They are great! So cheery and pleasing! So easy to keep! (Except when you accidentally knock a leaf off and it sails across the room.)

Aww, lookit us! So young! So full of trivia! So fricking nerdy! 🥰

(Also, thanks: you made my husband squee. 😁)

We managed to make, and then eat, dinner (roast squash, red onion, and fig salad with maftoul and peanut dressing) early, so our #ConfinedCocktail is a Velvet Rob Roy (2 parts Scotch, 1 part Pedro Ximénez, orange bitters), garnished with a blackberry from my allotment.

I’m quoted in this, on behalf of @araukie.bsky.social - we think police records should be (legally defined) public records to make sure this doesn’t happen.

Slightly experimental dessert #ConfinedCocktail: the affogato martini! Equal parts vanilla vodka, Kala, and Nespresso caramel espresso concentrate (the Curator could no longer resist the siren call of the Co-op clearance bin), over vanilla ice cream.

The rest of the world doesn’t think Trump is making America great, and we’re paying the price.

📌 Fewer travelers are coming to the U.S.

Can’t imagine why.
Masked ICE agents, mass shootings, a president who slaps tariffs on Canada, lying that it’s about fentanyl when it’s really about control.

'Sleazeball' Trump bewildered by public rejection of his unpopular agenda: report Editor Michael Tomasky tells the New Republic that President Donald Trump appears frustrated that he’s not more popular. “He complains, we read, that he’s accomplished a great deal and that he’s keepi...

Trump’s big ugly bill is unpopular.

Rounding up guys at Home Depot looking for work is unpopular.

Putting people in concentration camps is unpopular.

Cutting taxes for the rich is unpopular.

Imposing absurd tariffs is unpopular.

And #ConfinedCocktails are these... equal parts (vanilla infused, in our case) vodka, Cointreau, and pêche de vigne, with a garnish of (involuntarily dried) mint from the back of the fridge. Perhaps an Ahlberg, after the recently deceased author of EACH PEACH PEAR PLUM?

Beat from a day at work, and then a late afternoon spent putting together another Thing From IKEA (relationship and all four shins intact, even!)

Dinner was potato, beet, and feta salad with beans from my allotment (citation: trust me, bro)

If you’re the party of “government works,” it matters that you keep sight of the question “for whom?”

And that is something Dems have consistently tried to find a middle ground on between the big money and the base. And that middle does not exist nor should it be pursued

All I'll say is that changing your system language has hilarious results in YouTube.

Ooh, "It's from #Riverford" is all the endorsement I need. Thank you!

Looks delicious! What's in it, besides kohlrabi, and (I spy with my little eye) some carrot?

Medicaid isn’t some handout.
It’s how your grandma gets dialysis.
How your neighbor’s autistic kid speaks their first word.
It’s the reason a single mom with breast cancer can keep the lights on.

But sure, tell me more about “personal responsibility.”

Have you been peeking at my YouTube since I set my system language to German, dude?

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

No, we are not. Sadly, my fingers are not made of asbestos, either.

Pooped. Young Archaeologists tramping around Avebury and environs. Then a little afternoon tea with local friends including a small pink prosecco, so currently on snacks and orange juice prior to a bowl of soup. More archaeology tomorrow. Hope dad gets discharged this coming week. #ConfinedCocktails
