This will do just fine. Spicy add-ins: fresh green jalapeno with seeds top note, a spoonful of sambal oelek for a tangy base note, a fuckton of Sriracha for the middle note

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The time when I can refresh my housewares v cheaply & it's even earlier bc everything goes on clearance before Halloween now. These were 41% off, came with the stand, +free shipping (& they must ship from the bay bc it was essentially overnight) Hooray

I normally make sets before I glue them down but I just needed some nails on, so I painted a plain gold cat eye with a pink shift. As the week has gone on I've been trying out different designs & techniques. The 3d charms are ones I've been making myself with silicone molds. I'm pretty happy overall

Seems like a very normal guy with no massive control issues. However did he become a cop 🙃
One resident said Kevin Mannix initially made a poor impression when the family moved into the neighborhood.
“He went around the block and basically told every household on the block what they needed to do to clean up their act,” the neighbor said.

I have not had Cholita Linda in a while but I got a good promo & holy shit, it's been so long since I've had a real Cuban picadillo & I can't believe they make chicharrones from chicken thighs instead of pork (I don't eat pork) so I got extra & everything was just so good & I have so much left over

Aw the lady who made shit up for reposts blocked me bc I pointed it out, bc it's more important that everyone repost the bs you made up than factual & scientific accuracy & She had 1000s of reposts she must have been checking to see if anyone was pointing out her bs in order to see & block me lol
Me, reposting a post
"THIS IS NOT TRUE
WHY ARE YOU ALL REPOSTING THIS RANDO JUST SAYING SHIT
American Chestnuts were never the dominant species in the US they were dominant in a specific ecosystem in a specific part of their native range in the eastern US. There are other surviving stands! These were planted in the 70s!"
The post I reposted from:
Kasey Gifford @kaseygifford.bsky.social
To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center.

Like even the fucking article this person links to it says all of these claims are unverified!!
The grove at the former Clements State Tree Nursery in West Columbia is described by conservation advocates and American Chestnut Foundation materials as having been planted from wild surviving specimens. Think of it as the ecological equivalent of a seed vault that nobody put a sign on. Advocacy sources say the trees carry genetic material that restoration programs across West Virginia depend on, though that role needs independent verification from the Foundation, the West Virginia Division of Forestry, or a qualified botanist.

The American Chestnut Foundation has circulated appeals to state officials about the grove’s potential destruction. The approximately 200-tree count, the 1970s planting date, and the trees’ wild provenance all come from advocacy materials rather than a verified nursery record or agency report. What advocates describe, if accurate, is not scenery. It is what they characterize as irreplaceable restoration infrastructure.

Mv very first attempt at making 3d nail charms with solid gel and silicone molds! Not bad (I intentionally didn't do the feet). I mixed clear solid gel with black gel polish for the color and it's so hot that it got sticky and hard to work with, but it came out pretty good still

I was cleaning out the terrarium that several of the drosera that I have in my bedroom live in. They're doing amazing, so much so that this capensis clearly needs to be repotted because the roots are growing out of the bottom of the pot and it's making babies on them!

This is what I made last week that I didn't wear for very long. I was mostly just trying out different polishes and different effects both with the magnets and with layering to see what I could do-the concept is cool I just don't really like how they turned out color and structure wise

CDPH Notifying Public of Measles Exposure Across Multiple Counties Involving Train and Bus Passenger

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is working with counties and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on measles exposures related to passenger who traveled by train and bus and was hospitalized.

 

What You Need to Know: An unvaccinated passenger who traveled across the United States on Amtrak, including through California, traveled by trains and thruway buses with transfers in at least six California counties (Alameda, Butte, Kern, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Joaquin). CDPH is working with federal partners and local health officials to notify people who may have been exposed. With this news, and with measles spreading in other parts of the United States and the world, CDPH urges Californians to ensure they are fully vaccinated against measles.

Well given that I, without hesitation, said my baseball "walkout song" would be Release the Bats, I'm v much not surprised (except for the fact that it isn't related to my gothness. and I'm not chatty)
The result of the Autostraddle quiz "Which Unfairly Maligned Animal Are You?" above a picture of a small brown fluffy bat. Underneath it says "Okay, I do highly doubt a queer person has ever maligned bats, and if you are taking this quiz, I assume you are queer, and therefore the chances of you not only liking bats but also maybe having a bat tattooed on your body are quite high, but anyway, if you got this answer, it’s because you come to life at night, are chatty, and agile."

This is the part that really got me: seemingly at most, people are just going to be getting $2 off of their electric bill for a year. And presumably if you move out of sdg&e's coverage area they just get to keep the money, oops I mean the "bill relief" they owe you
In a letter opposing the budget measure to
extend CalSHAPE, San Diego Gas& Electric Senior
Vice President Mitch Mitchell said its customers
contributed about $189.6 million to the program.

The company stands to get back $100 million --
the most of any participating utility
which
would amount to about $24 per customer,
divided into $2 monthly payments over a year,
according to a legislative analysis. Utility officials
said they are committed to returning all unspent
funds to customers through bill relief.
