What if we spent it on something neutral like roads? R's love their gas guzzling motorhomes. We are in the stupidest timeline. :(

Ugh, but our taxes are going to this. Just play video games, dudes. Those drones are expensive!

Hammerhead sharks are the coolest. Stupid weird snoot.

I wish I was closer!

I don't use them unless there is no other option. As I generally can't eat out due to allergies ANYHOW, this is almost never.

Dane County Board meeting tonight: #AFSCME out in strength to protect worker health care. @afscme.bsky.social

Waiting for a statement that acknowledges the group you have harmed.

I like this one a lot!

Controversial doc gets measles while treating unvaccinated kids—keeps working Ben Edwards has grown popular in Texas for providing unproven measles treatments.

So unbelievable stupid. A medically educated person just doing everyday things with a potentially fatal, highly contagious disease.

Pigeon View.

A worthy choice.

A book on a lap, with two cats napping, and a dog on the floor.

A quiet afternoon, which I needed. Reading 'The Second Rebel ' by @lindenalewis.bsky.social which I highly recommend! Windy cold afternoon, so book + cats + armchair + tea is what I needed. #booksky

Yep, I'll be out and canvassing every weekend. Been donating since last fall, and I've had a chance to meet the candidates as well (she swung by my booth at Laborfest). Fuck Elon, trying to buy our country.

Fell down a rabbit hole and ended up buying a book from this author. I love that even though I am not Scottish, have no language background of that, you can still feel out in the words and meaning.

This pretty cool.

Time to elect a new leader, this one is compromised.

I envy your ability to ignore the destruction of government. Not a luxury I have.

I Work in the Office Carrying Out the Government Purge. Here’s What I Want You to Know. We’re as freaked out and angry as everyone else.

An important first-person account from someone inside OPM:

Given the huge tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas and the muzzling of our Centers for Disease Control and Preparedness by our administration, I figure this is timely information.

I really feel for people with kids. How do you have those conversations?

Cut loaf of very dark, dense bread.

Cover of cookbook: America's Test Kitchen How Can It Be Gluten Free

Picture of the bread in the recipe.

New bread recipe! Gluten Free bread from the store is expensive AND not tasty. Not QUITE as tall as theirs - I think my yeast might be a little old.

I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't been able to support her. She was paycheck to paycheck before her injury, and we are the only family we have. Half my takehome went to her. That's not an option available for most people.

My sister is on disability in MN. It took TWO years to get it, proving that a broken neck and wheelchair use made her unable to work as a cook. She still doesn't have a ramp for her chair. Cut something else.

I’d really like Minnesotans to read this and then ask the DFL not to balance the budget by removing the supports they improved just two years ago.

Mr. Trump’s executive order indicates that in 30 days, all federal agencies will be required to confirm the immigration status of the parents before issuing documents like a passport.

If you are a visa holder/temp resident in the U.S., and your child was born here and doesn't have a passport, GET A PASSPORT FOR THEM IMMEDIATELY. Like, make the appointment this week.

@westhighlandway.bsky.social I am looking forward to hiking the first third of the trail in May! Would be awesome to see content here. Advice, photos, recommendations for food, etc!

This is -24C to civilized lands. Fucking cold drive to work. (The dummy lights are on because I quick turned the car back on to take the picture)

And hey, they're on bluesky. I like your book a lot, and so does my cat, @lindenalewis.bsky.social
