Photo by me of the novel Trad Wife; cover art is a photo negative image in red/black/white of a pregnant woman in a flower dress, holding her hands above and below her round belly; a larger hand, all in black shadow, with thin, spindly fingers and sharp nails also holds her round belly; text at the bottom includes the authorβs name: Saratoga Schaefer, βAuthor of Serial Killer Support Group.β Text at the top: βSurprisingly tenderβ and stunningly stomach-turning.β β βClay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes.β
Just finished this gift of a horror novel⦠funny, heart-wrenching, gory! I loved it.
Thank you @saratogaishere.bsky.social !
I have similar family stories⦠also in Nebraska. Their hardship is present in every single family photo.
This is true and yet drastically and suddenly raising gas prices just fucks over the poorest and most price sensitive people. People can't downshift this quickly.
SMDH
I just cannot with this anymore. The levels of stupidity are too much.
Nearly 6 hours since a GOP congressman said βMuslims donβt belong in American society,β not a single member of Republican leadership in the House will weigh in.
Spot on.
Suffering through something instead of delighting in things you enjoy does not make you a better person.
What a miserable wretch he is.
A few years back, my gr. 3-4 students were studying ocean conservation, & they loved learning about Dr. Sylvia Earle.
We were on a Skype with Scientists and Philippe Cousteau Jr., and she was either on live with us or a recorded version⦠students were in awe of her.

Beautiful morning here in Colorado⦠got up early to watch the Paralympics and take in the sunrise.
This latest war is breaking my heart. The children... the children!
There is no moral or ethical argument that we can make to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe except asking the rest of humanity for mercy. Which collectively, as a nation, we truly don't deserve.
My assumption as well
Heβs the same person who had a hand in Inside Out. π€
Iβm having trouble reconciling his stance on Elio, but also maybe why he wasnβt involved in Inside Out 2 (which I lovedβ¦ had me crying in the theater).
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Iβm not an influencer, but I very much enjoyed I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend For $200.
Also, did you know that if you take really cool looking books with you to doctor appointments, people will ask you about the book and how to buy it?
Huh. I guess I am an influencer.

I had a lot of leftover black beans and refried beans, so I made some easy nachos.

Got to give it to the Seattle Opera...
Anderson Cooper: βSo it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?β
Answer: βYes, weβre paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.β #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth

I know itβs a minor thing with all the daily horrors, but maybe if more people spoke up about and against shitty quality, we could turn some things around. π€·ββοΈ
My husband watches all those The Food That Built America episodes. I remember the episode about Reeseβs, and they made a point to share that Reese was all about the quality of the ingredients.
Glad the grandson is speaking up.
A lot of you are very much hurting my feelings by posting images of movies that came out the year you were born⦠which I very much remember seeing in theaters.
Photo by me of snow covered ground and scrub oak trees. There are three deer (somewhat obscured by trees and branches) rooting around for some food.

Temps in February here were mostly in the mid 50s and 60s F, and we got less than .01 inches of snow in the whole month. In Colorado.
Today, we had about 10 inches of snow! Hooray! It looked like a snow globe for most of the day. βοΈ β€οΈ
(p.s. there are 3 deer in this photo.)

thoughts on stephen millerβs rant about βhuman rightsβ youtu.be/3RJ_TWtFcMk?...
kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
I have performed at Carnegie Hall.
To the crews of those tankers: good luck with the sea mines and drones, but donβt worry. If youβre attacked, your boss is insured.

Alan Cumming deserves all the flowers.
Perfectly cast show. I will be stomping around and breaking things if they donβt give it a second season.
