It is the start of Banned Books Week and as such it's an EXCELLLLENT moment to donate to @authorsabb.bsky.social. We are laser focused on tbe single issue of fighting book bans. It's hard work, and we've done it with all volunteers for about 3 years-- and now we finally have a program manager.

Since I’m not retired yet, hubs is doing 99% of the housework and he reminds me of my grandmother-every chore has a designated day.

I hate the way we have to watch #baseball in the streaming era. I miss watching the #yankees on WPIX. Always the same channel. Now, streaming here, there, everywhere. I don’t even know how many services I have just to watch sports-on top of subscriptions to #MLB, #NFL,and #NHL

Hubs and I finally went out for our anniversary. Sit down restaurant but not fancy. One other diner dressed in a leather vest over bare skin. I really don’t want to see belly and armpit hair while I’m eating. He was 60, give or take. Pic below is not him but how he was dressed. #dinner

A lot of baseball players stuff a handful of whole sunflower seeds into their mouths in the dugout, break the shells and spit them out. Always reminds me of the way that birds eat.

I just woke up from a couple hours sleep after my overnight. The older I get, the harder working overnight is. I'm tired, sleepy, my body doesn't know what time it is or what it wants. I don't want to sleep more now or I won't sleep tonight. I do know that my belly regrets my Hardee's breakfast.

I survived my overnight computer watch for the update. Rewarding myself with a terribly unhealthy bacon, egg, and cheese from Hardee’s and sleeping all day. #overnight #healthcarehours

It's 04:47 and I'm still awake. Usually fall asleep in 2 min flat (staying asleep is a whole 'nother thing). Finally figured out that I took Excedrin instead of acetaminophen. #sleep #caffeine

Finally got my COVID booster (insurance hadn't added it to their formulary when I tried a few weeks ago) and I was also due for a tetanus shot. Got both. Forgot how much tetanus makes my arm hurt. Totally worth it. 10/10 would get jabbed again. #vaccine #covid #tetanus

They finally actually looked at the receipt instead of insisting that I only ordered one order. Called me back to apologize and just delivered the second dinner.

Absolute worst service from Mi Rancho in Staunton. Ordered online for delivery - $60.00 total for 2 orders of burritos deluxe. Order arrived w/ only 1 order. Restaurant absolutely refuses to work with us to either give a refund or deliver the 2nd order. Have been eating there for years 🤔

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

When I learned to ladder back it was like magic! I either frogged or completely abandoned so many projects as a new knitter that could have been fixed so easily.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

“At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care.” H/t @ameshaa.bsky.social

nbcnews.com

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Exactly! I sit there for one - as soon as I'm sure that the light isn't changing, I go.

I called the police at about 5 minutes hoping that they could direct traffic but they weren't there before we all ran the red light.

Andy 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🧶 @microknitter.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

If you're sitting at traffic light is skipping the left turn through cycle after cycle, how long would you wait before you run the red? The lady in front of me waited more than 10 min. She finally went through when a pickup screamed through the intersection from the far right lane. #traffic

Feeling better this morning. Didn't culture - the vast majority of GI illness is self limiting and Abx generally not indicated and, in some cases, contraindicated.

Woke up to a very unpleasant GI illness. Trying to figure out which of the contaminated foods our government has allowed onto the market is the culprit. Again, my job intrudes-trying to diagnose by fecal appearance.

This is the way. I know it’s a delicate balance between covering legitimate public interest stories and First Amendment concerns, but it’s about time the press showed some balls.
