Shananigans

I like to gameify the appts personally. If I make it to all of the things I get a treat. Now, do I imply the treats are for the kids? Maybe. Do I deserve a treat too? Absolutely! YMMV. Good luck!

This is what happens when you leave me unattended at the fish counter. I come home with a dinner thing and an appetizer idea. I really like scallops and it’s often them.

I am on to you. I see what you did there.

A young man with Down Syndrome sits on a couch with a ukulele in his lap. A young woman with red hair and her back to the camera faces him on the couch.

Possibly one the best hours every week, Nico has music therapy. Today she taught him to make a C chord on his ukulele.

This is ableist bullshit. One of the only good things to come out of Covid was that people felt *more* empowered to keep their germs at home. That was progress!

Why are they demanding kids suffer? Not to mention the poor teachers and staff. Kill ‘em all and let god sort it out? Is that the plan?

Wow. I’m so sorry. Home burglary is awful.

Wait wait! I know this one! Ignore and Block. This is the way.

A bright orange ridgid mushroom sticks up out of the leaf bed in a forest.

A large chicken of the woods clump at the very base of a mossy tree trunk. The mushroom looks like a cauliflower with a orange pink inside.

A large dead log covered in vibrant green moss and dozens of oyster mushrooms.

Today @lollardfish.bsky.social and I got up and went foraging for mushrooms. It was sticky and buggy and really fun. We found lobster, white spore chicken of the woods, and a ton of oyster mushrooms. Pics to follow.

This is bad. It won’t end with unhoused individuals, that’s just an opening gambit. They will enlarge it to cover anyone with mental disabilities.

And if you think it won’t be used to gather up anyone they don’t like based on bogus claims of mental health problems, I have a bridge to sell you.

They can carry multiple diseases. I do not recommend petting random otters without gloves and hand washing. It pains me to say this, as I am constantly yelling “Why won’t you let me love you?!” at the furry menaces.

✊🏻May your words be filled with power.

Pretty sure bacon is a snack food, right? We don’t need all of it for our dinner. 🥓

Several white tents and lots of people in front of the MN Capitol

A group of people sit and stand to listen to Peggy Flanagan in front of the Capitol.

A closer photo of the Lt Governor Peggy Flanagan speak the proclamation.

#DisabilityPride at the MN Capitol! So many orgs to connect with. You should come down!

Wow. That was something. I can’t believe that got a green light.

This is not how we want jobs. You did it wrong. 90 federal employees is not a huge number and we don’t like the federal prison system in MN.

QI! I have seen many clips. That will be fun for me.

OMG! AbFab! That is such a great add to my life. I can sense a need to improve our bubbles collection from 0 to >0.

Also, around here we have enjoyed celebrating Bastille Day for years, 18 or so. This is the first year I wish we were actually doing more than eating French foods. #NoKings

They want people uneducated and ignorant of their rights. That is the whole game.

Two classes of citizens. Those who run everything and have enough food, resources, and education to not worry. And the rest of us who will have to work for them to squeak by or die trying. They don’t care which.

Please make sure if you know any people capable of being pregnant to consider their future. Currently you can still get these things on the internet. It is getting less and less likely to remain available.

I have a quiche in the oven and am hungry and why is it not done yet?? Gah!

This thing with time and temperature being important to the cooking process is annoying and I want my delicious food now.

It was effective. We watched Murderbot and had ice cream! Lovely end to the day. :)

I’m going to admit, I have no idea what we watched on this thing. Maybe at one point we saw Kermit singing Rainbow Connection?

What I do know is how much lint and dirt I picked out from around the wheels while it was on. I am not like other children. #neurodivergent #DisabilityPrideMonth

I volunteer on a non-partisan, non-profit board. Today I called for a vote to decommission our account on the site with the racist, anti-Semitic bot. I was so pleased to realize it was going to work.

Progress one account at a time.

How disappointed will the applicants be? Like, I thought it was my dream job! Now nothing but broken dreams. Such a tragedy.

A screen cap of part of a LinkedIn posting. At the top is the Anderson corporation name and logo below is marshmallow taste tester Oceanside California nine hours ago. Nine people clicked apply.

I have to guess there is testing going on. As currently they have a listing for a marshmallow taste tester.

Haven’t you always wanted to be a cool kid? You too could join the masses.

(The cool kid thing is never going to happen, for me, ymmv, but something to read!)

FWIW the ebook of me & @lollardfish.bsky.social’s “OATHBREAKERS” is ~80% off on Amazon!

This! Our kid is a f@cking delight. Having to fight for his right to be treated equitably is exhausting. The systems are rigged and we all deserve better. #DisabilityPride
