Achievement unlocked: I have made sugar plums!
When I say that the thing that woke me up in a cold sweat after the election was the idea of RFK Jr as head of HHS, this is exactly why.
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Sometimes if I don't make a vegan roast for Thanksgiving, I get sad that I didn't have a vegan roast. So, today, I'm making this one for the first time. It seems like perfect prep for temps to absolutely plummet tonight into tomorrow.

It's days like today that I'm glad I follow @ethankocak.com because I hadn't realized it, but I really did need a whole bundle of baby snakes in my feed today. Missing the days when one of my jobs was "hold baby snakes so they get used to being handled" when I worked at the museum.

I've got a break in the cooking and now I don't know what to do with myself. It's too early to make the last dish on my list. If I make it now, it won't be warm when folks arrive. I've got like an hour and a half to do random things and then it's back to cooking!

I did an epic amount of chopping today to make tomorrow's cooking easier. But I'm in my mid 40s so now everything hurts. Thanking PastMaya for buying this heating low back massage pillow. Clutch move.

In my last scholarship presentations of the day, the class was chatty pre-presentation & we were talking about Thanksgiving & so I polled them on if they were team Pumpkin Pie or team Sweet Potato pie. Shockingly, this class in NC was mostly team Pumpkin. Who has failed them? Team Sweet Potato 4EVA!

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Pretty sure hundreds of people just here on Bluesky warned that the rush to mass-hire unvetted ICE agents was going to result in things like this.
And if it means the police and ICE become enemies, that would be awesome.
