How the Mike Johnson Shut Down started, vs how it's going now

Happy Mole Day, everyone! 10 to the 23 is a biiiiig number. Here are some incredible drawings from @chemscrapes.bsky.social illustrating the bigness of moles and the smallness of atoms and molecules.

I made my grandma's yeast waffle recipe. It requires planning ahead, but is always worth it.

Yeah, I have been getting in a lot more steps since the shutdown started. Is the situation overall healthier...? (Stress eats cookies).

Movies you’ve watched more than six times, gifs only.

Someone dropped a cute hat near E Linden St.

Taking a hat I made for a test run. It passed! It's getting donated to a fundraiser for ALIVE on March 8. It will be part of a gardening themed basket available for silent auction. I wish the pictures showed how soft and squishy the yarn is!
