I know there are 17 other horrible things going on right now, but COVID continues to be a massive problem.

But good news:

It's way easier to protect yourself from COVID than from fascism. (although wearing a KN-95/KF-94 mask in crowds may be some whynotboth.gif)

Appa!! 😍

I didn't have tomatoes and subbed a can of pumpkin puree and it was very tasty that way!

(I am askeered of spicy and I feel like I got the flavor but not as much heat this way.)

HOLY SHIT

So turns out this works just fine?

I couldn't find the baking chocolate, but I did add fish sauce and a bit of black vinegar. It's actually pretty tasty!

Oh, you want these romances, you say? Congrats, they exist!

Guess who started making chili for tonight and found out halfway through prep that we were out of canned tomatoes.

😩

This recipe now includes Ro-Tel, all the tomato paste I had left in the tube in the fridge, and a can of pumpkin.

I'll let you know.

Gonna need people to support middle grade and YA titles bc where do we think adult readers come from!! If kids don’t have good books to read from like 8 - 12 they are going to stop reading 😭😭😭😭

"Valentine's Day Poem to an Evangelical" (2018)

You love an honest man of unswerving faith and moral clarity,
Who follows Christ's ideals of fidelity, compassion, and charity,
Or you love a man who lacks any of that,
As long he beats the Democrat.

hmmm ... actually yes I just might

We are so, so lucky to be part of a consortium that has a dedicated office of cataloging services. They even offer tutorials & how-to videos if you need a record in a hurry.

(Creating records make me anxious for no reason whatsoever but I'm slowly learning ...)

Have just realized that I'm coming at Heated Rivalry fandom exactly opposite to my experience with the Untamed fandom -- I've read the books but haven't seen more than a few clips of the show. So many people posting cool vids! that won't make a lot of sense to me! 😆

what the fuck why am I CRYING

you missed a zero

Gavin Newsom is not good and there is still plenty of time to choose someone who is.

Also I walked into the fiber-crafting group to say hi and heard "so it's about these two gay closeted hockey players" and my head SNAPPED around to see who was talking 👍👍

(she continued with "and the first two episodes there was SO MUCH SEX" [complimentary])

Today's work output was mostly:

* playing email-tag to nail down details for one particular event happening in June (set up via phone call so I had NOTHING in writing) and

* making a geodesic dome out of cardboard.

I bet you can guess which one I enjoyed more. 🤣

Well, that's the sign I'd be looking for if the dude suggested that, so ... 🤣

‘Imprison all women’ may sound outrageous. But all of the horrors that are routine today started out as some ghoulish guy being allowed to say stuff like this without being beaten with hammers.

Early in my Mounjaro journey (Mounjourney?) I was nauseated for like two days after each shot, mostly because it was so hard to know how much to eat. I'm still not great at serving myself the right amount but I did learn how to stop halfway and wait to see if I really wanted more. 🫂

My first thought was Clex. Yes, I am old.

I both want to see it and DON'T want to
