Important status update: went to get flu and COVID vaccines with the 14-year-old and 12-year-old, walked away with six CVS incentive coupons to spend even more money there than I already do

I didn’t plant a cherry tomato plant this year. Yet, likely thanks to a squirrel friend, there’s one erupting out of my lawn near the fence with a neighbor who planted some in containers.

Monday’s harvest is on the left, and my harvest from five minutes ago is on the right. 🌱 #gardening #GardenSky

There is my plated lunch. A grain, a green, a bean. With a little cheddar jack cheese sprinkled on top. #BeanSky #HeirloomBeans

I cooked for 2 ½ hours this afternoon. Fried plantains like my Ghanaian mom makes, kale sautéed in bacon grease with gochugang and other spices, quinoa with garlic and lots of lime juice, and a mix of two Rancho Gordo beans added to a well-spiced base with more gochugang. #BeanSky #HeirloomBeans

Look who is featured on the high school girls flag football Instagram! www.instagram.com/p/DLm61eyuFMK/

Yes, that's my older child with the long legs and the auburn hair and the strong arm muscles carrying the ball forward.

If you see a screenshot of Homan speaking out against Taco Bell menu items, it’s probably a fake.

Source: I took one for the team and looked at a Fox News interview with Homan. Whoever made the Taco Bell screenshot didn’t get the Fox News chryon correct.

Gotta pay attention to the details!

I wore a hoodie with a graphic made by @zezvaz.bsky.social to my (Protestant, non-evangelical, liberal/progressive, multiracial but white majority) church this morning.

Most of the folks who saw it nodded and said “Yep.” Especially the ones whose voices are still hoarse from protesting yesterday.

Cook County, rise up

Reposting the image of Amy Gleason’s declaration about DOGE with alt text. Links to the documents are in the quoted post.

Also: I want to see her SF-50s and the official dates of her personnel actions. 🕵🏾‍♀️

This is what being 43 looks like.
Successful, thriving, staying healthy, and hard at work on improvements for the future.

Happy birthday to me! 🥳

My first time at an 8th grade girls' basketball game since 1994. This time, I'm not on the court.

N95 in place, of course.

Time for tea for the human family members. The youngest human will use their favorite mug on this #Caturday. (But to be honest, the kid uses this mug every day of the week that they have tea.)

We are serious in this house about our roles as cat servants.

Happy #Caturday! Piper the tortoiseshell tabby cat and Polly the black void kitty are having a relaxed start to the weekend. No need to get out of bed yet...

Took advantage of my autumn Ocrevus crap gap to schedule my 2023 COVID vaccine and flu vaccine.

Get your shots, y'all. Sincerely, your immunosuppressed friend.
