So @efilnikufsin.bsky.social got me a fancy bread maker for my birthday (yes, THAT fancy one) and today I took the dough cycle out for a spin. Looking forward to slicing into these baguettes tonight! 😋

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

Sheba @shebainpdx.bsky.social · 20h

It occurs to me that there have probably been more innings without beer sales than with beer sales at this point

Not sure why, but lately if I do Spotify radio based off of any contemporary Latinx music the play list trends heavily toward Bad Bunny. I am irrationally exuberant about this, NGL

Every time you have chicken for dinner, save bones & leftovers in the freezer. Every time you chop veggies, save ends & bits in the freezer. When you have enough, dump em into a crockpot, cover w/water, cook overnight on low, season to taste & strain. Congrats, you just made kickass chicken broth!

I still want an enamel pin. We have a solemn vow in the house about mugs. If I bring one in I have to take one out.

August 2002 Portland protest outside of a George Bush the elder fundraiser, $25K to get a picture with the guy. As a result of this and other protests, Bush later referred to Portland as "Little Beirut." Photo credit Peter Nelson.

"Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is sparking debate with claims that injecting bleach is good for you, but scientists say the evidence is lacking. Here's what the science actually says."

Making wildly inaccurate claims about medical practices & outcomes isn't "sparking debate." It's irresponsible & harmful.

When we sold the family home, the buyers (a young family) were concerned cos both of my parents passed there. My brother assured them it was a house filled with love, right up to the end, & they were persuaded. I hope those halls are once again filled w/peals of kid laughter.

Much hugs, friend. ♥️
