There are quite a few lessons the last couple of years have taught me. The most important one is about showing up for the people you care about. I care about this man, my big brother. Maybe stop today and remind your people that you love them.

So, I took a lithography class, but had to miss a day which means I never made a print. This is the raw etching I did. Sadly, that’s all I got 🤷🏼♀️ #lithography #epicfail

@sluggodoug.bsky.social, may I please introduce Sid Viscious, the Malicious One. When he is not out murdering mice, voles, rabbits and squirrels (all known kills) he is in the house listening to you on First Wave.

I own a TV, but I haven’t turned it on in months so this is maybe just symbolic, but if that’s all it is, I’m good with that.
I’m done with mainstream media.
What did I do instead? Joined the Murrow Society at my local NPR station.

It’s the latest installment of Twelve Meals With(out) My Mom. This month, I’m headed to a townie bar in rural Wisconsin to recon with suffering and joy as the ultimate act of resistance. Bonus video of my mom engaging a little radical joy! girlchef.substack.com/p/twelve-mea...

There's a lot to be outraged about right now. In the total scheme of things, what happened at the Kennedy Center this week is low on the list, but it really struck me. So, I did what I do... I wrote about it: open.substack.com/pub/girlchef....
