My new doc is great. She doesn’t see any need for medication right now and is really the opposite of the PA in July regarding how well a person can manage diabetes through lifestyle.

I still have some parts memorized. 🏈

So many wonderful books on this catalog, including Will Rees's Hypochondria. ❤️ Shop at your local indies this holiday season!!

Then why doesn’t he do the one thing that could perhaps start to make it right? I don’t think words alone are sufficient, but he has indicated how he has worked to change (mentioned in the article) and also says this.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Last week I bought a ~$20 mug from Japan, the shipping was around that, which I expected. Yesterday I got the customs bill for $23. I knew there would be some extra cost, but I didn’t expect it to be so much. 😔 I will treasure this fucking mug til I die, but I won’t buy many merch products for now.

Since they are available from the US store… maybe…

Very similar to when so many of us were stealing music 25+ years ago. Bands lost label support, were dropped, bands broke up, and people got day jobs (and continued music or not. Many not really).

It’s the lowest number on the chart to be considered pre-diabetic, down quite a bit, so I’m thrilled with my results. There are still improvements I can make, too. We’ll see what the doc wants to do next week.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly. In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Tomorrow I have labs to check my A1C, as well as other general health markers. My PA (who has left the clinic) wanted to put me on a statin and metformin 4 months ago, but I wanted to work on things myself. I have lost about 20 pounds and have changed how I eat. I recognize the signs of

As expected, my photos are 60% cats, 30% BTS, 10% everything else.

Finally transferring all my photos to storage, because I have a new phone to activate. I won’t let them build up on the new phone (right, Cindy???).

Happy 5th Birthday to Life Goes On and BE 💜 #BTS

What a day this was.

If you’re thinking of doing a thing, DO IT! You don’t need an activism license or much of a clue. You’ll figure it out.

He is just investigating to find out what happened here

a little freebie @coyotemedia.org story for today: some tricks to make canned beans sexier www.coyotemedia.org/how-to-make-...

Nathan Whitlock speaks to Maggie Helwig about winning the Toronto Book Award, the clearing of the encampment at her church, and her long, ongoing writing career, which includes a new book out from us next spring! Listen now: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

It's unrealistic to keep up with all of the news happening every single day around the world. Give yourself grace and also a break.

I definitely have the best husband for me. He will stay home with our wild baby cats while I take a nearly 3 week work trip next year AND tease me about the D’tones tickets halfway across the world that I swear I’m not going to buy, but he would be ok with if I did. 💗

Just sitting in the ticket queue for fun…to see how to goes.

two boycotts are better than one

Deftones are killing me with the 2026 tour announcements. If I won the lottery, I would spend 2026 following them until BTS started their tour.

Heartbroken to hear of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social ‘s transition to be a crip anscestor AND feeling so honored to have been alive in the time as this brilliant human, and gotten to learn from her. May her memory continue to always be a blessing.

Can someone like @chrisdunker.bsky.social do an investigation into why newspapers have such varied online subscription options and why it seems they want to drive away long-time subscribers with extreme fee hikes?

This is why I appreciate Jackson Wang so much. I’m a very casual fan, I don’t keep up with all of his activities, but every show he shares his perspective with fans that we need to find our version of happiness. I love him for that. www.instagram.com/reel/DQwLz78...

To be fair, if I were Yoongi, I would bring it up a lot, too. lol

and he KEEPS BRINGING IT UP! army wouldn't be so insane about namgi if yoongi would just stop bringing up how they've known each other the longest and how they've been together so long and how they know each other soooooo well because of all the history they share and man we get it man WE GET IT 🏳️‍🌈👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏳️‍🌈

I hadn’t ever heard of this other way until now. :( I learned to read in Illinois in the early 80’s. I remember a lot of watching/reading The Letter People in Kindergarten, and my mom taught me the alphabet before I started school since her mom didn’t do that for her.

Soon all my favorite authors will be Canadian, because I just keep listening to more books from Coach House.

I’d like to know more about the ACA enhanced tax credits. if people are saying their premiums are suddenly going to be $2000/mo, what plan were they on or how much do they make? I have a lot of questions now.

These are the kinds of things I like to read and this is why I want more organizers to write. open.substack.com/pub/georgego... [I know that people are busy so understand that adding writing to do lists is often an imposition]

Seoul autumn

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

keep them warm 🙏🏼

50 year mortgage is so crazy. to put it in perspective, 2016 was 50 years ago

I’m watching the replay of Jin’s second (and final) encore concert. I said this last week, but I am going to miss this tour! It will always have a huge part of my heart. 💜

“Heavy music teaches us things such as we’re not alone; when life is dark, we do something about it. We’re not just a prisoner to that darkness. But also that our risk fluctuates, that our misery isn’t gonna last forever. There are ways through it.” www.hcn.org/issues/57-11...

I learned of the concept of gender envy yesterday while hanging out with a friend and their trans teen. I waited to Google it today, as not to look stupid. Hehe I guess it’s pretty much what I expected, what the words indicate, but I hadn’t heard of it before!

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview. “They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

In honor of sandwich guy getting out of his legal pickle, here is the original video synced with Freedom - George Michael 1990.

This is evil. Don't use AI. Don't download AI apps. AI kills jobs, the planet, and people -- intentionally.
