Iโ€™m trying to figure out the right way to say this, because: Look, the CPB closing is devastating, and I donโ€™t in any way want to blow even a wisp of smoke that it isnโ€™t. But twice today, Iโ€™ve seen people express how sad they are that all of public television and radio is over. Not true! (1/3)

Cursed tape measure makes so much sense in the context of me and sewing. I've been sewing for more than 30 years and I still have the WTF INCHES problem.

(I always thought of that stuff as showing care and respect for an idea of womanhood and the roles women are supposed to play.

We could just show the same kind of care for everyone. Or tailor to the specific person?)

Confession: I am a northerner and my biscuits are not fluffy pillows from heaven. They're more polyfill duvets from purgatory. But we were out of bread so I tried.

tbh when spineless Democrats ask me for money I'll say that and "I see there are murmurings that the dem establishment thinks we should cut loose public goods so..."

Honestly when the bottom falls out of the Cute Sneakers To Wear With Dresses At Your Library Job market, I'll have to own it and say "sorry I'm donating to abortion funds and indie/public media with my discretionary income."

I doubled up my local pbs donating this year and Mr. K8C did the same with MPR. And I became a contributor to Kotzebue public radio. But maybe we need to talk about cpb directly. Alas I'm not a Carneigie. It's so sad.

When the Emcee asks "aren't these nazis ridiculous?" You could hear an uncomfortable silence filled with an audience thinking "kind of but mostly they're terrifying thanks very much."

Cabaret A provocative musical masterpiece.

Last time I saw this live was in 1998. WOW is it a different experience in 2025. The Guthrie threaded the needle and made it uncomfortable rather than on the nose.

It makes me batty that "the only way to win is not to play" is generally ongoing good advice. And yet. It apparently is impossible advice to take.

Well... downtown Minneapolis was gutted this evening but not in the way Junior Dance Vance claims.

(I more or less quit following MLB when the city got handed a huge bill to subsidize the new stadium and I'm certainly not regretting that choice now. Yikes.)
