It's a no-meat day so dinner was vegetarian tacos. Soymince, barley and kamut with tomatoes, onions, chillies, all the right spices, some of the wrong ones, thyme from the garden and a half teaspoon of Vegemite. That's a slow cooker recipe I'm holding on to.

Everytime a red pill guy starts trying for a 'gotcha' by asking for 'One female inventor', I'll be thinking of Trump admin literally scrubbing government websites of female/POC/WOC achievements. The practice goes as far back as Hatshepsut. These boys have always been fragile.

Being exactly That Kind of Pet Owner, I think I'll throw Duchess a tea party. Full Downton. Leader's already gone ahead and her littermates aren't getting any younger. Hope Duchess won't mind the lack of chocolate though. She stole a candy bar as a pup & has been craving it ever since.

Put the hounds in the library so they could chill in AC while I fixed dinner. Apparently the grill scents riled WP up enough that she stole my tin of chocolate covered biscuits, bit the lid off somehow and ate the whole tray. She's fine, I guess it was more biscuit than choc but 😨 what an evening.

Nothing wrong with frictionless, comforting escapism media where none of the bad stuff exists, if that's your jam or your need, but we all collectively really really REALLY have to get rid of the idea that media that deals with immoral subjects leave an immoral taint on all who engage with it.

I just put dinner in the oven and skedaddled out the door as spouse came in, leaving instructions on when to check and turn it off, so I can attend a neighborhood not-quite-HOA meeting. Good grief, the adulting. Still catches me by surprise now and then.

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.
