New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

I’d like to know if I would enjoy exercising more or if it would hurt me and prevent me from exercising ever again

I’m in a country with socialized medicine I could test this out and for the consequences

Half the gummies taste like butt and only look like candy to belie how disgusting they are — there is something wholesome about dried fruit that tastes like dried fruit but also gets you stoned

Sarah Rose @thesarahrose.bsky.social · 12m

Real question, does anybody do weight-bearing exercise while stoned?

Does lifting while high sound like a bad idea or a good one

It could all be vegetables children hate, like cabbage or rutabaga

Sarah Rose @thesarahrose.bsky.social · 19m

In Quebec, there are no gummies or chocolate bars because the government doesn’t want children to mistake pot for candy — so instead all the edibles are dried fruit.

I just tried THC dried figs. So civilized.
(but also I mostly miss the candy)

It is a lovely trip

Fresh autumn strawberries in containers from Ile d’orleans Quebec

Artisanal, apple butters and jams on a shelf from tigidou! Confiture in Quebec

It’s like my own private pool — which I would sit in for hours if there were a phone holder

Oversized square hotel tub, full of blue water with a grab bar, all surrounded by clean, white subway tile, with a cup of coffee and a bottle of water decided and a towel on the subway tile floor — there is no telephone holder

I don’t get a fancy hotel room with a giant bathtub often, but when I do I wonder why the hospitality industry hasn’t included a phone holder for every single one — like for a car dashboard

The gentleman’s agreement that prevented people from reporting on Barron is now over

It is open season

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 1d

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Barron Trump tipped for top TikTok job

US president’s 19-year-old son could be appointed to the app’s board

At the airport, I found a small pack of unopened gummies in my purse and had to leave them for some stranger instead because I am a total moron who was leaving the country

So if you’re at EWR terminal C, just short of gate 70 enjoy

This is how the shutdown ends — when air traffic walks out

Good points!

It’s been a while since I’ve done that for more than a weekend every few years

Now that’s a complete second residence…

If I stay in the NE for the weather, is it really worth the extra $$$

Path dependency is real

I don’t particularly like being a NYCer, I can’t afford it anymore, should I just go…home?

Sarah Rose @thesarahrose.bsky.social · 2d

Would I save enough money in rent I could flee for Dec-March — effectively carry a second home?
