"Constitution Hound" from Kindred Cocktails is bitter to the core and deliciously complex. I used King Floyd's rosemary grapefruit bitters instead of the suggested citrus twist garnish Cheers! 🍸

I'm usually a big fan of LED and energy efficiency, but some LED replacements for fluorescent lights are even more painful than what they're replacing. Someone who gets migraines should have to spend 8 hours under every new LED light design, and approve it, before it's released on the market.

Useful info #blueresisters #resourcesforresistance Description in alt text
Text post from user maniethotline:
To anyone wondering if it's worth it to tear down fascist posters or whatever. I spent a few months last year engaged in silent battle with another student at my school who was putting anti trans stickers up everywhere. I had it down to a system where every night I would walk the five block radius they went up in, and tear down all the ones I could reach, and use a stick to put duct tape over the others. Like, within hours of the stickers going up, I would have already purged the whole zone. I knew the basic schedule of whoever put them up based on when the stickers appeared. I probably could have found them in person if I'd wanted to. And I told all my classmates and friends what the stickers looked like and got them to rip them down too. And after a few months of this, the stickers slowed, and then stopped forever.
My point is, a lot of this fashy or right wing stuff is one local weirdo. And if you pay attention, and do a little light organizing with your friends, you can basically make their efforts into a giant sisyphesian exercise in misery. You control your streets!
User aleecatblues replies:
Remember: it costs money to keep printing those stickers, but ripping them down is free.

TIL that state employees in NC are legally prohibited from striking and forming unions. Not surprising, but disappointing. And one less way I can protest.

This probably seems grim, but given recent events, it might be a good idea to publicly display a declaration of life, especially if you fall into one of the target demographics Take mine or make your own:
On a background of yellowed paper, bold text reads: Declaration of Life. If I disappear, I did not go willingly. If I die, it was not by my hand. Existence is resistance.

Snow days got me like
A large mug of hot chocolate with whip cream on top and a spoon sticking out is sitting on a crochet coaster on a coffee table. Beyond it and to the right, the photographer's feet are propped up on the recliner footrest and wrapped in a white fuzzy blanket with mushrooms on it. The background is out of focus and shows parts of the floor in a cozy, slightly cluttered home.

I must not fear Fear is the mind-killer Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration I will face my fear I will permit it to pass over me and through me And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path Where the fear has gone there will be nothing Only I will remain
Yellow poster with 5 red, yellow, and green stripes at the bottom, with a red semi-circle and a squiggly symbol in the bottom right corner above the stripes. The text reads: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Frank Herbert, Dune (Dune #1)
