Moving in the middle of growing season definitely cut into my normal amount of produce but for planting on the fly, I got some goodies and learned what will work here. Excited for spring! #gardening

I’d say swapping the grass in our front yard for flowers was a good decision

Hey! Press covering Trump!

The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies.

He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.”

Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

EVERY SINGLE INSTITUTION SHOULD BE SENDING NSF EMAILS, FAXES, LETTERS, AND PHONE CALLS THAT BOIL DOWN TO: WTF IS THIS? WE'RE NOT COMPLYING.

They can't arrest EVERYONE if EVERYONE does this.

A good read for those mad/dismayed/furious but still unsure where and how to begin.

When other countries did this, we referred to it as "ethnic cleansing."
here's audio of Trump saying he wants to "clear out" Gaza and move Palestinians elsewhere

Real traditional onion soup the way the French make it at home has no fancy ingredients, no meat broth, no wine, no cognac. It’s simple and utterly delicious. Read my story to discover why. Read my recipe to discover how.
French onion soup, a dish traditionally eaten after a night of revelry as a nourishing restorative, is the perfect recipe to share with you for New Year’s Eve.

Still my most popular post, and what I’ll be making for tonight’s New Years Eve celebration 🥳

A whole icon damn
Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

Scored 6lbs of onions unexpectedly today. Gonna quick pickle some, caramelize some and dice and freeze some.

What would you do with 6lbs of free onions? 🧅

Quick question: if you cook a lot, is there anything you are stocking up on before the beginning of the year?

With so much changing next month, I’m trying to figure out what shelf stable things I don’t already grow that I should make sure is on hand.

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.

Because the shame has to switch sides.

Dear readers-I inadvertently introduced a coworker to @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social @hankgreen.bsky.social via my Pizzamas shirt and he asked for more information.

I nearly lost my mind 🤣
