Cosign. And access to originals needs to be maintained whenever possible. Destroying originals after digitization should not be an option for most things.

a dear friend in Warsaw just held hands for the first time with his bf in public at the Pride march and I am still glowing thinking about it; Pride month is that rare month where we just get a steady drip of things like this, all month, and it's just so so so so so so nice

Campaigns right now should should say “you can have air conditioning, heating, and water OR you can have AI. Vote for what you need. I am the candidate running for _______ who supports _______.”

I wrote about this case a few months ago--worth noting that the majority-Black town of Newbern stopped holding elections altogether riiight around the time the Voting Rights Act said no, really, you can't keep Black folks from participating in elections

The assumption has always been AI would be the death of humans. We just all assumed it would be a supercomputer w/ a million robots. Turns out it will be a heatwave or freeze w/o electricity and the lack of water in general *caused* by a super computer running AI . 😡🤬😡

Yep. I put cumin on all sorts of things. I grew up in South Texas. It’s a staple like salt & pepper. And dill. I absolutely love dill.

Except I double the garlic and add a few TBLSP extra water

Any good gluten free flatbread recipe works.

Right?!? I love how who she was blows up all the assumptions about disability. Her “handlers” wanted her to be a stoic, intellectual, virginal icon—and she wanted so much more for herself & others. *so much much more*

She was a founder of the ACLU, a supporter of NAACP (as a daughter of a retired Confederate Army captain, nonetheless), and s major supporter of birth control access. She was also an active *sexual experimentalist.* They called her “Red Hot Helen.” (US Women’s historian here)

Homemade pizzas earlier. Too good to wait for picture. Homemade gluten-free flatbread w/ a vegan cashew cream sauce, sautéed onions, mushrooms & broccoli, w/ grilled chicken & tomatoes topped w/ very good local(ish) koroneiki extra virgin olive oil & dried Mediterranean spices. Now to walk dog.

I worry nothing is going to work out, but then our sheltie snuggles up against me and I’m much more at peace (not perfect, but much much better).

If you can wash them by hand and hang them dry easily—4 minimum. If not—Jen’s right a bigger number if you can.

A friend from Chicago sent this to me: her local branch of Chicago Public Library created an exhibition of left-behind water bottles titled "Thirst: An Exploration of Modern Dehydration," and it made her think of me. We've been friends for 40 years. She knows me well 🥰

Yesssss. I always make smashburgers on the grill. Husband does different. Anyhow—small chunk of cold butter buried inside raw meat in addition to whatever seasonings, let sit for a bit on grill and then smash, cook & flip.

Google & Mayo Clinic disagree about how much protein in chickpeas. Considering how horrible Google results are these days, think I’ll go w/ Mayo Clinic

Yep!!! Now I really understand the origins of your whipped cream idea. Because let’s be honest—smelling that vanilla only to swallow a 💊 is just anticlimactic. There should be old fashioned crank made ice cream w/ that smell. 🍨
