Does anyone know of a cover I can get for a kindle that makes it easier for an elderly person to use it. Right now she tries to follow the words with her finger and it keeps tapping the page and it will change the size of the font or switch pages or bring up the menus and cover the words.

What I like most about my new job is getting to see the impact my foods make. I made cinnamon rolls from scratch, and 1/3 of the residents requested raisins, which is was fun.

*pizza sauce. It helps if the slices are about 1/2 in thick or a bit thinner. Be carefully, the middle tends to collapse, you'll need to eat it with a fork but it's the best way to eat monster zucchini. Other than grating it and adding it to everything.

Zucchini pizza! Brush slices with garlic butter and top with pizza and mozzarella and roast it. So yummy.

youtu.be/FiqYUE_aHAw?... It is of course way more difficult to thread in an after the fact lifeline in lace than it is in stockinette. It often seems like the act of threading a lifeline cosmically prevents the need for it.

Also they are taught in an indoctrination fashion so they are deeply ingrained. Get me in a room with camp counselor alumni and we could all be singing silly songs in a random bar in minutes

You know what? I’m feeling generous today. This is Chapter 13 of Space Opera, justifying why in the world sentience would be determined via an interstellar battle of the bands.

I came into work this morning and the Elder who was so upset that Howie Mandel couldn't get home and his parents would be worried was watching AGT on the TV in the common room. So far she's okay with it, but I changed the channel to how it's made. Fewer people to worry about.

The UUA has released a new Statement on Faithful Dissent, Noncompliance and Civil Disobedience, affirming these practices as part of our UU religious tradition. Rev. Sara LaWall reflects on what that looks like in lived faith. Read more: bit.ly/4dgTCjn bit.ly/4hncgsv #UU #Dissent
Vertical UUA quote graphic on a cream background with abstract red, yellow, teal, and charcoal shapes and a faint chalice watermark. Large centered text reads: “Our religious tradition is a living one, an ongoing mutual revelation of how our shared values oblige us to live our lives, rather than a faith fixed to a single creed. We will not surrender the power of that revelation to any government.” The final sentence appears in dark magenta.

Learning the fine line of lying to elders with dementia at my new job. It's a delicate balance to walk. I still feel miserable that when I left for the day there was still a lady trying to get her husband on the phone. And he's not going to pick up ever again.

The world is on fire right now and that makes everything seem more hopeless. You are an amazing creator and would have done a great job but it didn't go that way. I'm sorry. I know it's hard to hold on to your whimsy and optimism but you can do this. I believe in you.

But was it sustainable seafood? Seattle aquarium does a great job with their sustainable seafood display in the cafe and educating the public about how to preserve the oceans is an important part of what aquariums do.

The giant turnip is a great picture book for that age. Also Up and Down also about how vegetables grow. Fruit Bowl is also fun it challenges conventional knowledge about what is a fruit and what is a vegetable and who should be included in the Fruit Bowl.

Cream cheese recalled are commercially prepared spreads and salads distributed in 5 to 20 lb tubs in new York. That being said finding out this is a nightmare because the website listing recalls has become less transparent over the last year. It only lists things that have been officially reported.

when I first learned about Emmett Till every effort was made to make it feel like some distant event in a long-since-atoned-for past. but he was younger than my grandparents. one of whom is still alive.

To have the courage to tell someone the truth of what you see. The injustice you see. That you are not being kind to my fellow worker and they have a right to safety and security. You are harming my neighbor and I will not be a silent observer to that cruelty.

Sara Jane @sarajanefaulds.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
"The truth does not tell itself" it is told by individuals who choose to ignore the comfort of being praised by a master that exploits you and use their senses to face the reality around them. To those of use with more privilege it behooves us to make the world a better place for those with less.

We live in a world where a few people have do much and use that to gain more wealth. And so many people have a little and are just trying to survive. Why should the slave work to enrich a master who is a hard man who reaps what he does not sow?

Caffeine headache are sneaky. Make sure you drink plenty of water and hang in there. The pain is actually you brain forcibly adjusting to the levels of caffeine it has. Not giving into the temptation to add more caffeine to make the problem go away is hard. sarahdonner.bandcamp.com/track/your-b...
