Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

A retired nurse helped me take off a very cute but hard to remove jump suit that didn't fit in the bust. I had two (2) frozen shoulders and no (0) range of motion needed to slide my arms out without an assist. Thank you lovely shopper in Duluth Trading. I was about to burst into tears.

Anyway, I know it’s hot and the air is smoky but that doesn’t stop you from going to therapy.

My Boss Aunt did say "my friends and I are too old to know for sure we can get out of an escalating situation safely so now I do [list of insanely impressive, generous things] instead" and yeah. Aunties are the best.

There is so much great research and activism and communication about disability and liberatory activism. The revolution is for everyone. In that context I want to say, being able to penguin shuffle safely on the ice is a good goal to have when DHS is around in Minnesota in January.

I’m not a doctor. I know nothing. Also? Most of the other problems are because of your feet. Your neck hurt? Your feet. Your hip hikes? It’s your feet. Your shoulder pulls? Your feet. Your jaw pops. Yep, it’s your feet. Maybe. Allegedly.

All I'm saying in yoga that focuses on my fascia (connective tissue), insisting on a cortisone shot reset in my heel, ice, inserts and stretching made life bearable. Stretch and strength in prevention is so much better than all that rigamarole in recovery desperation.

If you are 38 years old or older, I want you to start working on your foot strength and ankle mobility. Unless I hate you. Then I want you to rest for ten years and then suddenly try to hop off a step one day, cold.

Hey y'all, I hate to ask when EVERYBODY is on the struggle bus, but we have a family here at the campground whose dad was snatched by ICE at the local airport the other day. We're covering & extending their stay, but they need more help. Venmo @Caz-A paypal.me/ccabb Kenny tax:

New York deserves a rebel pigeon. Or rebel urban high rise hawk. ICE agents could have come for a ball game and stayed for a poetry slam but instead they get this. I hope these neighbors ruin Bushwick for DHS employees forever.

Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

Yikes. I log off the socials for a little bit ONE TUESDAY in July, a boring month usually, and I come back to @naomikritzer.bsky.social asking what happens if the STP mayor resigns and then do a modicum of reading and srsly can we learn to vet our candidates like we mean it please? My goodness!

it's also a favor TO THE LIBRARY! library admins, boards, and municipalities listen to THE PUBLIC far more than to their staff! help us help you!!

If you can go out of the way to support Oxendale's please do so. Having small/medium local groceries is critical to walkable food access. Other places like Kowalskis are very expensive and have closed some stores after unionizing efforts succeeded. Oxendale's is critical in our community.
