For #WhatIDoForWorkWednesday and #WindowsOnWednesday, I present a home I photographed and had to sign an NDA regarding buyers/sellers.

I have this exact court in my home, but I could only afford 3 basketballs.

The hate America rally chose such a specifically American branding that sister protests in a bunch of countries have to somewhat awkwardly change it to "No Tyrants."

they have been trying to do meme authoritarianism, and that means generating the right kinds of content--the forces of Order vs the forces of Chaos, riots and violence and burning shit and ""antifa supersoldiers""

the kind of imagery to justify the kind of powers they aspire to

There’s no decisive way to ward off Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. As I noted in the earlier posts in this thread, the Trump regime is manufacturing the violence it will use to give itself political cover to do so. One thing people should NOT do is stop protesting. 9/

They just killed NHANES.

Every US public health student learns about this study.

It’s given us all sorts of important knowledge about the health of Americans and they just ended it.

Ugh... This study has existed for decades, providing valuable health data for all sorts of topics and publications. This is just more awful news. 🛟😷 Sociology medsky

NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.

Top half of the face of a blonde-haired woman with large green eyes. You can't see her devilish smile, but she is smiling. It is the witch, Angelique.

Jennifed @jennifed.bsky.social · 12h

I'm not ready for Angelique to be in 1967, I tell you I am not prepared! I still need to know Vickie's ancestry and if Peter came back with Vickie after they were hanged in 1795 and we're getting a new character every episode it seems! Now Angelique? I'm not ready! #DarkShadows

"Sara" has worked in Watsonville CAs strawberries for 16 yrs. "I earn piece rate. It's raining which makes the rows slippery and the mud sticks to our shoes. It's dangerous as we still need to work fast to make enough money to pay our bills." #WeFeedYou

The #FruitCakening has begun. Soaking fruit in rum.
These fruits are all from the USA, mostly from close-by Michigan, but the prices have gone up by a third or more.
(Figs, apricots, pineapple, cherries, citron.
Dried blueberries, raisins, golden raisins, pecans, and walnuts added after soak.)

Bright colors of dried and candied fruits all mixed together.

Government workers 👇🏾

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

I shared this video through @redpopnews.bsky.social about the Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration at the Getty because it was beautiful to share our cultures and to be appreciated for who we are as Native people beyond the Hollywood tropes and Stereotypes and not as relics of the past.

A cheap, boring way to make extra-potent ginger tea is by chopping up fresh ginger, putting it into a thermos, pouring hot water in, and forgetting about it for several hours. I also add fresh lemon juice and honey.

My nephew and his wife have just welcomed a baby girl to the world and they are NOT naming her Josette. 😞

Today marks the anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard. After being lured out to the country he was beaten and tied to a fence and left for dead. For being gay.

I have a story about how his death impacted me, and it starts back in 1997, when I first moved from my birth city to Texas...
