Many thanks to Biscuit, who jumped over my keyboard, instead of walking on it, and landed right in my plate of food. Good job, little buddy.

Fight for your libraries. Don’t let them take away your library by defunding it out of providing vital services. Don’t let them shackle the library with rules meant to prevent the right people from getting the right book to change their life. Don’t let them close the doors, because you know they will never open again. Fight for the freedom to read and explore new ideas. Fight against censorship and denying people the materials their souls need. If a library closes, it will never open again. You couldn’t create libraries today. You want to loan out books? And people will just willingly give them back? Are you mad? Naïve, perhaps? Once a library closes its doors, it’s over. The book banners have won. Do not let them win. Fight for libraries. Fight for library workers. Fight for patrons. Fight for free people reading freely.

I deserve this Pittsburgh salad. Again. I deserve every Pittsburgh salad I have. I am worthy of French fries and too much dressing desecrating perfectly good greens.

Muffin decided to join me. Not to really cuddle with me or anything. Just hang out in the same room as me. It’s like parallel play for toddlers. But for people and cats.

I got a metric f—ton of ricotta with which to make matzo lasagna with but it just occurred to me that the jarred sauce I have is meat sauce. I’m gonna have to make sauce from scratch today, aren’t I? I suppose so, because I’ve dedicated myself to the idea 😂

I could kill a bowl of Cream of Wheat right now. Murder it. Maybe two.

@shekinahcancook deal. My husband was like why did you buy a box of Cream of Wheat? You have some in here and you can’t even eat it this week. I’m like, ahh yes. But this week will end. And all the cream of Wheat will be mine.

Got cash so I can vacuum out my car. It had better not be more than $20 to use the vacuum at the car wash. I haven’t done it in so long. What’s the going rate?

hauntedhideaway,
@hauntedhideaway@babka.social avatar

@shekinahcancook it was $1s and $5s only.

@hauntedhideaway@babka.social avatar

@shekinahcancook I had to go through the car wash first which I was planning on doing anyways so I’d have change from the 20 to so the vacuum 🙄

@shekinahcancook it all worked out.

It insane to me how often women are not given pain management for gynecological procedures, because many many years ago a male doctor who's never had a vagina, cervix, or uterus decided that there weren't enough nerve endings up there to hurt significantly. I think it's time to put this fallacy to bed. It most definitely does hurt, and people who have literally no experience with female equipment don't get to decide this for me. Trust me docs, you don't want to taste your own medicine on this.

@RickiTarr This. I have medical trauma from an IUD insertion. I've had pain from surgery that didn't leave me as effed up as the IUD.

I don't care that Doctor Who is starting over with a season 1 again. Comic books do this all the time--start with an issue 1 as a jumping on point for new readers with a new storyline and move on from there. If it makes it easier for new viewers and potential new fans, why not? Gatekeeping the fan experience is unbecoming. Providing access to new fans is sexy.

@JoscelynTransient 60+ years of history can be SUPER intimidating. If a "season 1" jump on point encourages new viewers, I'm here for it!

@shekinahcancook @Streetsweeper You've got to be kidding me. I remember when stuff just worked. What data is this app mining and how valuable is it, really? Betty used the bread setting four times this month.

@shekinahcancook @Streetsweeper Yes. I'm sure that's where it's going. Soon you won't be able to buy an appliance without smart tech so you'll be stuck.
