Why is Flavia de Luce the ABSOLUTE BEST? (Finished book two. Kind of glad I started with audiobooks because they last longer and the reader is AMAZING)

Do dill pickles count as vegetables or does the pickling diminish their nutritional value? 😬

I forgot what a nightmare it is to run errands in summer in Los Angeles. It’s hot, it’s busy, half the shoppers are tourists and two-thirds of the shoppers have feral children.

My whole family uses 'upandcomeance' for people who should get what they're deserving (negative)! This comes from my brother, who initially eggcorned 'up-and-comer' with 'comeuppance,' and we all just kept it. 😆

I just watched the RENFAIRE docu-series on Max. Whew! The way the entire community doesn’t bat an eyelash when their 83 yr old “king” demands 20 yr old girlfriends. But I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

The NYT telling people not to vote is a huge mask-off moment and it would be a shame if everyone involved suddenly found dining out an untenable venture.

Look, as a writer, I appreciate knowing the proper terms for both things & people. And I'll try to remember this. But it *is* a bit more challenging to take demands for respecting protocols seriously the day after we saw your leaders posing with ventriloquist dummies & men in baked beans balaklavas.

Can't be overstated how bad sustained attention is for almost everything these guys say and do. It's a movement that thrives on disengagement from, and cynicism about, politics.

"I cannot afford to believe you because it would cost me something I value" is the extremely powerful vibe on my timeline for the last three days and since somebody said that to me about someone much less powerful I wish people would just hop in their DMs then.

"Believe victims," they say, with the unspoken caveat that this will change according to their personal fandoms. Look, doubt whatever you want, but maybe do it quietly and offline because if you're wrong, you're being slimy. That's all I'm offering for advice.

Rural voters are discovering that vouchers are a scam that steal money from their local school to fund some private school that’s either way too far away for their kids to go to, or doesn’t exist in the first place

There is no model in which these products become profitable. The overhead is astronomically high and will require defying the laws of physics to overcome. Meanwhile, they’re fleecing gullible businesses and governments blind on false promises of an everything tech that in fact does very little.

I honestly don't know how compromised Biden's mental state is but I will for sure not be relying on the assessments and opinions of people who would absolutely raise Ronald Reagan from the dead if they could find a willing voodoo priestess who could pull it off.

Am I the only person who doesn’t feel compelled to read or watch or listen to something JUST because an artist I like made it? Subject matter is everything. (Example: big Rhett Miller fan, not interested in songs about parenthood or aging.)
