Ice Cream in the Woods WILL return somehow, someday. Maybe on a narrowboat? ;)

A while ago, I bought samples of the English and of the Irish breakfast teas from #MemTea and I tried blending them… And I realized that I’d just made Northern Irish breakfast tea.

I’m reading the latest from @tkingfisher.com, Snake-Eater, and I’m not sure I can forgive the description of the radio Selina digs out: “a small black AM/FM number that probably dated from the Obama administration”

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

For non-Jews/non-NYers: It's crucial to understand that Jews in NYC have always been treated as a uniform political bloc, and Jews who oppose Israel's policy toward Palestinians have always been treated as marginal/dismissable. A public breaking-off of 1/3 of NY Jews from that history is monumental.
This is a stunning political realignment--Mamdani lost Jews, Catholics, and Protestants but won by sweeping "Other" and "None."
As a Jewish voter in the 33% I hope my neighbors (literally) in the 63%, who were flooded with dishonest mailers, social media, and texts, will now keep an open mind.

We've been keeping track of all of the atrocities Trump has committed since he took office in January. To be clear, this is not humor or satire, but maybe sometime in the future, our relatives will see this, shake their heads, and think, "What a hilarious shitshow of a timeline."

Fenway Health cutting off access to medical treatment for trans youth is shameful and unnecessary. There is no need for this.

Ten years ago, the UK was number 1 in Europe for LGBTI equality, it is now 22nd in Europe.
It’s dropped to its lowest ever level under this Labour government.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

I have taken to calling the spike in side effects around my semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) doses “glutidings.” It doesn’t make them go away, but it does make me giggle.

Also: when a government acts brutally and lawlessly and immorally, but tells you that pointing those things out incites violence and terrorism, that government and its agents are entitled to no respect or credence.
If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

The Press decided Biden was senile when he mixed up the similar sounding names of the Mexican President & the Egyptian President. Trump saying that 90% of Americans died last year is fine though.

It’s that season again where I’m getting all the Facebook memories of my 2018 trip of five weeks on a #narrowboat and seven years out, there are still very few days when I don’t think about how to get back there.
