I'm a weirdo and I dig kale, and would look up ways to process turnips into food 🤣

OK so Gala isn't the best, but Red Delicious is absolute garbage that only tastes like chewing. Honeycrisp or Pink Lady though? Heaven.

Gala > Fuji > Red Delicious

My goofball Moose is very protective, which is cool because even though 99.999% of the time he doesn’t need to be so obnoxious and barky, that .001% of the time where I might need protection, he would bite the shit out of anyone who tried to hurt me. He is a very good boy.

My mom is talking about Thanksgiving already (American Thanksgiving, not Canadian, so it’s definitely early) and doesn’t get that after the shitstorm last year I’m very leery about planning anything this year. I’d hate to get my hopes up and be uninvited at the last minute again

Hey. Sometimes the world is good and lovely, and it wraps you up in hope and beauty and warmth. Like it was a shawl.

The group who won were called The Coven btw.

A tumblr post by @notsofrangible:
the world has been horrifying recently but i have
personally witnessed something that brought me joy.

Every year, California's largest sheep and fiber festival, Lambtown, takes place in Dixon, CA. On the second day of Lambtown, teams of eight compete in a "sheep to shawl" competition, where the teams must start the day with un-spun wool and end the day with a 72" woven shawl. Teams may "warp" a loom ahead of time (where you thread the loom with its foundation of parallel
threads), but on the day of competition they must spin their wool into yarn and weave it into a complete shawl.

This year competition was stiff, and very very close, and the winning team finished their shawl with two and a half minutes to spare.

Photo from tumblr post. Original image alt text "Two masterfully woven shawls lay folded in half
atop a green table. the distal shawl, in red and
green, has the second place ribbon. the first place and champion ribbons lay atop the shawl in the foreground, woven with the colors of the trans flag"

Photo from the tumblr post. Original image alt text "a close up picture of a shawl woven in the colors
of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white), with first
place and champion ribbons resting on top of the
shawl."

Screenshot from the @lambtownfestival Instagram page. It shows a person in a blue top working at a treadle loom weaving the shawl in the trans flag colours of blue, pink and white. Her greying hair is pulled back in a tight bun and she wears glasses. A pair of sandals are placed neatly next to the loom. She is weaving barefoot.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.
