I fell off the wagon about posting here, other than the GFS notifications. My big news is that we're finally moving to New Orleans at the end of the year. We'll be living in the French Quarter. There's lots of work to be done for the move, but I'm excited about it!

The countdown is on before I move to New Orleans. Come join us!

Mom hasn't been eating right. Cooking for 1 sucks. Trying to do it while easily fatigued & using a walker means she's mostly been reaching for sweets. While visiting, I've been cooking & freezing meals to be microwaved. She requested a tuna pot pie. We ate half for supper.

My New Orleans poetry project is developing nicely. 5 streets done in at least 1st draft.

I am so grateful whenever someone shares It's Storytime with new listeners. I thought the hard part was making the episodes, but that was trivially easy, compared to how much work and effort it takes to ensure people who will love the podcast find out it exists. Thank you, We Have Issues :)

In New Orleans, we just had a truly excellent meal at Cafe Amelie! It included a gf bread that's a lovely cross between a croissant and French bread.

If they want to keep shoving women back into the kitchen, I bet we could find about 75000 ways to put your entire meal in gelatin. Nothing says June Cleaver like pot roast and peas in Jello-O.

Always remember they're going after trans people not because trans people became too public, not because trans people asked for too much, not because trans people had too many genders, not because trans people were annoying online. They're going after trans people because they lost to gay people.

A friend has succeeded in luring me into the world of fountain pens. I always assumed they wouldn't work for a left-hander, but it's becoming more difficult for me to grasp and write with your average ballpoint or ink gel pens. This TWSBI with lovely purple ink is working just fine!

I've been making bracelets for my sis inlaw to sell at the bar she works at in Milwaukee. All proceeds will go to the toy drive she hosts each year.

This is straight out of Project 2025, by the way.

Screenshot from project 2025 that says Funding for scientific research should not be controlled by a small group of highly paid and unaccountable insiders at the NIH, many of whom stay in power for decades. The NIH monopoly on directing research should be broken. Term limits should be imposed on top career leaders at the NIH, and Congress should consider block granting NIH's grants budget to states to fund their own scientific research. Nothing in this system would prevent several states from partnering to co-fund large research projects that require greater resources or impact larger regions. Likewise, the establishment of funding for scientific research at the state level does not preclude more modest federal funding through the National Institutes of Health: The two models are not mutually exclusive.

Little Itty Bitty Pretty Mini Guinea Ginny was adopted into a home with a small herd of peegs and a huge habitat. It's exactly what Ginny needs, but it was still hard saying goodbye.

The event is tonight, IRL in Chicago, and free. This new incarnation is as much about socializing as the show. Don't be afraid to arrive late or leave early. I was late getting the PR out on this one, but it will be the 2nd Monday of the month, going forward, if you want to mark your calendars.

This is Itty Bitty Mini Guinea Ginny, my current foster peeg. Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society can provide everything you need to care for a pet, except fresh veggies, including vet care. You can also visit the animals every day of the week just to pet them. #AdoptDontShop #AntiCrueltySociety
