Great post from someone who really knows about water treatment. I have a very old background in pool construction and maintenance, but this analysis goes way beyond that. Still, the hydrogen peroxide they tried to use to kill the algae bloom is a known paint-stripper in high concentrations.

I don't usually post my work here, but this is urgent. My friend Nathan & I are offering a powerful healing event via Zoom... as a benefit for two young Cuban men struggling in their lives in the US, + their families back home (some members with serious medical issues). ucbk.org/healing-fund...

Well, that was fun today. Went to the doctor for my 6mo checkup. First remark, "Good lord you've been working out a lot." (Bulgy thighs, biceps, and shoulders will do that.) Blood labs are fine. BP & resting heart rate are excellent. 2nd statement, "Keep this up, you're gonna live forever."

From personal experience, this need to constantly double-check everything now, whether delivered by a search engine or a well-meaning human who didn't know they were offering up a fictional hallucination generated by quasi-AI is a HUGE productivity hit. Kat is 100% right.

Semi-invented recipes brag: Heard roughly about this, then set about just doing by trial-and-success (no failure): Cheddar broc egg-white muffins. Very high protein each. Made 'em last night, had to try one as the photo shows.

So there's the story going around where some political dude has a n@zi past, and the claim from him and his defenders is that all men go through a n@zi phase sometime in their lives. (1) I'm positive that's not true (2) If it was true, it would be a solid argument not to let men run anything

Thread. I share her fury. TL;DR: It's an indictment of the fact that unless a woman or girl does EVERYTHING to avoid being assaulted, she is accused of being culpable. As if the baseline expectation is that men cannot be expected nor presumed to be able to control themselves.

I'm not sure what infuriates me more, the rape itself, the fact Ms. Drewes had to go fully public, or that there will still be many who call her a liar. I know from direct experience what sudden total incapacitation after just 1 drink feels like. It's terrifying. This is NOT consent.

This is the problem with many of the reactions I've seen around here: The public presumption this is totally new and out of the blue. "They (the rumors) had been circulating for a long time." People were WARNING each other about him. His (alleged) victims weren't lucky enough to know.

Shameless fitness brag: I had a new all-wood canopy bedframe delivered today, they left it just outside my garage. Two boxes, with the flat one weighing 97 lbs, the longer one at 79 lbs, marked with prominent red 'Team Lift' stickers and both are really awkward shapes.

I have had a great day in one of the best f*cking weeks I can remember, and I don't care who knows it or cares. (I'm enjoying a late coffee and some ice cream somebody left behind in this fab Airbnb where I'm staying at the moment. Life is awesome.) I'm posting this only because I felt like it.

I've long felt that 'Wayne' as a middle name is a cursed name (e.g. 'John Wayne Gacy'). That McMullin doesn't even take a breath or pause between 'Mark' and the rest of it? Not a good sign. Should we be asking about his browser history and the crawlspaces under his home?

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
Supposedly no context is to be provided, but I always do alt text, so this is a photo of a Pacific Ocean beach near the town of Davenport, CA.

This is how you do it. If after viewing it, ya wanted a language warning? We're way beyond that point. And what she's saying is something I wish more Dem politicians had the guts to say and mean.

Good 🧵 from Kat. And she's right: This is the embodiment of the privilege of the rich and powerful that results in their victims of SA (especially the very young) being told, "No one will believe you and we will ruin your life if you try."

And the snowstorm-ageddon that's supposed to hit most of the country has begun out here in central NM, to be expected. I'd post a photo, but there's not much to show except some initial snow squalls.

Really good thread 🧵, and one that gives me hope. People ARE resisting this nightmare—and it's not just Dems and independents. There are even Republican voters who've had enough of this fascist bullsh*t.

World is too frickin' nuts lately...I'm gonna go for a long walk, again. Meantime here's a photo of a combination sun-dog and fire cloud that I took two days ago. Other than cropping, it's exactly as was taken at the time, no filters. Gotta find sustenance wherever we can.

I love this so effin' much. Absolutely brilliant piece of writing, with the repeated 'remember' exhortation both pulling it all together, almost a call-and-response, and explicitly engaging the reader or listener. The closing—"Remember this: Try"—still sends shivers down my spine.

Some days, I'm doing and feel okay and fine, generally contented even. Other days can feel like I'm holding myself together with duct tape, patch kits, random lengths of wire, and force of will. Or somewhere in between.

Among my strongest motives for surviving as a relatively recent widow is the list* I have of those I want to outlive and probably can. * = Obviously does not and never did include my spouse, who had the same wish, but didn't make it, so I'll do it for us both.

You're looking here at a man who views violence (both domestic and not) against women for being "smug" and "uppity" and "disrespectful" and "disobedient" as entirely justified—up to and including being shot to death in the face. Makes me want to throw up. I thought we were beyond this.

I'm sure it happens elsewhere, but New Mexico has this speciality where one day you can have a winter storm warning with reports of up to 6-12" above 7500ft*, and a severe thunderstorm warning the very next day. * = I lucked out, just a few inches overnight, now gone due to today's rain.

I love that last term: "Memetic fascism." So perfect, and aligns with my personal theory that via online interactions and social media, malignant ideas and false beliefs have become dangerously virulent.

This is why most regular consumer automatic bread and rice makers do not cook right where I currently live, also 'slow cookers' will boil their contents. Low air pressure = water boils at 198F/92C here. I've had to find workarounds and adaptations.

For what it's worth, on the other side of the aisle so to speak, I almost never say no to this request unless (1) the person has been creepy/skeevy (I trust my instincts) or (2) I believe they'll confuse open friendliness for interest (a common encounter problem for many women).

Sorry I seem out-of-sorts, because there's no 'seems' about it right now. Despite a number of positive events in my recent life, I'm still dealing with the grief of losing a spouse with whom I'd been together over 28 years (married about 18mo less than that).
