Dad, (clears throat, GRANDPA) significant other, solid home cook, musician, left-handed, friend.
Trying to be kind, but don't be a jerk. Go read a book w/o pictures. Grow some plants and food, at least try. You might learn something.

We don’t throw around the word "healthy" often, but this soup earns it. Loaded with carrots, ginger, and beans, it's especially perfect when you’re feeling under the weather. #soupoftheday #soups #peopleofthebean #ranchogordo #heirloombeans #leguminati #beansky

Saw this from our local to Indy bacon/sausage dealer, Old Major
Bacon & Leek Pie!: Old major bacons chopped up and sauteed with finely chopped leek. Slowly cooked together, tossed with grainy mustard and finished with a hearty roux. Packed into a pie crust made with rendered bacon fat, and butter.

Bluesky is failing me. Why did nobody tell me that the heckler from yesterday's Kristi Noem hearing was a Catholic priest chanting the phrase "The Power of Christ Compels You" - famously associated with exorcisms. 🤣😂

A fly who feeds on shit can thrive, but never return to polite society where the bees & butterflies roam. A fly will forever be a shit eater.

Every person in Trump's circle thrives on shit. But that's who they are now: shit eaters. They can never be brought back to polite society.

OMG the Cincinnati Children’s hospital Pastor speaks after being detained for 73 days by ICE and he is a legal U.S citizen & they knew it when they took him & they’ve known it for all 73 days! He said the there are a lot of people in there that are U.S citizens & no crimes ever!

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Went to a bonsai show and couldn't resist this trio of variegated Serissa japonica, Variegated Snowrose or Tree of a Thousand Stars. I suppose it depends on where one lives, but was told it's just "serissa" here in the midwest.
