Well, my rolls and charcuterie board are pretty, but the pie with the lattice crust just looks like some kind of eldritch horror.

Gotta do some holiday baking. Should I do a regular blackberry pie, a blackberry rose pie, or a blackberry honey goat cheese pie?

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Just got all snuggly in bed and got a notification that I have groceries being delivered. It's nice that the store is on top of my shit because I am clearly not.

After trying to reach out to some family today, it’s very clear how very much alone I am on this shit planet.

I have nothing to fall back on.

No job, student loans, no home.

Can someone please rehome my #kitties? I desperately need to ASAP

I don’t have money for rent beyond maybe Jan. #phoenix

Trump is a textbook abuser. To his wives, to his employees, to his business partners, to American states and foreign countries he doesn't like.

He's the world's abusive boyfriend.

Having the most disorienting day. Woke up at 8am but apparently immediately rolled over and went back to sleep until 1pm. Feel like I was kicked by an olympic soccer team all night or something.

Neighbor cat that likes pets hut doesn't seem to like being held decided to hop up on my chest and curl around my throat to sleep while I sat on a bench. We both fell asleep in the sun. Highly recommend it.

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Raked some leaves while my child was swinging on his swingset and went around the corner to rake and like 10 mins later went back around the corner and he was shirtless with his pants inside out (so had also been pantless) and coat and shoes/socks on the ground. It was like 47⁰ out and rainy.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

Hello, my dears!
A Very Important Topic just now is #FoodInsecurity, and this is an issue worldwide. Governments seem in no great rush to do their jobs.

Once again, it comes down to the individual.

Could you please add a link for food assistance in your area, and I'll pin this.
Thank you!
