This is so beautiful! We were rafting near Asheville in Aug and our local guide suggested a few falls to go to - we got the impression that in this part of the country they’re pretty much all for skinny dipping. 😅 (note: my man only dipping toes)

Health insurance is the ONLY reason I’m neither homeless nor paralyzed: In Sept I went to the ortho for neck pain. -> MRI -> End of Oct I had urgent neck surgery to reshape the vertebrae pressing on my spinal cord. I am so blessed! (And I shouldn’t need to feel blessed to have health insurance. 🤬)

‘Undone’ implies that there were two in that tango, like, say a pair of shoelaces, or like when a splat toy falls off the window on the dirty floor. Only Trump has always been that scuzzy hand and you now are only just seeing that he wouldn’t stick.

Green heron, fishing in the algae. Those feet morphed effortlessly from claws to webs and back again. He was also really tiny for a heron?

In an elegant sidestep, Turner avoids having to go on record about how awful ALL the “leadership’s” ideas have been this entire year. (Also just gonna post this again bc numbers might still mean something)

I think it’s really important to emphasize just what a terrible idea such a mortgage would be in real terms. Here’s for $350,000 at 6%
So yeah your house payment is $250 cheaper a month BUT your loan will end up costing you more than A MILLION DOLLARS.

The same thought: Poor Wee Mike, is really not temperamentally suited to being the meat shield for the likes of Trump. He seems to get redder and more agitated as the shutdown goes on. Like a baby mandrake.

Some paint and construction paper, an old scrub brush or a whole lotta toothpicks. I don’t eat squash but I assume that, less interestingly, you could - cook it? 🤷♀️

It still feels like there could be a stack of pre-filled forms somewhere, and the congressperson can just fill in offense and date and drop it off in Roz’ inbox. (In my mind it’s the slug lady in Monster’s Inc. ) even counting for duplicates we’d be up to several a week by now.

TBF, the concept of “heart age” seems legit enough, as a way to help people understand their risk of heart diseases. But TBH this particular roundup of contributing factors says right enough that it’s a lie. Maybe 14 years OLDER was the edit. 🧐

I would LOVE to have seen that! We have let our older cat go out supervised for a couple years, so I think kitten jealousy worked in our favor some in getting the harnesses on. Daily outside time lasts about 30 mins before they start testing the boundaries of how far they can get.
