If you've ever watched how your cat reacts to a Christmas tree, you know: pedigree or not, every single one is a Norwegian Forest Cat at heart!

I know this may sound trivial. But, honestly, folks, it is not.

The quote skeet below makes the point well.

In other news, i understand astronomers have just observed a teeny tiny teapot orbiting our sun, and are asking a Mr Bertrand Russell to report to Lost Property to reclaim it.

This is silly.

At the same time, it is a fact that we now live in a world wherein the the US CDC, no doubt directed by RFK junior, is happy to state on its official page that there is no evidence that vaccines do NOT cause autism.

Think i am going to start a rumour that nettles turn you trans!

To put it another way... humans have been eating nettles and drinking nettle extract for thousands of years.

But because insufficient research, children should avoid them because...

Well, because...

Also, children under 12 should not be given them (soup, tea, etc.) because there was insufficient evidence for the effect of nettles on that age cohort!

Last night, i made myself nettle soup, using nettles i picked and froze earlier in the year.

Because of current health issues, I later looked them up on various food charts. Apparently nettles are bad for folks who are pregnant.

Now followed you here. @hedyfletcher.bsky.social

YouTube video by Jessica Kellgren-Fozard What have trans people contributed to my life?

Here's a nice little short worth giving a boost.

Yeah. I'm left-brained for language and logic.

Right-brained for everything else.

And yet...

The go-to demographic any time folks want to talk child protection is always the gender-non-conforming.

Because we aren't like the normies and make an easy target!

This used to be a line in a stand-up i would do. Well, not this line exactly. But the observation that in the US, when it comes to folks doing bad things in loos, for a long time the score was:

Trans women - zero
Republican politicians - 3 or 4
Men of religion - dozens and dozens!

But I guess it wouldn't be remembrance without some reform adjacent bellend trying to appropriate commemoration for purposes of promoting fascism...

Speeding past the fact that she was born here... Lawrence is displaying not just massive racism, but also massive ignorance.

Because poppy wearing is a thing across much of the Commonwealth, including british counties like Canada, New Zealand and India.

I note that the excremental Lawrence Fox has been whining about @zarahsultana.bsky.social wearing a poppy.

He would like her to "go home" (neat trick if she can manage it, seeing as she was born in birmingham).

He also objects to her wearing a poppy, seemingly because that is for true brits only.

<sigh>

My gran lived thru the war, and is now long gone.

She passed in 1990 or thereabouts.

There was much good about her.

She was also an out and out racist and xenophobe. But never a nazi.

I knew that in the 60s.

People are complicated.

The one concession to convenience was Sarah Lee... a phenomenon driven by the arrival of chest greeters in the late 60s.

A frozen Sarah Lee dessert was a Sunday afternoon treat!

Very, very little of my diet now is processed. There is always home-baked cake in the freezer.

Chutneys. Jams. Biscuits. And a variety of more exotic dishes. Parents lived out in the far East for a while. So, i love to create curries.

Good for you.

In my case, i come from a family that cooked and baked. Some of it was pretty basic. A lot of 1960s and 70s habits in there.

But my mum cooked. My dad cooked. My gran cooked.

And i have carried on the tradition.

Even the onions appear to be prefried...

Like, what sort of culinary ignoramus doesn't know how to fry onions?

I mean, that looks awful, whichever year you buy it in. Processed, sweetened, and seemingly little wiggle room for folks to do their own thing.

Or maybe that's the idea. By making the package deal smaller, Walmart are hoping to bring back traditional values in the kitchen?
