A very good thread on masking, especially in these hellish times when the systems meant to protect us are being spitefully destroyed by evil little power hungry gremlins. Mask up! Protect yourselves and your community! 😷😷😷

if you are rightfully concerned if not frightened about the continued dissolution of U.S. healthcare infrastructure, would you take an action every day to resist it?

Please read Kate's piece and watch Zohran's video. So important, so good, and so hopeful. I cried watching it too.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

It’s time to make this again. First batch lasted almost three delicious weeks. So worth it.

Whaaaat two recipe threads in a day?

Gotta share because @alwayscoffee.bsky.social demanded it

I tried making my own granola and it’s …amazeballs?!? Unexpected beginner’s success! WHICH MEANS YOU CAN DO IT TOO

Except if you have nut allergies, sorry

Okay let’s do this—

The reclaiming/reframing of frogs as Antifascist after enduring years of the execrable Pepe is glorious and I am here for every scrap of new heroic frog art

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

I believe I’ve developed a new skill in my advanced years & that is profoundly being in the way of other shoppers at the grocery store

Though I suppose this might be a skill I’ve always possessed but did not notice until now

They see me—there’s eye contact—then they drive their cart right at me

I should probably append that few, if any hot dogs are holy, as they are gelatinized tubular meat slurry with “permissible” levels of rat droppings

They can be delicious, heck yeah

But they’re unholy

Apologies if you ate a hot dog tonight

So holy hot dogs, Ottawa was down 2-0 in the first but came back to win it on the road! Woohoo!

End of the second period we have had some more scuffles and also goals happened. 3-3 tie.

Meanwhile: the Canadiens are destroying the Red Wings. Habs could be good this year. @gianttourtiere.bsky.social will be so pleased he might let someone out of the Brig

Well hockey is starting off feisty. Three brawls, two without gloves, three guys in each penalty box right now for the Senators and Lightning

💙📚Did @kevinhearne.bsky.social write an entire book so he could offhandedly drop in the legend of the creation of truck nutz? Uproarious humor, redemption arcs, adventure, and love cheese. And the phenomenal narration of Luke Daniels.

One of the wonky things is that the product page is supposed to show you a wee gallery of what the calendar is like inside and currently it’s not doing that. So here’s what it’s like—holidays for two different countries, a bunch of faiths, and occasionally my shenanigans

Photo of the March spread, which features a cedar waxwing with a blueberry in its beak, and then of course the days of the month with holidays and such marked.
