Lover of nature, science, literature, art, music and all things that lift people rather than trying to crush them under an oppressive boot. I post positive reminders, share the beautiful places I live and visit, and some of the art/textiles I am making.

The day after signing a contract with Paramount Global, they ended a fantastically brutal episode making fun of the orange man…. with this amazing AI of him with a tiny talking penis. Thank you South Park. I salute you. #southpark #politics

I 100% recognize where the reference is from. I 1000% think we need to stop saying things like this and start normalizing things like “the disgusting old men” instead of continuing to use misogynistic based language. Change the language, change the world.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Finished my “Yellowstone” hat from Knitting the National Parks by Nancy Bates. I used KnitPicks “Swish” I had in my stash instead of spending money on new yarn. #handknit #nationalparks #knitting #yellowstonenationalpark

That’s a good choice! There are so many good ones to choose from. Depending on my mood I bounce between “A View To A Kill” (the bass line is killer), Diamonds Are Forever” and “You Only Live Twice”.

Ok. The only diff I noticed crossing each direction last wkend was the lack of lines. Same basic questions. ProTip: have your passport out and ready. Take off your hat and sunglasses before you pull up and unroll your windows so they can see in. Answer the questions politely and don’t add anything.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

If someone mispronounces a word we should be cheering them on for having actually read it somewhere. It’s not their fault if they’ve never heard it out loud, or only ever heard it from other people who have only ever read it.

Awesome! Since you have zero interest, it would be silly to start again. And I don’t know how prolific of a drinker you were, but maybe if you tallied up how much money you saved and can spend on something else fun that might offer some encouragement to stay off of it too ha ha ha ha

I think all businesses should list the costs of tariffs. It’s only fair that people know what taxes they’re paying.

Am I the only one getting tired of everyone, giving T full credit for Carney’s win? The Canadians who voted for the good of the country deserve that credit. You don’t laud a natural disaster, you recognize the heroic actions of the people who fought it. #elbowsup #elbows-up

In Europe playstation is charging more for systems so they can charge less in the USA. Do European game players really want to subsidize Americans ? Maybe a Playstation European boycott is in order?!

I am also very tired of seeing the vulgarity, but who is going to decide what is offensive language? You know? It is a pretty slippery slope.

My second big recommendation is “An Unattractive Vampire” by Jim McDoniel. I use it as a palate cleanser between more serious work. An ancient vampire gets woken and learns about the sparkly, shiny vampires that are currently existing and decides to destroy them. Hahaha it’s audiobook is also good.

I highly recommend “Dodger” by Terry Pratchett. It is one of his non-Discworld books, takes place in Dickensian London, and is such a good read. It’s also a really easy read so you don’t have to worry if you have to put it down and do other things for a little bit. The audiobook is also great.

I buy my allergy meds in Kirkland brand for crazy cheap, bear spray two cans for what one cost me at home, affordable rotisserie chicken, if you drink soda get a flat of 35 for less than two 12 packs, then toilet paper and canned chicken, and a $1.50 hotdog and drink on my way out. =]

100% this! And the rotisserie chicken is ridiculously cheap. And of course they. And of course, a hotdog and pop for a $1.50 makes a cheap lunch when you’re out shopping.
