periodically we see a brand new food invention
usually it is clear that the inventor should be sent to The Hague, but on rare occasions we encounter one whose inventor should be immediately canonized for their contribution to humanity
this is such an invention

Every day should be like this for all of them. ALL OF THEM. ALL THE TIME. EVERYWHERE THEY GO. They shouldn't be able to go out to eat, to relax, to vacation, to shop, without someone making a noise.
Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

It’s another work week for our representatives, which means it’s time to call them.
Here’s my guide to calling. Share how you want. I made it downloadable to send to folks who aren’t Extremely Online. We need them too.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later
Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

For folks in California who are trying to get hold of Senator Schiff and can't leave a number with his DC office because the voicemail is full, this number for his SF office (not listed on his website!) is working and I was able to leave a message.
Someone linked this for me and I tried and it seemed to work?
"Schiff has an SF office at 415-393-0707"

My favorite ADHD tip:
OHIO: Only Hold It Once
If you pick something up, finish the task for it. Go get the mail? Go through it right away. Picking up some laundry, put it away now. Etc. If I don’t do it immediately, I will likely forget it exists altogether.

Los Angeles, show up for these kittens??? They need good homes.
I made holiday themed bio cards for the stray kittens I need to find homes for, and I know there’s effectively zero chance it’ll be through Bluesky, but they’re adorable and I want to show them to you
