She/Her. Melancholic neurodivergent goofball. Sometimes philosophical.
Going to make a bunch of soup today to have (and freeze) for the coming week and a half, and fortunately the weather is going to cooperate to help quickly chill the soup without heating up everything in the freezer.

Happy "the porch is extra freezer space" season to all who celebrate!

I don't talk about my Day Job a whole lot on here, but at the Day Job, I hear basically every day from seniors who receive huge numbers of fraudulent calls. It is absolutely infuriating that no one in any position of authority seems to want to be bothered enough to put even a dent in this problem.
"For some, the calls are unrelenting, rendering their phones almost unusable. Others who receive calls later discover that their accounts have been compromised, even if they do not remember giving out personal details." (gift article)

Mug cozy. My first attempt at actually following a plan for a project. Yes, it's kinda uneven, but hopefully this will help keep my tea from getting prematurely cold while I'm working.

currently at 20% of our goal. for clarity, we will be getting on the older two on the angel tree at the kids' school, but I'm keeping the goal as-is to hopefully also be able to get some extra winter clothes for all three.

seriously thank you for all the support/sharing 💜

Mark this down:

On Monday, Trump will announce that he "saved" the SNAP program and people will get their food stamps for November. Republicans will claim that Democrats wanted people to starve but Trump made sure it didn't happen. The media will go along with them.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

“mr speaker do you have any concerns about the amount of information your staff is apparently hiding from you” is a pretty obvious question that needs to be asked
Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

Hey everyone!

I am so sorry to ask for help but I'm in a very dire situation since my mom is in the hospital and I'm stuck with the bill.

I don't expect to hit the $1600 goal but literally ANYTHING helps.

Thank you so very much and I'm so sorry.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

However, it’s still a good time to remember that everything said here (and on a lot of social media) is public or can be easily retrieved by the platform owners because they will toady up and bow to any admin.
