A few little reminders/suggestions: - Get all your papers in order, for all your family members. Birth certs, IDs, vax records, marriage certs, citizenship docs, etc. Get passports. - Check your voter registration. Is it active? Has your assigned location changed? Do you need to update anything? 🧵

At family funeral, Southern Baptist pastor reads list of close family members. The deceased's adult daughter has been in a same-sex relationship for over 30 yrs. At "[name] & her partner [name]", pastor hesitated briefly- unable to say "partner", said "friend" instead & moved on. Pissed me off.

Sigh. Attended a funeral on my Southern Baptist, Alabama roots side of the family. I still can't wrap my head around how actually intelligent, caring people can still be all-in for Trump and the GOP at this point. So nice to see these people, and yet SO uncomfortable at the same time.

This was a convo I had with a co worker: put progressives on the Dem ballots and Dems who vote blue no matter who will vote for them and the progressives will too. We don’t sit at home when we don’t like the candidate.

Bluesky question: with some folks I follow I can't comment on posts (option is grayed out). Others can reply. I understand it's a setting they've chosen because legit reasons, which is cool, but I'm curious what that is & how it works. I did a super brief search online but figured I'd ask here too.

Local elections office is prepping for November elections, asking past pollworkers if they'll be available & when. I've decided to clear my calendar (save a trip I can't cancel) & serve every day they need me. These attacks on GA elections have me pissed, & I'll do what I can to protect our rights.

I did a bit of very minor digging and Taylor Farms also sells under the brands Earthbound Farm and Eat Smart. In addition to Taco Bell they also supply to Chipotle, McDonald's, Olive Garden, and Red Lobster. Are these compromised? Who fucking knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ but better safe than sorry.

Props to consumer reports for their journalism here. Since Taylor foods and the FDA are not disclosing where all the lettuce went they’re doing a great job trying to figure out the details. For now they’re recommending everyone trash all their iceberg. www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

The recall notices posted by Taylor Farms and the FDA are notably sparse on the essential details consumers need to easily identify affected products. The recall notice does not list the full brand names of the implicated products, and instead lists only what appear to be the abbreviations used internally by Taylor Farms to identify brands. Walmart's Marketside house brand, for instance, was listed as "MKTSD" and Sysco, the U.S.'s largest food distributor, was listed as "SY." Both companies confirmed that their products were part of the recall after being contacted by Consumer Reports. CR is working to confirm the identities of the six additional brands whose names are abbreviated in the recall notice. Taylor Farms did not immediately respond to CR's questions about the identity of these brands. Given the lack of details, CR's food safety experts advise consumers in the 27 states where Taylor Farms' products were distributed to discard all iceberg lettuce out of an abundance of caution.

Whenever a politician posts about Trump's crimes without calling for impeachment, it's like a fireman showing up at your house, cracking open a beer, and saying, "Hey, did you know there's a giant fire on Main Street? Crazy."

Yesterday Billy & I happened to catch some of the US / BIH World Cup match, which was cool. I have melancholy feelings about the World Cup & USA 250th. This *could* all be so much FUN, & a much-needed unifying experience for Americans. . it should be a blast, but I just don't have the heart for it.

My aunt-in-law lives in Puerto Rico (in a 5th floor apartment). She felt Venezuela's earthquakes yesterday. That's something like 1,500 miles away. 😳
