Organic Dark Ground Coffee 12oz - Vermont Coffee | Stonewall Kitchen

My fave used to be VT Coffee Company but they got bought out a few years ago (and are still decent) so I go back and forth between "Whatever Italian roast is the least expensive" and that. These folks are local (and cool) but often too $$ www.stonewallkitchen.com/organic-dark... carrierroasting.com

Savor the bold, rich flavor of Organic Dark Ground Coffee with hints of toasted caramel & warm spice, expertly roasted for a full-bodied & satisfying cup.

The one thing me and my sister both share is a love for good coffee and good chocolate. And we both use Apple devices.

My sister and I share an account and she shops much more than me so I remain delightfully misunderstood by Amazon.

Hooray! This account is largely librarian content. Happy Banned Books Week. Please make sure you have a current library card (and hey your book looks neat, make sure your local library has a copy).

But the public library *is* for everyone. Even these dinguses.

People in New England are uptight about alcohol and it was a big deal when we could start buying beer on Sundays and then I went to Ohio and saw a drive-thru liquor store for the first time.

I love that everyone’s excited about #bannedbooksweek, but please remember that there’s so much more to it than just buying or reading a banned book. Its also about people- librarians, educators, and readers- Kelly’s body of work is a starting point to understand this more.

I checked their website because I was wondering if there were specific unwanted ingredients and it looks like the AI that built the website... forgot to put their labels on things. Is this a thing? simpletruthorganic.com/simple-truth...

Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting. If you mean banned in the US: Last Night at the Telegraph Club

And the guy speaking is talking about how he was against funding the rebuilding of the new school. Money and democracy are complicated. I've always loved this painting for its nuance.

I'm an election official in Vermont and I agree, it's an imperfect system here but goes a long way to trying to not let incarcerated people get disenfranchised. We could do more but between this and voters' guides specifically geared towards people with disabilities, it helps.

Librarians, start your engines.... 📚

Bad Brains played at my college in the 1980s. It was known as sort of a "party school" among the hippie schools of New England and when I saw HR smoking the largest joint I had ever SEEN was when I realized I wasn't really serious about drugs at all.

And people at gas stations would know how to get to and from everywhere within a 50 mile radius.

I'm familiar with this scenario. This was me in my teens and 20s. Like no big deal for me, sex is fun etc. But then I'd hear from people what guys were saying about me and it was as you describe, as some sort of conquest or scam and... gross. Like what is at the core of that, for men? Nothing good.

I'm surprised how many people don't know this! (best friend in high school was adopted, ex-husband was adopted, current partner was adopted) It's so fucked.

Today is World Postcard Day. Send a postcard to someone you like. Mail is fun. worldpostcardday.com

A postcard image showing nearly two dozen people sitting in a "observation automobile". The centre of the card also opens to reveal small snapshots of Belleville, Ontario "as seen by the rubber-necks".

So relatable. I work in a 1909 building and we are "letter of the law" accessible but in some ways not very accessible (bathroom door lock hard to close, lift has been broken for longer than I'd like, doors are HEAVY, shelves are HIGH). Was doing tech help at a senior living place, so relaxing.

Time for the Seed Oil Conversation with them.

Sceenshot of a handout from the Unbiased Science podcast. It shows two women talking with speech bubbles One of them is saying she's going to switch to tallow and ghee only and the other one says "That's totally your choice, just know that's going to cost about 5-10x more and won't give you any health benefits. It's kind of concerning when health advice becomes something only wealthy people can afford, you know? When we're talking about what fats to use, almost all the research points to choosing unsaturated fats (like seed oils) over saturated fats (like butter or ghee) because they're better for heart health in the long run" and then offers to send sources from Unbiased Science.

I reached out to them on behalf of Flickr Commons to see if we could help.

Awww, this was the first music video I ever saw on MTV. We were visiting my aunt Horty and uncle Bert and they had cable which would be a ways still in my rural town. We watched it while the adults talked.
