I just quit #WeightWatchers after (gulp) 20+ years. Feeling some FOMO & regret about leaving 42k followers, for whom I've hosted an online book club for years... but I just can't give another dollar to the weight loss industrial complex while more important issues require my time & attention.

In times of chaos, you've gotta unplug and spend a few hours doing something utterly analog. I do, at least.

Today, I started a blue oyster #mushroom crate in our tiny #Chicago yard. By the end of the summer, we'll (hopefully) have mycelium among the #NativePlants ...

Our "card carrying" @indivisible.org #Chicago group across the river from TT, facing the #NoKings marchers in the street... Wild to hear thousands of people chanting "Shame!" and "Boooo" as they passed us. (And plenty of middle fingers flying 🤣)

Ooh, yeah. Been there.

This is a Steak Salad. It was in the "Salads" section of the menu.

I ordered it because it was the only thing on the menu that did NOT include fries.

Silly me, not asking for clarification about whether a salad included greens. ❤️

Jon Snow (who Knows Nothing) has decided that this cast-iron floor grate is a cozy nap spot.

Granted, the furnace is directly below him, and it's very chilly in Chicago today... This can't be comfortable, right?
