I have never been able to get cilantro to grow without it bolting or withering the next day.

If only I believed this mattered to the folks who bought the coins solely to illegally curry favor.

I am truly already so tired of the winter that hasn't even properly started yet. #CountdownToSolstice Boo to the short days, and boo to this meat sack chemically conspiring to prevent me from every being truly warm apart from in the shower.

The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep

Not the biggest James Cameron fan, but kudos to him for tesponsible world building. This should be everybody who's generated any kind of fandom's plan in the unsure media future we find ourselves in. Authors/Creators we love you.

Coming VERY SOON (tuesday)! WE WILL RISE AGAIN, an anthology of speculative fiction, essays, and interviews about activism that @cxorlando.bsky.social called "An incredibly important book" - pre-order now!

Green been casserole has always and will heretofore be replaced by garlic roasted brussel sprouts on any Thanksgiving menu I have a hand in setting. Good riddance to bad rubbish. ಠ_ಠ

There's someone promoting Roald Dahl's adult horror work. It brought up all my rage about his bigotry ruining my childhood favorite stories. Charlie taught me honesty and humility. Matilda was a childhood best friend. I always wanted a witches' purple eyes. Dahl taught me adults are awful.

I'm editing an anthology about unlikable characters and seeking work from younger writers, 15-21. If you know of one such writer who might want to submit their work for consideration, please share this call for submissions: audacity.substack.com/p/acquired-t...

Follow the quoted thread all the way down to the little girl who saw through all the things between her & space & said, "Eh, no biggie." I aim to be like her today. May all that stands between her & all her best dreams crumble. #FreeTrekFromThePaywall for little Black girl astronauts to be.

I want everyone to post their hometown slop (if you don't have a cuisine that qualifies then your town has zero culture). This is the sandwich that I want when l return to the DSM. Usually from Bebops double drive through on the way home from the airport.

#BelieveWomen #ConvictThemAll These women should bear not a drop of shame. All of it lives with the monsters who hurt them, and those who stand in the way of them being brought to justice. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

My ride share driver is blasting and tone deaf singing to Christian Contemporary Caucasian Mega Church music. I am not pleased. Trying not to take it as punishment for the unkind thoughts I just had about the liar in chief. youtu.be/sR1MoY3DCu8?...

I just had to walk a half a block out of my way to exit Union Station, & the rage that has filled my spirit as a result... That child molesting monster who is destroying this city is doing Lord knows what to my favorite architecture in the city. May I live to see him shamed and justice triumphant.

There are some musicians that qualify as a musicians' favorite musician. Jacob Collier is one such musician. Watching recordings of his concerts and the way pulls from the audience to make joyful walls of sound... It's beautiful, but I could never. youtu.be/TURkB9zqxa0?...

Congratulations to NYC, and my friend Mo of the @workingfamilies.org. I woke up to hopeful news coming from many directions this morning. It felt amazing.

Did I just fall down a tiny rabbit hole to finally educate myself on the difference between the definitions of a Blep and a Mlem? Yes. Did I like the answer and am I now considering disregarding all evidence contrary to the way I used the onomatopoeia heretofore? Also, yes.

Ooooo, simply and perfectly stated!

Why is The Diplomat so absofreakinglutely good? And at the same time too short? I told myself I was going to slowly parse out this season, cause Lord knows when/if next season will come. Next thing I know I'm two episodes down on the first day.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Hey, if you have auto pay setup on your health insurance premium, might wanna unclick that option for the time being.

Excellent rule for life in general, really. Cops are literally trained to manipulate information out of you. And for all the chatter I see about their nefarious, underhanded methods for this, the truth is, most don't need to bother, because a lot of you volunteer that shit willingly.

Drop some transformations!

My first tour of the White House, was a holiday decoration tour during the shrub years. The theme, I shit you not, was, "Balls." And there were a bunch of dead trees with thousands of glass ball ornaments. Two southern accented ladies ahead of me in the tour clutched their pearls, and

Jacob Collier. His concerts seem to be mostly attended by the most earnest of choir nerds. youtube.com/shorts/WOts4...

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Once again the @nytgames.bsky.social editors have chosen violence when they created today's Spelling Bee puzzle. Because what do you mean you have today's panagram in the dictionary, and not the rest of these perfectly cromulent words?

no new pictures, where you at mentally?

D. That way I get Mediterranean, South Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. I'd miss soul food, but I'd still be eating very well.
