Hi! I’m looking for 1 or 2 tickets for the Bingo Loco event at the Treefort Hall on Feb 7. Anyone out there with extras?

I'm never going to forgive 10 Barrel for skipping the annual Pray for Snow party this year.

👏👏👏

Next week, the City of Boise is spotlighting women shaping arts and culture in our region with its Living Legacies & Changemakers event. (Including a familiar face!)

There will be wine, books, a panel discussion, and celebration of the impact of women!

Tickets: www.eventbrite.com/e/living-leg...

Kitty colds are real. These help a lot when my cats get them: www.amazon.com/VetriScience...

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Even better: 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck about 0.01 miles SE of the Yankee Fork dredge pit.

Boise, Idaho, earthquake confirmed this morning, for those of you questioning your reality!

Good question, I mostly see Canadian potatoes in Boise stores! The potato commission folks were just giving these away today.

Some days I push back against those sweeping potato-based assumptions about Idaho, and some days I just smile and take my share of the russets being handed out at the state capitol.

I would never be that sloppy. It’s your sign that I’ll screenshot friends’ insta stories to cross-post on 🦋!

Right! My foothills window is getting shorter and shorter! (Also the new stone steps at Camels Back are basically just a snake warming station.)

I try not to ruminate in the existential dread of climate change, but is NO SNAKES IN JANUARY really too much to ask for?!

Ok, I’m not usually a government conspiracist, but if THAT’S the Famous Idaho Potato, then who the hell is THAT?? #stuntdouble

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

That thing got me through my broken foot recovery! Best of all - free hands!

The forest service Christmas tree permit is still just about the best $10 you can spend.
