Do you wish more books had middle-aged witches, sapphic romances, and nonbinary POV characters?

Craving a fantasy world with too many horses, very clever dogs, and a moustachioed unicorn?

Took the youngest to see wolves and she insisted on taking photos of animal butts. The zebra is her masterpiece (according to her).

A bit late but we did make hamentashen last Friday for Purim! The chocolate pecan pie ones were my favorite, but the kiddos preferred the raspberry rhubarb ones
On the left side of a butcher block countertop sits a blue and white china plate piled with triangular shortbread type cookies. To the right, baking tray of more triangle cookies, these bleeding raspberry rhubarb jam from their centers.

More Hobbitcore:

Admiring my pink heather blooms while I eat the caramelized carrot and fennel Tarte tartin I whipped up for lunch 🌱🍪💙
Caramelized carrot and fennel Tarte tartin with fresh goat cheese and thyme. Carrots, halved lengthwise and not looking particularly caramelized, lay across a bed of actually caramelized fennel bulb slices. It's a rectangular Tarte, with a puff pastry base, on a piece of baking paper. Two small bushy plants covered in tiny pink and purple flowers sit centered in a garden bed. Front left you can see a bright yellow crab sand toy, and halfway up on the right is the bright green of a hyacinth peeking through the soil

Spring is springing 🌱

Our crocus lawn astounds me every year. 🌱 I worried that having kids and dogs would kill them off, but if anything they seem denser after three years of abuse!

The mystery discount bulb has bloomed, and it's the most beautiful Amarillus I've ever seen.

Also enjoying all the orchids, but wish they would space out their reblooms! 🌱

People assume they’ll be the exception. That disability, poverty, homelessness won’t befall them

That if something “bad” happens, they will be able to “try harder” their way out of it.

This false belief allows them to blame the ones who are suffering, instead of the oppressive systems that trap us

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...
Flashing lights, large screens ablaze with animated graphics reminiscent of the oughties. The CPAC logo spins around as generic rap-rock blasts across the crowd. Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the DOGE update. Please welcome Newsmax host, Rob Schmitt. Schmitt: Man. That is a big crowd. And they are not here for me. Crowd cheers. Schmitt: How you guys doing? Nice vibe this month, right? After the best month we’ve ever had. Nice to see you. Thanks for coming out. It’s good to see you. Let’s not kill any more time, let’s bring out Elon Musk. Crowd goes wild. Elon Musk enters stage, pumping both fists high in the air, walking slightly unsteadily. He is wearing a black MAGA baseball cap and sunglasses that look like they were bought in a gas station in 1989. He continues to pump his fists as he makes his way in front of the beige arm chairs at the front of the stage. Rob Schmitt attempts to get his attention, but he turns and waves at the crowd. Schmitt: We’ve got one more surprise, in case this wasn’t enough. Musk: Well, President, uh, President Milei has a gift for me. Schmitt: [hamming at camera] Javier Milei from Argentina, you guys know who that is, right? Milei, a friendly-looking figure who resembles Bilbo Baggins right before he Smeagolifies, enters the stage carrying a chainsaw. He presents the chainsaw to the billionaire, who then waves it around unsteadily. Musk: This… is… the chainsaw for bureaucracy. [pumps the chainsaw in the air] CHAINSAAAW! He takes a beat to examine the chainsaw. He is still wearing his sunglasses. He turns around and starts wandering to the other side of the stage, waving the chainsaw around. Musk: Uwaaauwaargh! Milei lurks awkwardly in the background, trying to wave goodbye to Musk, before Schmitt takes notice. Schmitt: Mr. President, thank you so much. Nice to meet you. I love it. We love it. Musk’s attention snaps to Milei. The two men shake hands with the Argentinian president, who then departs.

What a beautiful day for a walk in the woods
A snow-covered trail winds through mixed forest. The hazel bushes are tinted yellow with their early spring blooms.

People who have seen these diseases don't hesitate to vaccinate.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

Round 2 of funfetti cake: Better flavor, sprinkles didn't bleed, but the cake was very dense. Next time, I'll beat the egg whites separately and fold them in, see if that helps lighten it up. #cake #baking #funfetti
Slice of cake on a light blue plate. Cake is funfetti, so white cake with pops of yellow, pink, and blue from sprinkles in the batter.

Good morning from snowy Steiermark
