Rescued a young/unripe pattypan looking squash from a feeder vine outside the fence of my local community garden. Probably a weird cross with too much cucurbitacins. Or maybe it was the old cucumber I had from a sale veg bag. Either way, something was bitter. And now I am on and off my toilet. Woo.

I like things. I like hobbies. I get internally discouraged when a hobby I'm enjoying is something someone I know is hyperfocusing on because I don't do that? It is overwhelming to me to be driven to know ALL THERE IS TO KNOW about a thing and watching it/seeing it does similar to my brain. Sigh.

Michael Crichton was a certain sort of "airplane lobby" fiction writer in my opinion. But this is a funny odd accidental sort of genius observation. Why expect things you don't know about to be credible when it isn't in a thing you do know about? Good Fing Question en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael...

Idea: Maybe we shouldn't be treating 7th grade girls volleyball like the Thunderdome? It's not just bad for the parents (who hate each other due to playing time) and culture (watch ESPN for ten seconds), it burns out the kids and makes them worse adults AND athletes. Sports are supposed to be fun!

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!

Trump’s promised $5,000 checks would come with a massive price tag. With roughly 240–245 million eligible adults, the cost would land around $1.2 trillion, with some estimates putting it as high as $1.35 trillion.

the game literally calls the “coming horde.” This is not some random MAGA website or parody. It is official White House messaging on a .gov website, turning immigration enforcement and the detention of human beings into a game. We have officially entered the dystopian arcade portion of the timeline.

Headlines around the USPS, mail voting, & SCOTUS are confusing by design. Here is what you really need to know: 1️⃣ Mail voting remains safe and protected by law. 2️⃣ States set election rules—not POTUS. 3️⃣ The chaos is a strategy to spread doubt and fear. We’re not taking the bait, take action with us

So weird. Known someone for a long time. Have occasionally reconnected over the years, lost touch, reconnected. I've always know how to get ahold of them but every time I reach out it's a weird "fight" to get them to respond but when they do they are pretty happy about it. For a short time.
