Just here to see pics of nature, flowers and cats.
Edited to include that I’m pissed off about the current administration and “the way things are”… but also, I follow posts about pets, plants and beaches.

100% agree about mouthfeel.
Any time a food show contestant says “deconstructed” or a judge says “unctuous (mouthfeel!)” I feel a way.

You ever wonder what it would be like to NOT think about the US president every single day, wondering what he’s said now or what he’s doing? Like, just to trust that the president is doing his job without stressing about it?

Big, beautiful ovations. People tell me that means loud clapping. It was beautiful. The most big ovation anyone has ever seen. Everyone said it was beautiful. And big. The clapping was so big and beautiful.

This is the big takeaway.
No matter who is implicated, others know. Those others will speak out with authority when they’re able.
It might take a while, but someone who knows something will speak out.
Whether Trump is still alive and accountable at that point is a different question.

Take heart knowing that the people doing their jobs, who have constantly done their jobs regardless of shutdowns, will continue doing their jobs.
Air travel is still safer than driving to work or to your kids’ school.
Delays mean that workers are taking the time to make sure you get there safely.

I’m guilty of having a “holiday travel” moment!
We booked a flight out of BUF to home for Tuesday thanksgiving week 2014.
We got a band of lake effect snow — over 5’ at our house that weekend.
I remember telling my husband “If the plane’s flying, we’re making it.”
We made it. It was hairy.

Dogs do chaos sometimes!
I’ll never forget coming home from a grocery trip to a kitchen completely destroyed because “dog + trash can + lower cupboards = FUN!”

I wear ear protection to shows nowadays. My advice: EARPLUGS AND CRANK IT LOUD AF!
Seriously, I’ve got hearing damage, probably from decades of punk/rock/metal shows.
But I also have no regrets, just earplugs and awareness now.
The ringing is constant and annoying.
Still worth it.

I’m not a smart person, but I can tell you that many (almost all recent) apartment complexes in my ~15 mile radius are all owned by by the same company.
It’s disgusting, since easily 50k people are affected by this landlord TM monopoly — local land/homeowners and renters alike.

I’m not saying you’re wrong — I agree with you — but fixing the current capitalist oligarchy and its inherent corruption would be v helpful on every level, including food chains and fuel.
Oil is unnecessary; so is starvation.
There’s plenty resources for everyone to be healthy, fed and warm!

I’m not sure if “illegally detained” means the same as “kidnapped” in legal terms but it’s the same thing to me. And now ICE is blurring those lines by “arresting” US citizens.
The kid in McMinnville OR who was “arrested” by ICE Friday during his high school lunch break was kidnapped in my view.

I’m still not sure how or why churches are not taxed.
I understand the separation of church and state, but when the church is influencing the state at every governmental level, the church should be accordingly taxed.

Reddit has a sub committed to this — it’s called NotADragQueen.
It’s (almost) always a white, straight, “Christian” man who is “a pillar of church, business and community” that does this shit.
Gay/drag DOES NOT EQUAL pedo or abusive.
White, male, Christian, “pillar of the church”? It’s likely.
