There is a very specific niche this hits. I can even hear it in my head. Lol.

I had a skin thing biopsied and it came back with fancy words that mean Traumatized Mole (dibs on band name). My darling husband because I did not give enough context thought I was rescuing another small animal. So on brand for me. 🤣

It’s unfair that it’s so hot and yet the juncos are in my yard. We’re going straight from summer to snow at this rate. #Minnesota

For funsies and to escape from reality, I have started rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Still great. Plus stabbing the bad guys looks fun. :)

COVER REVEAL AND PREORDER: The Public Scholar - A Practical Handbook. "Perry focuses on the practical details of how to approach public scholarship. How do you pitch a piece to an editor? When should you follow or ignore the rules of the genre? And what happens once your piece is out in the world?"

Look folks. I know I seem to have my act together with regards to kitchen stuff. But I am here to tell you, I failed at hollandaise. I got my infusion for my Crohn’s and I am wiped out and off. So, I offer you this moment of truth. Tonight I did not cook well. The mushrooms were still great.:)

I found three clumps when I was not looking for them at all. Then I grabbed one and ran to the car yelling at @adamstemple.bsky.social Get in The Car! It was fun, if not well thought out. :)

Tonight I made avgolemono soup. I have never really had it. But @lollardfish.bsky.social loves lemons and was teh sick last week. So I bought the things to do it. Of course, with one parent down and an extra child it did not get made. So today!

I have a list. Buffy, ER, Northern Exposure, West Wing(started 99), Sports Night. I have watched parts or all of these in the past couple years.

I feel like this should follow the Tom Holland Lip Sync rule. Always repost. It just makes you feel happier mid-fall.

Started this today with a bunch of cool folks. Super excited to dig in and learn. I am ready to develop a superpower around change making. :)

My kid informed me of this Kimmel issue. And I just had to explain the evolution of his from The Man Show to this. This is ludicrous. How is this my country?!

I feel like I ended up on the wrong list somewhere. Why am I getting text messages from Charlie’s widow? I hold no beliefs that overlapped. Unless he at some point said water was wet. Yuck.

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people? He still has a job. No apology. No retraction. Just let us know, Fox.

It is unacceptable to be a big tent if we don’t actually cover everyone who comes to us. We must do better at supporting our trans friends.

This is so chilling. A student reports the prof who they disagree with, and the school cuts the dean and department head and the prof? All I can think is this is just like Germany. The kid snitches and the adults get swatted. Disgusting. Higher Ed is in real trouble there.

Note from the GBBO season premiere. So happy it’s back. The show stopper was supposed to be a landscape. Some cakes had decorations but not land shaped. I am reminded of the time I ordered a cake shaped like Minnehaha Falls, because our friend wanted a Minnehaha cake. This was what was meant:

Farmers market dinner was delicious! I made stuffed patty pan squash blossoms. We had fresh sweet corn and sautéed chard. So good.

I would invest in cheese people. And cheese making. And eating cheese! Maybe a touring company where I get to talk about cheese around the world. Also fight fascists. What if the good guys had funding?

I got @lollardfish.bsky.social a bouquet. :)

They want to kill people like me. Period. Having Covid ruined my health. By all means, let’s make everyone suffer my fate or worse. Covid has killed millions of people. Who’s going to work for the ruling class when we all die?

In case anyone who follows me lives in Orange County, help @kluweoc.bsky.social get elected please! I am quite certain our values align. He really is our ally.

Such a wonderfully thorough posting of the MN State Fair. Highly recommend. Thanks @stribrooks.bsky.social !

Amy is an absolutely lovely human who we really love in our family. She is also an amazing fiddler who makes wonderful music. Please consider joining her Patreon, even as a one time thing, to help her make it through this hard time. Did I mention how wonderful her music is? Thanks all.

This. Pick what you care about and focus.

How about a "I need a hero" edit?

I made peach cobbler. The country is on fire, but we have desert.

Where can I sign up for this? Is it like goat yoga but walking? I have a walking stick and could go now.

This is what happens when you leave me unattended at the fish counter. I come home with a dinner thing and an appetizer idea. I really like scallops and it’s often them.

Possibly one the best hours every week, Nico has music therapy. Today she taught him to make a C chord on his ukulele.

This is ableist bullshit. One of the only good things to come out of Covid was that people felt *more* empowered to keep their germs at home. That was progress! Why are they demanding kids suffer? Not to mention the poor teachers and staff. Kill ‘em all and let god sort it out? Is that the plan?

Today @lollardfish.bsky.social and I got up and went foraging for mushrooms. It was sticky and buggy and really fun. We found lobster, white spore chicken of the woods, and a ton of oyster mushrooms. Pics to follow.

This is bad. It won’t end with unhoused individuals, that’s just an opening gambit. They will enlarge it to cover anyone with mental disabilities. And if you think it won’t be used to gather up anyone they don’t like based on bogus claims of mental health problems, I have a bridge to sell you.

Pretty sure bacon is a snack food, right? We don’t need all of it for our dinner. 🥓

#DisabilityPride at the MN Capitol! So many orgs to connect with. You should come down!

Also, around here we have enjoyed celebrating Bastille Day for years, 18 or so. This is the first year I wish we were actually doing more than eating French foods. #NoKings

They want people uneducated and ignorant of their rights. That is the whole game. Two classes of citizens. Those who run everything and have enough food, resources, and education to not worry. And the rest of us who will have to work for them to squeak by or die trying. They don’t care which.

Please make sure if you know any people capable of being pregnant to consider their future. Currently you can still get these things on the internet. It is getting less and less likely to remain available.

I have a quiche in the oven and am hungry and why is it not done yet?? Gah! This thing with time and temperature being important to the cooking process is annoying and I want my delicious food now.

It was effective. We watched Murderbot and had ice cream! Lovely end to the day. :)

I’m going to admit, I have no idea what we watched on this thing. Maybe at one point we saw Kermit singing Rainbow Connection? What I do know is how much lint and dirt I picked out from around the wheels while it was on. I am not like other children. #neurodivergent #DisabilityPrideMonth

I volunteer on a non-partisan, non-profit board. Today I called for a vote to decommission our account on the site with the racist, anti-Semitic bot. I was so pleased to realize it was going to work. Progress one account at a time.

Haven’t you always wanted to be a cool kid? You too could join the masses. (The cool kid thing is never going to happen, for me, ymmv, but something to read!)

FWIW the ebook of me & @lollardfish.bsky.social’s “OATHBREAKERS” is ~80% off on Amazon! #medievalsky #booksky a.co/d/guNebkN

This! Our kid is a f@cking delight. Having to fight for his right to be treated equitably is exhausting. The systems are rigged and we all deserve better. #DisabilityPride

Go do it! I would if I was in the right state. :)

Hey CONvergence! Grab your Vikings jerseys, protest signs, and other items and come talk to Chris Kluwe at the signing tables in the Dealers' Room 2-3pm! #cvg2025

In trying times, remember that there are small ways to make a difference.

I made a thing for friends today. A mini-Brie wrapped in prosciutto, cooked over the fire ala s’more’s, sandwiched between wheat crackers with a fig-walnut jam schmeer.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use 2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use 3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them
