter blossoms and the truffles are dark chocolate.

📚Hey lovely people, since we're coming into the silly season, I thought it might be an idea to share my go-to cosy/comedy fantasy authors for a good, sanity-inducing laugh. If you're looking for an awesome read, you can't go wrong with the following:

Forget cheese and pineapple hedgehog, every party needs an edible Krampus. Especially knowing how much children love prunes. (From a 1970s edition of Child Education magazine)

Krissy called me down to the kitchen to have me eat a last bit of Thanksgiving leftovers so she could put its container into the dishwasher, and I just got a stern look from the dog warning me not to overstep into her territory ever again

It’s never occurred to me to wonder what Edward Gorey animating the Ministry of Silly Walks would look like & now I don’t have to

The storm will spread through the Midwest and Great Lakes regions over the weekend with "widespread heavy snowfall and hazardous travel conditions," the National Weather Service said. n.pr/440gsqZ
