I am so pleased with tonight’s cocktail hour that I am posting it into the ether here even though I never post and almost no one follows me*. Blistered shishito peppers and tomato martinis**!! *I do not care, I promise **garnish is a blossom from my garlic chives

Bright green peppers with strong char marks sit in a shallow black pottery bowl on a wood table. Just behind the bowl is a glass coupe with tomato-pink liquid with a cluster of small white flowers floating in it.

When Trump is finally defeated, remember that the hangers-on and the ghouls surrounding him, the JD Vances of the world, will all claim that they were trying to moderate his evil and they should be thanked. And we need to remember that this is a lie. They were willing to do anything for power.

Things your unhoused neighbors can use this summer, aside from the obvious: - candy (I get asks for this more than almost anything) - sunscreen (high SPF pls!) - lip balm (bonus for SPF) - electrolyte packets for water - cash - gift cards for fast food and/or accessible grocery stores 1/

This is your reminder that after you make $184,500, you stop paying into Social Security. Millionaires hit that cap today. We are constantly told there's "not enough" money for Social Security. But we let America's richest people stop paying into it in March. Scrap the cap.

As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

The world is a garbage fire. Take your dog to look at Christmas lights.

A small black dog with a big block head and sugar on his muzzle sits in the back seat of a car. He looks off to the right out the window. The colors of downtown Christmas lights reflect in his eyes.

A small blockheaded black dog presses his nose against a lowered car window. Outside the window we see a building typical of downtown in a small city. The building is draped in festive, multicolored Christmas lights.

Remember that while food banks welcome donations of food, they prefer $$$$$$$. They have deals with grocery stores and suppliers. You can only buy one dollar's worth of food for one dollar, but they can buy several dollars' worth. So don't, like, buy food to donate it, just give 'em the dough.

It’s been a frustrating, scary, exhausting day on so many fronts, so I’m just gonna post some of my dahlias. This new hobby has been a lovely bit of joy in my life this year.

A collection of dahlias sits on a table. Some are tight ball forms, others big blowsy loose blooms. They are various shades of yellow, pinks, orange, red, and purple.

A light red dahlia with neat and regular tightly packed petals. The petals are a pinkish red with lighter pink edges. The center is magenta because it hasn’t fully bloomed. In the background is lush green overgrown grass.

A beautiful perfectly regular dahlia with pointed lilac pink petals in front of a wooden fence.

Two large red dahlia blossoms with lighter edges in front of a wooden fence. They are surrounded by several buds in various stages of blooming.

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Your Labor Day reminder that if the minimum wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $28 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $21/hour from working Americans for 60 years. We don't suffer a lack of resources—but from an excess of greed.

unless someone specifically asks for advice it is actually pretty rude to offer it unsolicited, especially when the “advice” is basic “how to live your life as an adult” stuff
