The Betht Around

I only had 8 good weeks of training for my gravel event on Saturday, but I am really excited to see how it goes now that my chronic illness is, if not cured, at least in a stranglehold for a bit (hopefully the rest of my life).

One thing’s for sure, though: Taper weeks are fuckin’ boring.

I mean, even Walt Disney knew this in 1950

As if Congress relies upon their paychecks for their income.

There isn’t a malebolge in all the Eighth Circle of Hell tiny enough for this prick.

I’m just glad I’m not the only one who does this.

ONE MILLION YEARS DUNGEON!

I can’t be the only person who thinks Stephen Miller sounds and looks like the Earl of Lemongrab

I’m sad I didn’t visit the beach when I visited NYC a few weeks ago. But not being in a car for an entire week made me very happy. I bet this book makes me happy, too! Can’t wait to read it.

The meal that arose out of using up bits and pieces of whatever was around the kitchen in between deliveries, it has since morphed into a monster requiring its own special menu and purchasing.

Back of house hates it.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Should go without saying that the human knowledge behind this is priceless. Knowing what varietal to plant where and when. She said the tomatoes they harvested there wouldn’t grow 100 miles away.

There are more rows of drawers below the level of the countertop. I counted about half a dozen highly local watermelon varieties in addition to squashes, corn, herbs, and root vegetables.

Did a great ride today with the Palmer Land Conservancy exploring the Bessemer irrigation ditch in Pueblo, CO. The ride included a few stops at farm.

This is the old seed store. The owner had to close it down after her brother died, and she’s selling the farm.

As a bonus, BOTH jobs feature a bikeable commute, which is v. important to me. So I’m winning either way!

In the vein of “it’s easier to find a job when you have one”, I just accepted an offer in my previous field and have been completing onboarding today. Then, a position finaaaally opened in my new field, which I just applied for. Second position is much preferred, think happy thoughts for ya girl.

They’ve been bred to be less disgusting.

It goes “good morning/afternoon!”, hand wave, nod, or grimace depending on my exertion level.

So patients have to rest a really long time, because vaginal evisceration is totally a thing that can happen. Sex is pretty much the same as it was, although without a cervix I am missing some cervical contractions and vaginal atrophy is a thing.

Thanks for asking! I love talking about my new body.

It’s pretty cool and interesting, actually. And why the recovery is 2 months of a 10# weight restriction. They basically sew the top of the vagina up, making what they call a vaginal cuff. It’s basically sewn like the toe of a sock. Then reattach ligaments to it so it all stays put.

I have had my uterus (and ovaries, tubes, cervix, appendix) removed for endometriosis. I am now on HRT (E and T). I haven’t noticed this. What does take some time getting used to are new intestine sensations. If the endo is properly excised, as mine was, you don’t get any other symptoms.

hud.gov website popup that states, “The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government. HUD will use available resources to help Americans in need.” This message is in violation of the Hatch Act of 1939.

hud.gov right now

If I lived in Phoenix it would be my duty to kick as many of these stupid things over as I rode by.

Is that enough, though?

Live long enough to piss on the graves of your enemies, my friends

Spoiler alert: it does not

If the article doesn’t say, “get out of your dumb car” I am going to lose it

I thought I was Online enough but I remained blessedly ignorant of this until this evening. I want to wander onto an ice floe now.
