If I had harvested a day or two earlier, I wouldn’t have had to cut it out from between the bars.
Yes- it’s a depressing analogy about how our nation had a chance to choose an intelligent woman instead of a racist dictator.
But here we are; you, me, the cucumber, and the country. 🌱#zone8b

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a fashion designer. While this is less haute couture and more haute dog, I’m still really happy with how they came out! @thefoldingchairs.bsky.social

In Sweden, every Saturday is effectively a national holiday, called lördagsgodis, which means “Saturday candy.”

How to Eat Candy Like a Swedish Person

Scandinavia, in general, is crazy for candy, but no one eats more than the Swedes.
