Speaking of food, I tried Rao sauce for the first time tonight. I refused to buy any because there is no way a jar of pasta sauce could be worth $8.
Sad to report it was very much worth $8.

I think I've hit the wall on this week's declutter. I just need to clean up a small appliance and I'll pack up whatever else is left until next time.

I don't remember who dropped this book suggestion, but thank you. I'm about half through & loving it.
This is exactly the kind of book I've been looking for for like... years. Third person, sizzling, and sexy AF. So far, low-stress & fluffy, but that's what my soul needs these days

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.
DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.
This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!
Stay frosty, friends.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.
