I feel like I need to do a post to say I know about the horrors, everyone knows about the horrors. I am not going to post about the horrors. I am going to try not to repost about the horrors. That doesn't mean I don't care, but that I don't believe my voice is needed for that in this moment.

It was fine until tonight, and now I've got just the spider going

For some reason this keeps tripping the gfci outlet, but it shouldn't, right? Just one little inflatable and one string of LEDs?

It's a week later than I intended, but Halloween is up

The side of a house. In the windows on the left is the silhouette of a witch casting a spell over a cauldron. In the window on the right is the silhouette of a woman holding her detached head above the stump of her neck. An inflatable spider hangs on the porch, and orange and purple lights wrap around the porch railing

It's some bullshit program that takes hs voucher dollars and gets you a HS diploma and an associates at the same time

two of the products we tested — Huel's Black Edition meal replacement powder and Naked Nutrition's vegan mass gainer — had enough lead that our experts caution against using them at all

a single serving of these protein powders contained between 1,200 and 1,600% of CR’s level of concern for lead

Two plant-based protein powders contained enough lead that our experts advise against consuming them. Naked Nutrition’s Mass Gainer powder contained 7.7 micrograms of lead per serving, which is roughly 1,570 percent of CR’s level of concern for the heavy metal. One serving of Huel’s Black Edition powder contained 6.3 micrograms of lead, or about 1,290 percent of CR’s daily lead limit.

Two other powders contained lead between 400 and 600 percent of CR’s level of concern: Garden of Life’s Sport Organic Plant-Based Protein and Momentous’ 100% Plant Protein. Consumers should limit these to once a week, Akinleye says. (See company responses below.)

The only non-plant-based protein powder with lead detected at over 200 percent of CR’s level of concern was MuscleMeds’ Carnivor Mass powder. Six additional plant-based powders, five dairy-based powders and shakes, and one beef powder contained lead above CR’s level of concern.

We also found measurable levels of cadmium and inorganic arsenic in some products. One serving of Huel’s Black Edition plant-based protein powder contained 9.2 micrograms of cadmium, more than double the level that public health authorities and CR’s experts say may be harmful to have daily, which is 4.1 micrograms.

Another plant-based option, Vega’s Premium Sport powder, had enough cadmium that one serving would also put you just over that level. In one dairy-based product, Optimum Nutrition’s Serious Mass whey protein powder, we also detected 8.5 micrograms per serving of inorganic arsenic, which is twice the limit of what our scientists say is safe to consume daily.

But I also have things like pack my lunch, put it in the car, take it with me inside, put on deodorant, give the dog her meds, etc that are easy for me to forget but important to do

This is very much an ADHD thing that I also struggle with, and the most important thing about the "routine" is that things have to happen in order or I forget one

This also messes with bookcases for storing them. They used to all be the same height and now I need more space between some shelves

Husband requested I crochet a bone for Halloween decor. I have regrets.

A crochet bone on a couch. Supposed to look like a standard cartoony femur but it looks disturbingly phallic.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.
