Flung like $75 of wildflower seed on the yard today. Always feels like a stupid and wild leap of faith.

As someone who is hopelessly addicted to Spotify, I am appreciative of the mass fuckup/outage because it is making me try new things. Thanks, dummies!

My #SuperlativeCannedGoo tweet from the old place is making rounds again. Support co-op cranberry growers!
a screen grab of a tweet about ocean spray cranberry jelly: **Buy my BOO-k** Emily J. Edwards…. 1d i should take a moment to remind you that Ocean Spray is actually a cranberry growers collective and by supporting the superlative "goo in a can" name-brand cranberry sauce, you're supporting workers and small farmers oatmeal influencer **Buy my BOO-k** Emily J.

Steinbeck discussed this almost a century ago.
“The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth. There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.” - John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

Someone in the library is eating bacon and the entire library smells like bacon.

I’m currently in Spain (calm down). I had forgotten what it’s like to be surrounded by short brunettes (of all ages and genders). I fit in like a spoon in a drawer. Mi gente!

Bluesky letting the fascists in feels like when Facebook opened the floodgates to the public. It’s assuring its eventual demise.

Controversial, I guess, but I find Jeff Foxworthy hilarious as the new host of #RadioRental. I'm excited for new episodes. Can't wait to hear what he has to say about Virgos.

Complete waste to have an AI actress who just looks like a regular human. We already have those. She should have a hand growing out of her face or something

Very old man (librarian) who called the reference desk, to me: Are you old or young? . . . Nevermind. You're on the reference desk on a Friday afternoon. I know where you are on the totem pole.

Still awaiting discharge from the burn unit.

Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell from In Bruges. Farrell is on his knees, Gleason is pointing a gun at the back of his head, Farrell has a gun to his own temple. In the meme Gleeson, Farrell are both labeled America and the guns are both labeled Americans
