Geeze. First the news that rice contains extreme levels of arsenic and cadmium and now this. Even the "healthy" foods are poisonous.

Hey SC, hope it’s been super fun owning the libs—because the anti-DEI DOGE stuff is coming for the daughters of affluent conservatives, too!

Spent the weekend sick and still feeling less than my best today. Got out a pot and started throwing in whatever healthy ingredients I could find to help me kick this. Healthy? Absolutely. Delicious? Very much so. Posting ingredients list:

Frustrated that Hello Fresh now makes it difficult to cancel your subscription, adding more hoops to jump through. Used to be you'd click 1-2 buttons & maybe provide a "why" but now you have to go searching & then chat with a bot who's every response involves them trying to bargain with you to stay.

Like my witchcraft practice, I find it fulfilling to use up what I have on hand. It's the same when it comes to creating simple yet mindful meals. Once you get a good idea of what goes well with what and what your tastes are, you'll be amazed at how energizing and rewarding food creation can be.

My little baby boy, Jasper. My delightfully strange and wonderfully sweet middle child. The second baby my husband and I ever adopted. The peacekeeper of the family and trusted confidant of the spirits. Beloved by all whether they be human, other animals, or creatures from the void.

The face of a lady who, rather than attempt to drive her RWD sedan in 6" of snow, opted instead to walk over 2 miles to check on her friend's cats since her friend is experiencing travel delays. Anything for friends and cats. But mostly cats.

It's been snowing and sleeting for awhile now. Imagine my surprise when, while walking my dog really quick so he could do his business, I see a flash of light above us, followed by a very long and deep rumble of thunder.

Starting 2025 off with some thundersnow.
