I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Just want to shout out the anonymous bystander on the subway tonight who very quietly but forcefully intervened to stop a bad situation from getting worse! Love NY always.

Thanks for this reminder. Have been reminded of my favorite of them all, Going Postal, during the events of the last 14 months. Good government services matter.

I should have figured that was chia seeds. Your combo of toppings sounds amazing.

I'm sure a lot of people saw this when it happened in Feb 2025, but I'm also sure a lot didn't so I'm reboosting in case your vet hasn't moved it on.

Another microchip service is 24PetWatch, which was the recommendation from my vet in both Oregon and New York.

Baby Girl waited in the shelter where I walk dogs for 450+ days. Everyone loved, but she was at least 10yrs old. Although 3 dogs is my limit, I finally said, 'C"Mon Baby Girl. Let's go home*. Two years later, she's living the life of love and comfort.

I just read about Jody Potts-Joseph, who is the first Hän Gwich'in musher to start the Iditarod, this morning: www.alaskasnewssource.com/2026/03/12/t...

Good morning! Any other meal preppers up and at ‘em? Up first for me: overnight oats topped with fried pears, carmelized walnuts and cinnamon ✨✨

Oooh! Looks yum! What’s in with the oats, if you don’t mind?

Black bird with white wing markings high about desert cliffs

It took 800 miles of driving over two days, but we finally found California condors in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument this afternoon. They were about five miles off, soaring high above the cliffs, so I don't have photographs beyond proof-of-sighting, but I'm still high on the sighting.

I got laid off from my day job this week so if you know anyone who is looking for a cool and awesome senior full-stack software engineer/team lead with tons of experience who also writes comics and has no trace of poster’s madness, let me know! Please!

Got job search advice? Hit me!

This stone stopped me in my tracks. For a moment I thought I had discovered rock art, but up close the patterns were clearly natural. With my very limited geology knowledge, my best guess is a Liesegang ring. I’d love to take it home, but it weighs more than my backpack!

I feel like the Covid-19 pandemic, economic turmoil due to unnecessary global tariffs, and now multiple military conflicts started by the US—all happening within six years—is going to result in even more people experiencing depression and anxiety

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

This morning, I awakened early to sit and then suddenly, anguish arose in me. Others must feel the same. The Mideast is literally on fire. So much loss of life... the children, the elders... then there is the terrible loss of any sense of safety and the loss of trust.

Also ships might operate 24x7 at sea and we might serve four meals per day as a result. Even the Patrick O’Bryan novels talk about this.

As a former food service officer on a US Naval vessel, I can tell you that our cycle menus included some fancier menu items for holidays. The actual food budget per sailor can be higher as a morale booster on deployment and steak and lobster might be served for holidays while deployed.

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.

Take the damn money and leave me alone.

So funny. I just found some of my tweeps, and now BlueSky is …making me glad I’m still on Mastodon more than here?
