Happy Paczki Day!

FYI, it's not a jelly donut.
What’s the difference between a paczki and a traditional American doughnut?
While some in Chicago will celebrate Fat Tuesday with King Cake and gumbo, many will mark the day by sinking their teeth into the soft and sweet Polish dessert known as paczki.

A human skeleton from the rib cage up, either made of or covered in dripping, gooey pink stuff. Its mouth is open and its eye sockets are heart-shaped and its nose hole the inversion of that. Squiggly pink tendrils ending in bright pink heart shapes are growing out of the skull and clavicle. The skeleton’s hands are held out in front of it toward the viewer making a heart-shaped space within the fingers which is filled with more drippy, runny, sticky, pink goo.

A Valentine’s Day cartoon for @newscientist.com
Title: A Valentine’s Day experiment In an effort to test the efficacy of cupids arrows of desire. A placebo group is shot with regular arrows. Their injuries range from moderate to sever. Unexpectedly, romances struck up in hospital and lawyers’ waiting rooms create a "romance ratio" similar to that of magic arrows. However, once the cost of compensation claims is factored in, it is decided to discontinue.

OH MY GOD WE'RE HAVING A FIRE (snail)

🔥Meet the fire snail. Found only in the cloud forests of Peninsular Malaysia, this species is easily recognizable thanks to its bright coloration and large size. It is threatened by habitat destruction and collection for the pet trade.

Pam Bondi loves dogs. Always had them, one after another. She got involved with dog shelters and dog rescue, and once pulled off to the side of a busy road and got out of her car to chase down a stray. Another dog she helped was a Saint Bernard named Master Tank. She adopted him from a shelter after he was lost during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, not long after her own Saint Bernard had died. The story has been told but bears repeating. Master Tank belonged to Steve and Dorreen Couture and their grandson, who was 4, recovering from the murder-suicide of his parents and losing his dog during the storm. Bondi said the dog was a “walking skeleton” and “dying from heartworms” when she adopted him. The Coutures eventually tracked down Master Tank, but instead of giving him back, Bondi hired a lawyer, who accused the Coutures of abusing the dog, which Bondi had renamed Noah. “She lied,” Dorreen told a Palm Beach Post columnist years later. “My little grandson begged her to take the dog home, and she refused. She thought she would just wear us down. That we were unstable people and would just quit.” The case was settled out of court, with Bondi securing visitation rights, but she never did visit. She got another dog.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell your Representatives to say "NO" to voter suppression and reject the SAVE Act.
Tell Your Senators to say "NO" to Voter Suppression
Next week, the House will vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a bill that would prevent millions of eligible Americans from voting. The SAVE Act would change how we register...

Taxpayer money for concentration camps

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

My local co-op, Wild Onion Market, is pretty great for many reasons, but also because they always have excellent music playing. Nothing beats shopping for paper towels while singing "Girl it ain't no sin to strip right down to your underwear"
