Good news: the cranberry orange coffee cake turned out. Bad news: I still have a cup of cranberry sauce left. Now I have to either bake more stuff or figure out another use.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

So, if you get to be president you can rename whatever you want and disregard the law? Isn’t that nice?!

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

I just want to note how deeply scary it is that we're learning about murdered survivors only because of a Washington Post article. Congress has been asleep at the wheel.

Am attempting candied orange slices today out of some blood oranges.

I’ve never made them before, so should be interesting. Managed to use the mandoline without cutting myself this time, so yay!

(And yes, I had to check which spelling was the correct one)

The thing about Rand Paul I’m ok with is he literally does not care what anyone thinks of his policies

The thing I don’t like about Rand Paul are most of his policies

It's so sickening to see the "Hitler makes racially charged comments about Jews" type of statements from the so-called media.

This is evil, inhuman, disgusting racism and if you're OK with it, you're a piece of shit, a moron, and an awful person who should be shunned decent society.

Trump goes on another racist rant about Somalis: "Ilhan Omar should be thrown the hell out of our country, and most of those people -- they have destroyed Minnesota. It's a hellhole right now. Those Somalians should be out of here. They have destroyed out country ... go back to your own country."

"Branding individuals as 'narco-terrorists' without proof just to open the door to lethal force is not a legitimate policy,it’s a dangerous fantasy. It bypasses due process, shreds constitutional limits, and pushes America toward another unnecessary foreign war."
