#ACAB, #BLM, free Palestine, abolish the oligarchy, zero out the military budget, nationalize energy and rail to kill fossil fuels.
Oh, and did I say fuck cars?
Yeah, that too.
With food, gardening, and remodeling stuff.

She did make some slightly promising comments recently, or I wouldn’t have ordered this.
But if she doesn’t want to lose Michigan and everyone under 50, she needs to do better.

I texted my friend Vickie, and offered to lend her my Kamala costume.
She said, “ I already have one.”

So, I went ahead and answered the ATT email.
Watch this space; their responses are always hilarious.

So funny to get this email from ATT, about how they spilled my data just as I fled their larcenous rates, switched to TMobile, and paid $60 less WITH a new phone.
Yesterday I got a text from some collection agency that offered to settle their invented final bill for $55.
Late Capitalism, baby.

I’m quite proud of this soup.
Vegan bacon, 3 potatoes, 5 leeks, bottle of white wine, qt of cream, thyme and pepper. The key is to brown the bacon and taters first, so they don’t get mushy.
Add wine to stop sticking, then leeks, soften, and the cream and bring to boil.
Simmer an hour plus.

So, I thought making some potato leek soup would take my mind off my bad mood.
Nope.
Even root vegetables are pissed off.

Just listened to some 90’s pop, and remembered that “Treasure” is pretty damning about settler colonialism.
Plus ca change, and all that.

I still think about this roof garden I did in 1999.
It was ten years old when these pictures were taken.
Got ripped out a few years later.

So, my times walking Springwater (7 miles) were gradually getting slower (from 82 minutes to nearly 90), so I opted to invest in the UGG walking shoes I was wearing back then.
86 minutes.
Yep, it’s old age.
But they do feel like heaven, so that’s something.

This orchid started blooming in mid May so I moved it from the back stairwell to the living room, as usual.
Has been blooming twice a year for five years, and will probably last another month, if past is prologue.
My first (and probably last) success in this endeavor, after years of failure.

Cocktailhag heatwave hack:
Dig up an old window fan left over from the last smoke apocalypse, then put a big hunk of ice behind it.
It works better than I thought it would.

Nothing to see here but a mile long oil train heading into a densely populated urban area.

Last night’s dinner: kidney and cannellini beans with gnocchi, garlic, onions, carrots, fresh rosemary, Roma tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, and a few green beans from the garden.
A can of Amy’s tomato bisque as the base.
Served on a bed of spinach with a little sour cream and dill.
Tonight? Same.

I don’t know whether I’m embarrassed or proud to say that I still smoke out of the foil pipes I learned to make as a 15 year old busboy in the employee bathroom.
I buy fancy stuff, and it gets clogged and I’m invariably too lazy to clean it.
This way, I have a new one every week.

Since my weather app is saddled with this shit if I just move my thumb wrong, for once it made me gloat.
It’s a mere 80 here, and pleasantly breezy.

I made my usual tofu peanut curry, with onions, cauliflower, tomatoes, coconut, peanut butter, and coconut milk.
Served over brown basmati rice.
Tasty, easy, and 3 dinners of leftovers.

Just listening to this awesome 1987 album.
Sample lyric from “Confession”:
“We held their hands
To steal their lands
And turn our bibles into building plans.
We took no blame for the lives we lost
Because we did it all in the name of God.”
Seems relevant today.
