"If you really wanted it, you'd work harder for it," is ableist.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I hate that in sci-fi and apocalypse stories, the biggest threat is always other humans.

I hate it because of the accuracy. And it's hitting particularly close to home right now.

3rd Baking Yesteryear bake! Ricciarelli. Apparently I overdid the powdered sugar. 😂 These were a hit with my dnd group but we all agreed that if I were to make them again, I should reduce the almond and increase the lemon.

I watched the first season of Hazbin Hotel today. I feel like this show was made with a very specific audience in mind and I check all the boxes.

Hubby: Do we need to keep Paramount+?
Me: Why, do we dislike them? I mean, aside from them being a media conglomerate, did they do something?
Hubby: No, it just costs money.
Me: *stares at him* But it's where the Star Trek is.
Hubby: So?

😦 He said SO?

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.

Have you read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series? That's 7 books you won't be able to put down.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

Over 50 Dems have signed on to co-sponsor articles of impeachment against Noem.

Use the link below to demand your members of Congress to get behind this!

My second Baking Yesteryear bake was Starchies and I will claim these were not a success. They look good but they taste super gluey. I ended up going online and learning you should stop adding cornstarch once you have a dough. So I had to do some fixes that probably didn't help.

What can we all do? Make it known that ICE agents should have terrible days, every day. Just every day worse than the last and that we’re keeping score and the bill will come due. If they leave ICE, they get a little discount.

My NY's resolution is to bake something from #BakingYesteryear for every life dnd session I have. I decided to start with coconut macaroons. I think they look pretty good. Hubby stole one before I could even get them on the cooking rack. His finding? "Too hot." Sir.

Nevermind. It was also the US.

Just... kidnapped a president, huh? A whole-ass leader of a foreign government. Wow. When is the last time a country had kidnapped another country's head of state??

I just finished Heated Rivalry and I have one request. Can #jacobtierney please redo Red, White, and Royal Blue as a show???

Omg omg omg. I just saw the underside of the Tusk Love book jacket and I am DELIGHTED.

I feel like if the reveal of who was being kept in the compound was actually impactful, we wouldn't have needed the flashback to be reminded who that even was. js.

#strangerthingsspoilers kinda

Me for the first 3 eps s5: You can't fool me just by having Mike and Will not interact! I will not be bamboozled!

Me after ep 4: I apologize for my outburst. Carry on.

My current mantra: It is enough to work 9 hours a day. You are doing nothing wrong by signing off at 5pm. How much others choose to work is not your responsibility. It is okay to take a reasonable workload and protect your mental health.

Love when I’m arguing with someone about basic human rights and they say, "agree to disagree." No??? I will agree to no such thing?!

The number of people whose work, talent, etc. have amazed me during a long life that have turned out to be crazy, evil, supportive of evil, etc... is not a small number any longer. Entire bodies of work that I have supported now make me unbearably sad.

Why is "Disney Adult" an insult? Oh no, this person managed to keep some of their childlike whimsy in this hell world! The horror?

Finally sitting down to watch CR and just... who said Robbie could 1. look like that, 2. make his character look like *that*, and 3. make his character's voice sound like THAT.

Being self-aware with mental illness is wild.

Mental illness brain: you are bad at your job

Regular brain: no I’m not, that's just the imposter syndrome talking

MIB: my god, it's so bad you've even managed to convince yourself you're good at this!

RB: Oh god, you're right.

😅🙄
