Not just an unreliable ally, but apparently a clear and present threat.

I’ve been checking plate numbers. It’s not the same one. There are at least six different ones.

I’ve been seeing them a lot lately. Given how few have sold, even in Vancouver, it’s probably the same one each time but I keep forgetting to check the number plate to be sure.

I never believed Kamala could win, sadly. If a white woman couldn’t do it, a WOC had zero chance. Especially since she was parachuted in without a primary to elect her as the party’s choice. I think the Dems lost voters with that move.

Was that the only one in the bag? Holy cats!

I had to empty the dishwasher because I needed to put dirty dishes in it to clear the counter I needed to use to dirty more dishes. It’s endless.

My mom always used wax paper, magically folded. Piping bags probably existed, but not for the home cook on a budget!

Casting on is a big achievement! What a world is now open to you. Enjoy!

Progress, not perfection, is a lesson that has been hammered into hubs and me these last two years. It’s pretty effing hard to unlearn all the “things come easy” and “quick learner” and “fast = better” ethos of the previous mumblety decades, but we’re getting there.

Right? My 10 year old self would be utterly bewildered to know how much I think about my digestive system.

My fermented food of choice is sauerkraut. Kuhne brand, in the barrel shaped jar. Superb stuff. I’ve tried both booch and kimchi and they were okay, but kraut is my fav.

Pretty sure ours is at least 28 years old now. (I was literally thinking about this the other day!)

Should say part, not party, but a deserte sweater weather party would also be fun!

Looking forward to the Gay Sweater-weather party of Gay Fall!

Yes to FB. I haven’t tried IG yet but I expect trouble.

Looks like Facebook and Threads are both experiencing glitches today. I can’t log in to FB at all, and threads keeps saying sorry something went wrong when I try to read replies to posts. Hmm.

One reason why we stay in the car when on the ferry. (I’m aware of the privilege this reflects. The car is not optional, and I’m kinda glad because masking.)

I got only two wrong, and I’ve been to Wales all of once. But I’m familiar with similar slang (especially related to time) from other places like South Africa and parts of Canada. I genuinely didn’t know what dwt meant, and I thought one question was a trick question.

Quick, Atheist, pop him one while his guard is down and his eyes are teary!

Okay, so I joined bsky.app yesterday, and now my feed is mostly skydiving Christian infants coercing atheists, and it’s exactly the absurdist twist I needed today.

"When @GOPChairwoman refuses to condemn the GOP's leading candidate for using the same Nazi propaganda that mobilized 1930s-40s Germany to evil, it's fair to assume she's collaborating," Cheney wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "History will judge Ronna McDaniel and every republican who is appeasing this dangerous man."

I think it's really important to understand that history won't judge shit. "History's judgment" did not defeat the Nazis, we had to roll tanks into Berlin

This thread alone is reason to be glad I’m on this platform! I finished a book two nights ago and have been at a loss where to go next. Problem solved!

Someone I know calls those "bread donuts" and I never heard a more accurate thing.

Yes! Hi! I foresee a full day of checking people’s follow lists and clicking Follow in my turn.

I’m planning to make one! Also no party to wear it to, so the people who get to see it better feel really honoured.
