I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'll at LEAST do it with enthusiasm... Photos, food, heavy on the baking, gardening, nature..she/her I have a Ko-fi, if you'd like to follow, or donate, or whatever.... I'm still figuring it out https://ko-fi.com/marie929

“I am happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you as a friend. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think about how fine everything is.”

Today in sexism: 18 months after we specced a ‘heel safe grate’ so women can walk safely around the outside of a public facility in heels, the contractor admitted no one makes them to fit our extremely standard-sized drainhole.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Something I missed in this reporting... Brandon Herrera said in 2023: “Just because you let somebody creampie you doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn’t make you any less wrong about the dumb shit they say.” His response...

For @texasobserver.org, I did a deep dive into Brandon Herrera, a gunfluencer and now Republican congressional nominee who has spread memes associated the extremist Boogaloo movement and rationalized lethal violence against people with certain political beliefs. www.texasobserver.org/brandon-herr...

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Harvest to plate. 🧺 This morning’s haul filled the trug with potatoes, chard, tomatoes, peppers, chillies, cucumbers, raspberries and basil. Not bad for a few hours of digging, picking and trying not to eat the raspberries on the way home. #GreenHeart 💚

My hands hold a large garden trug overflowing with freshly harvested allotment kitchen-garden produce: earthy Carolus potatoes; bright green Swiss chard; red and yellow tomatoes, including Lady of the Night, Costoluto Genovese, Fiorentino, Paros Island Heritage and San Marzano Redorta, Red Star bell peppers and Friggitello sweet peppers, Ohnivec and Carolina Reaper chillies, crisp cucumbers, fragrant basil, and bright red Versailles and Himbo Top raspberries, alongside golden Fall Gold raspberries. Tall, feathery asparagus ferns fill the background.
