To protect my identity in these dangerous times, I’ve removed my photo from my pfp.

The amount of stress I’m experiencing from news, work, and family right now is unbelievable… I just want to eat desserts and nap until 2028.

Super close to believing there’s no such thing as “authentic” cuisine. Everything’s a hybrid.

Listening to a lot less @NPR lately. Seems entire broadcasts are driven by Cheeto and his minions with almost nothing about small and large efforts to resist. I just don't need to hear more about the Felon in Chief and Bluesky does a better job informing me of resistance efforts...

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

Might need a little fertilizer and some pruning back in spring. That stimulates growth hormones.

Roses are VERY tough shrubs! You can cut them to the ground and, given the right light and enough water, they will come back strong.

I find them about the same. They just use different chilies to get their 'hot.'

For Indigenous People’s Day, I’d like to infodump about the Cahokia mound. Built near present day St. Louis around 1000 CE, it was a vast trade hub with a population of about 20,000. This made it the largest city north of Mexico on the continent, bigger than London and Paris at the time!

The Cahokia mound, located outside modern day St. Louis, Missouri. It is a large hill which is now covered in grass, under a clear blue sky.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.
