🤮

Depending on the recipe/form of soy, I have had success subbing it with eggplant, mushrooms, chickpeas, or beans.

Gray and white husky lying on some grass. She has one blue eye and one brown eye and looks like she is smiling. Her fur is a little damp because she went wading in the lake earlier.

Could it be a juvenile starling?

I've never seen seed trays for sale either, but we poke holes in the bottom of the plastic trays grocery store mushrooms come in. They're smaller but sorta similar.

Booooo! My kids and I loved identifying the wild stuff we find in the woods on inaturalist, but if genAI is in, we're out!

I never find them on nature romps, but frequently on garden flowers like zinnias, marigolds, & tithonia.

Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back.
Bring them ALL back
Turn back every deportation flight
Empty every detention center and prison
Burn every border

Yes!

...and here's my neighbor's cat flopping on it and demanding to be petted (he's a great little cat)!

Here's a nice iris blooming in my yard...

I feel like we need to form a League of Relatively Normal People, and our agenda should be things like:

--Canada's cool, leave them be
--Lot of smart people at universities, that's a plus
--We're scared of getting cancer, so let's research it
--Fewer floods and wildfires would be nice

In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

Yes! Mine does!

And library book clubs

I was going to suggest the same, especially like shrinking mainline congregations-- the older people are often the ones who are left. Also birding groups & garden clubs seem to skew older.

A very handsome eastern eyed click beetle on the ground amid leaves and twigs. The beetle is black with white speckles and big eyespots.

Yes! This one crashed into me last summer

If it's this, there are youtube videos with instructions for the Epley manouver to stop it.

Maybe Mr. Collins was goldfish-haunted? So damp.

Greek mountain tea is really yummy. My grocery store keeps it in the international aisle rather than with the rest of the tea.

Since being having kids I am perpetually shocked that there are billions of us, because somebody had to do the whole pregnancy thing to make each one of the billions. Also, all the best to you and your impending baby!

Even with the free version you can increase speed and/or remove silences

Being behind on your Bonne Maman calender sounds like a win, because now it lasts longer!

Initially missed the "would like to" and was briefly so excited

That's amazing!

There's a kids (like middle school say) bio of him called Captain of the Planter by Dorothy Sterling-- it's pretty good!

Our leaders are collaborators with fossil fuel colonialists. This is the source of our communal dread | Tim Winton The lassitude that distinguishes our moment is born of sorrow and buried rage. We act like colonial subjects because, in effect, that’s what we are
