I specifically decided not to follow political accounts here, and I'm sticking to that. Screenshotting TFG and posting it here is going to force me to unfollow, if not block.

#Tarot card for the day: Nine of Swords. Loss, but of an idea or opinion. There's no way to square the truth with what you wish it was. Be brave, face the situation honestly. You can't make it be something it's not. #TarotReader #TarotSky 📷 from The Magickal Tarot

Moby-Dick was published on this day in 1851. Tucked into it is Melville's abiding wisdom on the value of being uncomfortable www.themarginalian.org/2020/04/13/h...
The Value of Being Uncomfortable: Herman Melville on Privation as a Portal to Appreciation and Aliveness
“To enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself.”

Just in case anyone thought she was smart 🙄
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian apparently thinks the 1969 moon landing was fake. If Feedback comes up with an equally outlandish conspiracy theory, maybe we can also get a guided tour of NASA
Kim Kardashian has wrangled an invite to NASA HQ. Can we get one too?

“When someone has a tick bite, we just ask them to be mindful about stomach upset or itching or hives that might occur three to six hours after eating either red meat or maybe some high-fat dairy like ice cream or milkshakes,” Commins said.”
Wow, it looks like we have our first death related to alpha-gal syndrome
First death reported from meat allergy caused by tick bite

Yup. Agree with all this. I don't gift crochet items. I've given a couple of people mug cozies, years ago gave someone a very unique scarf (I actually want to make one for myself, I'll put up a pic shortly), a couple of baby blankets, but nothing else really.

Bought another heated house for the cats for outside so 3 of them will have their own (Brownie & Max never go in them). But the heated pad cover that came with it is too short, and the pad itself seems about 2" too long to fit right. I guess that's what I get for trying the discount version.
