I've decided to move to Antarctica so I no longer have fridges and freezers wreaking havoc on my life

I got too into my book and accidentally missed Pechakucha
Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Eggs recalled due to salmonella. Blueberries due to E. coli. Popsicles that might contain glass. Bread that might have nails in it. 30,000 pounds of beef because Trump’s USDA failed to inspect it. I guess one way to bring down Americans’ grocery bills is to leave us with nothing safe to buy.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 21h agoAn emergency recall has been issued for 30,000 pounds of beef recently imported by the Trump administration.
I do this fun thing where I drink coffee just a lil too late in the day, get real sleepy, fall asleep on the couch, am fully wide-eyed and bushy-tailed by the time I finish walking upstairs
I watched someone excitedly buy every single Garden Egg (African Eggplant) that my SCLT farmer brought today and it was just an absolutely beautiful transaction to witness. This farmer was beaming with pride at how well they did today at our cute lil market.
Also, specifically: the meat tested positive for high levels of an antibiotic that is banned for use on food producing animals in most countries, including Argentina. They're selling us beef they can't sell to their own people. This antibiotic is known for causing side effects like anemia.
If you can't afford to shop local farms for ground beef, Costco is the next best thing (NGL it's not bad. I'll willingly eat it and I'm a snob)
Patrick Crowley is bragging on LinkedIn about his contribution to the decision about the RIPTA hub. Should I cyberbully him? Maybe we should all log into LinkedIn and cyberbully him?
Amazon started as a company that sold books; now it's a company that destroys them. 🖕

My least favorite political argument is when people say they'd rather have the devil they know than the devil they don't. With McKee, we know it'll suck. With Foulkes, best case scenario: we have a great governor and RI prospers. Worst case scenario, we get the same level of suck.
I have so many thoughts but the biggest one is that we really do need to invest & better support processing facilities. And think of the job growth!

Raccoons get vaccine ravioli but we still have to get out vaccines with needles. How is this fair?
Special shout out to the Little Bubblegum Romance Bookshop for the tissue paper + ribbon (This bouquet features flowers from Humble Hands Farm, an awesome certified organic farm that vends at the Sat farmers market at La Salette in Attleboro)

The dilemma of I feel like I should finish this cookie because I spent $4 on it but it's also a waste of calories
I met a married couple both named Lisa Marie at the farmers market and it's just the most beautiful thing. Sadly, they kept their maiden names to avoid confusion
I'm not a resident of Providence proper any more so I won't be voting in this election, but the overwhelming impression ive gotten is that David loves this city as a place people love, for all its mess and rough edges, and Brett loves the idea of this city as a business pitch, as landscaping.
I traded tomatoes for art and honestly I feel like we need more bartering in this world
Despite living in RI for a decade and despite the fact that I used to live around the corner from there, I finally tried Garden Grille! 10/10
We officially have enough commitments to get our tomato hoard down to a reasonable amount but some of our farms are still heavy on tomatoes so anyone who does want bulk tomatoes can still feel free to hit us up
"Common sense" is a term that seems to be used exclusively in the campaigns of people who have none
I have recalled the groceries that are in your pantry and which you were probably planning to eat forgive me they’re full of salmonella and maybe broken glass
Casual things I ask my farmer / dildo dealer. He already sells hand-carved artisan butt plugs so it doesn't feel like too much of a stretch (pun unintended)
I'm trading tomatoes for art and I'm so excited
Basically: if you or someone you know lives in RI and needs organic heirloom tomatoes, hit me up. $4.99/lb but buy enough and I'll sell them to you at cost
