We have e-bikes to rent! And the library is right off the bike path—another lovely public service.

Yeah, the Atlantic continues to be too accommodating to MAGA cruelty. I’m not going to celebrate someone losing their job, but she should have been fired for this, obviously.

Enoki is one of the few winter mushrooms we have in Ohio…but too easily confused with deadly galerina for me to eat them. Those might be either!

I have been very sick most of this fall and am way off my normally regular walking routine. high of 35 today, totally “brown town” in Ohio, and I know there isn’t anything but jelly ear as far as fungi in our woods, but I’m going to do it today. Thanks for this push!

Our lil shelter cat Evie is very content. It warms our heart!

If not gov goons, deranged maga will try to pull something.

Canada. I don’t think Japan and France are super friendly to immigrants either?

We absolutely are not that anymore. Time to send lady liberty back to France.

I do think it’s a legit to bring up vax side effects because many of us get them and it is a thing that impacts life. I have to wait until a Friday with a quiet weekend to get them, which makes it tough/delays me from doing it. Many of us do not have room for a down day in our schedules.

I’m about to be done teaching in 1 hour, so absolutely!

This sucks so much. I have a friend who is a nurse and knows all the OBGYNs in our town and got me in with the best FEMALE doc there is that is not usually taking patients. I do not want a hysterectomy, but it would probably help. she’s more than willing to give me one!

JFC. Teachers need to stop telling students government websites are reliable sources.

That’s a handmaidens tale situation. So F’d

Yes, she’s fully immersed in violence is totally normal and the way of the world. Including the violence of expectations of women’s appearance.

Cooper’s hawk in a tangle of branches.

It’s my birthday & a Cooper’s hawk banged into the big window over my meditation alter. Cooper's Hawk represents clarity, courage, leadership, and adaptability, often appearing as guides or omens for important life changes. I no longer have an academic job as of next week (contract ended). TY hawk.

Aghast that republicans lied? Did they just renter the world for the first time?

It’s a heck of a lot of admin for a little bit of money saving. On top of the other health and insurance admin.

For a city so full of art and culture, not to mention Spanish speakers, it’s been pretty disappointing how machismo conservatives have held the power…until now! Maybe I can go there again…but NOT the rest of that garbage state.

They read these posts and say “well, I think we should randomly capitalize words too so looks good to me.”

I also think questioning what the end even is…if you became famous and rich from your work, does that mean you will feel fulfilled and happy?

But there is too much foldy tortilla at the ends. Yucky

Quitting Amazon was my 2025 goal. Achieved! Spotify 2026.

My cat is also a plumber! Here is Mario, off duty. Must run in orange cat families.

NYT reporting on a trend means everyone already knew about it and has moved on to the next thing

Hope the whole administration is on that list. They are extremely anti-American.

I had a job offer where they were not meeting my minimum salary in negotiations. the HR person said “but with benefits and vacation time it’s like $25k more.” As if.

And of course, you can do all the cardio in the world and eat vegetables like a rabbit. There are still car wrecks and other serious injuries. Could happen to anyone anytime.

Guess it’s evolved to normal behavior to be overlooked for rich men nowadays.

This isn’t the easiest action, but hell yes. It’s resistance! Also—fun!!

I mean, maybe. But it’s not something people enjoy having…and pretty much everyone wishes they didn’t have it it if they do.
