Giving blood is a simple but powerful act — it saves lives.

So today, on #WorldBloodDonorDay, please, if you can, give blood.

And if you have already done it — thank you. 🙏

You wanted people to fear you LEOs/ICE?
Well now they do NOT trust any of you.
If they refuse your commands don’t be surprised when one of you is shot.
I suggest you change your tactics for your safety.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping.

None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

By the time you reach your thirties, you should have:
- crippling anxiety
- a dog with anxiety
- your phone's camera roll filled with 329,461 photos of your dog sleeping

I pulled a half gallon of sap from my sugar maple. That gives me a total of two gallons of sap at the moment, which will probably give me about two cups of syrup once it's cooked down. 🤣

A photo of a gallon water jug filled halfway with tree sap. The background is a blurry kitchen background, a cutting board, some black cabinets, a sliver of a window.

I transferred the sap from the bucket under my red maple. I got about 1.5 gallons. This might be the only good sap I get from this tree this year bc it's budding already??? 😭 I just noticed the yesterday... I haven't pulled the sugar maple yet, but that tree doesn't have any buds yet.

Photo of a downward angle looking onto a kitchen island. On it is a gallon water hug filled with tree sap, and a kitchen kettle filled partway with sap.

Photo of tree branches from below with a clear blue sky as the background. The branches are bare, aside from spring buds.

My strawberry cheong is complete and strained out! 🥰 It's so beautiful and delish, and I'm so glad it ended up fitting perfectly in this bottle!

We're rounding the end of our first winter in our house, and my mom gave me a couple of her taps and buckets so I could tap the two maple trees that we have! One is a sugar maple & the other is a red maple.

Photo of a suburban yard in late winter, a wide sugar maple tree is prominent in the foreground. In the trunk is a sap tap, with tubing that connects down to a white bucket for collection.

Finished this dead tree back in Dec of 2020. Lower half (trunk & roots) is healed, upper half with the branches is fresh in these photos. Tbh, the roots on the hand could use some touchups, but that's the gamble you play sometimes with hands when your client does manual labor. 😅 #tattoos #TreeTattoo

Photo of a forearm over a solid black background. Along the full length of the forearm is a gray wash tattoo of a realistically styled dead tree, with bare branches spanning the upper half, and roots flowing down onto the hand.

Frankly it’s embarrassing how much George Orwell’s “1984” gets wrong about 1984. The publisher should update it to be more accurate, e.g. “Winston heard ‘Eat It’ by Weird Al Yankovic playing on the radio. ‘I’d hate to be Michael Jackson right now!’ he said to Big Brother”

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.
