This thing where businesses are increasing their prices because they have to but then also deciding that the customer should pay for using a card when a card is the only thing that's accepted is getting to be too much. You don't take cash and you're putting a basic cost of business on me. Bye.

It would seem that the garden has yielded pretty well this week and I need to find something to do with all these tomatoes! ☺️

If I were @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social (and had the means) I'd tell Disney to shove the 'bring back' and go elsewhere or go solo. It's a double-edged sword and I'm sick of hearing about 'ratings' over the actual issue here. Not another penny to Disney no matter what here.

The only way to eff with the Mouse is to eff with the $$.

I unsubscribed from Disney years ago when I found how dark some of their roots are. They don't deserve a cent of my lowered wages needed to survive. They'll raise prices for those staying, ensuring ELT pockets remain padded. Also, prod quality isn't NEAR worth it for the drivel they churn out now.

Blasphemous pig, that cannot even pronounce acetaminophen, tells pregnant women if they "can't tough it out" they can have Tylenol. NO SCIENCE in what is being spewed. Says a creature that got a COVID shot on the DL.

Watching government as reality tv makes me feel ill. Misinformation entirely.

Hearing someone speak that in their mind if someone says too much they don't like to hear is/should be illegal is completely insane.
Go back to the playground and fight over toys, sand, and slides there. That mindset and internet troll quality has NO place in government at any level, nor any party.

Still one of my favorite lightning shots from when I lived in Minneapolis. As the season for sights like this winds down I do like to look back at photos like this. Nearly five hours to get that shot. Worth every minute.

My heart goes out to you. Nearly 10 years to get AFIB and SVT diagnosed. Wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤️

I don't care which side you're on as far as party. When it comes to inability to speak with meaning during critical hearings and testimony, and you can't, keep your thoughts together and must reference documents or note cards for every word, you're not prepared and/or not knowledgeable. Just stop.

@cnn.com I appreciate that you show both sides of coins. As a resident of Chicago, I find the Chipocalypse Now meme disgusting and inaccurate. Also, targeting a city that does NOT need military on the ground, nor do we need an advertised 'war' coming to us. Reality TV became US government.

Brown butter basted monkfish, pea puree, béarnaise (yus, it's a bit thin), asparagus, and garden cherry tomatoes and beet microgreens. Yums.

Found a really great fishmonger in the city. Salmon two different ways, fjord trout and halibut over homemade pasta noodles with a simple sauce and some capers.

I shouldn't have had to spend part of a celebration of life service explaining to people that just watch specific news that Chicago is in fact not a 'killing field' this past weekend. Every city has crime and ours is NOT as described. We don't need wasted resources so a president can peacock.

Thanks to misinformation coming from the white house, like referring to Chicago as a killing field, I got to spend part of a celebration of life ceremony explaining to family that we are perfectly safe where we live in this city. Just STOP creating fear where we need not have that.

@cityofchicago.bsky.social someone talk to the pilots doing test flyovers today, please intervene. People in neighborhoods with busted out windows and while I was outside, one was flying so low and fast that I could feel vibrations through my whole body. Never had this with the Blue Angels.

Sounds like AI ingested way too much rich people who can vacation and do what they want when they want perspectives into an article about people who work very hard and just want to enjoy it however they can and will. None of anybody's business how they do it.

@embeelife.bsky.social Check the shape on the swordfish! ❤️☺️

We shared some surf n turf recently. We got a mistake order of meats and I'll be damned if any of that went to waste.

Mushroom risotto, potatoes, and asparagus sides. I'm now expected to make béarnaise sauce more frequently... What have I done?

Screenshot of a chat exchange. The first person sends a picture where a bird had just pooped on their hand and sent the image with the text. Some bird just shit berry juice on me. The next part of the chat has a photo reaction of someone from the movie Goodfellas laughing as a response to the first message. A final message at the bottom of the screenshot is in caps lock saying I've been shat on!

Four foot long by two foot wide raised garden bed with two mid size tomato plants, three small bushy Scotch bonnet pepper plants, and a very small random hot pepper plant inside.

One large 10 gallon round tub with a shrubby basil plant, tall poblano plant, and medium yellow cherry tomato plant. Five gallon pot worth a Durango pepper plant bearing fruit yet to fully ripen. A small cayenne pepper plant in a three gallon pot. I'm a double square container there are two types of tomato plants with green fruit. All of the plants baking in the sun on a warm summer day.

Five additional tomato plants of carrying sizes and types across the large containers on a balcony in the sun. The two black cherry tomato plant is starting to fruit, while the three small red robin tomato plants and tall better boy tomato plant are all flowering.

Small rectangular wooden serving plate with a caprese salad with a rosemary olive oil and balsamic drizzle.

Love having a balcony garden! My little summer sanctuary. The snack benefits are a perk as well.

The left side of a small crocheted wolf on a wooden table with a green sideboard in the background. The wolf is gray with a white stomach and black safety eyes and is sitting on its haunches with its nose pointed in the air and ears back as if howling.

The right side of a small crocheted wolf on a wooden table with a green sideboard in the background. The wolf is gray with a white stomach and black safety eyes and is sitting on its haunches with its nose pointed in the air and ears back as if howling.

I crocheted a very smol wolf. First thing I've done since getting super burned out a few months ago and I love him.

Stop being so smart!

I will let that be an entirely fun surprise for him! ❤️

Celebrated Chris's birthday at Oriole this weekend. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing, elegant, and delicious dinner.

The food, staff, parings, and experience is beyond compare.

Clearly she hasn't tried them out yet.

Seems about right 🤣

I'm looking forward to getting this framed.
