Actually more than half of us Americans are, like, bound & gagged & locked in the trunk of a clown car speeding towards a cliff. We are not okay and we need help. So, Canada, please keep standing up to the Crazy, alright?

I *said* on the *first night* of the Treasury takeover, those kids aren’t gonna know anything about COBOL. I’m old enough to have coded COBOL and knew there was NO WAY they’d know jack shit about it. Dammit, I hate being right about this but gimme my prophetic-soul bonus points! 🤯

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl” as the Nahuatl People originally called it, the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue associated with water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

This behavior during the Super Bowl bothered me. Was it appropriate for Trump to salute during the National Anthem?

I posted this to a garden thread, thought I'd share again here ... In winter I reuse food-safe carryout containers to grow microgreens on the kitchen counter for a steady supply of fresh greens. Photo is China Rose radishes Day 5 after planting the seeds, ready to harvest for salads & smoothies.

Love this new "Deviltry" #knitting pattern from Hunter Hammersen, who said "The urge to stab something persists. But so does the deep and abiding need to make cute things that bring me (and hopefully some of you) a little bit of joy when everything feels grim." #knitted #knitsky
