I volunteer my immunocompromised relatives as tribute for tacklevax as well. One of whom has a very bad cough, fever, sweats and atrocious exhaustion but her GP didn’t swab her for covid or flu or pneumonia because “we treat them the same as a cold.” 🫠

Tell them you have an avocado allergy, but you can have calabacita and chayote and do they have salsas that don’t have avocado or avocado leaf. (Leaf is super common in mole). If you’re asking if they put avocado in their salsa verde, I think most places will be fine.

Not adhd me walking around house turning off lights saying “huh I didn’t know fruit was female, I thought flowers were male or female plant parts, I guess that makes sense because seeds are like ovums or are they babies? Or are they the uterus with the seed fetus? Is guacamole mashed up avo period?”

The chayote one is traditional. In California, at least, it’s always been the one on offer in taquerias. White people called it guacamole and Mexican and Chicano staff shrugged. A lot of local places in Central Valley didn’t even have guacamole. Maybe avocado for slicing, but until late 90s, no guac

We’ve been doing No Mow May the past couple years and their larvae (and others) hide and grow in the tall grass, clover and early flowers. We have triple the fireflies the neighbors have, and they have a lot.

DOE could pay a full time paraprofessional at an elementary school with two of these decal changes. Keeping kids in school with more individual help is scientifically proven to reduce crime.

You know, instead of writing 400 stories about how old Joe Biden is, perhaps our news media can put their focus on these freaks who are already in positions of power? Like, as someone who isn't Christian, I'm kinda taken back by a sitting Senator saying that I and my family are threats to America.

Also, before you come for him, @ftrain.bsky.social was wildly supportive of my career: he changed his work schedule and then, when he was the boss, company policy, to accommodate construction hours, doing all the school mornings, and 3 nights a week solo twin bedtimes so I could get another degree.

Can we just talk about this plot for a second? There’s several disparities here that give me pause, but the one that really makes me want to kick people is the 3rd set down, parents of minors vs. not. I don’t have kids. I don’t want kids. BUT I *DO* WANT MY TAXES TO FEED HUNGRY KIDS! WTF, people.

This was one of the first things I diverged from when I moved out of my parent’s home. A plastic trash can instead of a bowl. You immediately rinse it and then scrub with soap. And no one EVER puts popcorn or halloween candy in the bathroom trash can.

My friend used to make crispy chickpeas in 3 or 4 flavors and keep them in her purse. She did one with smoked paprika, one with buttermilk, and cheddar powder and a smidge of ranch powder and one with wasabi and buttermilk powder. You can control salt but need some of you want them to keep a week.

This this this. I was run down after caring for all 3 of other family with Covid and didn’t rest enough the first time I got Covid. I lost taste and smell for a YEAR and had a lot of spatial memory issues (most eventually resolved with stellate ganglion block). Take care of yourself.

We’re living through an era when everything needs to be upended yet so many people are clinging tightly to the edge of the pool. I understand why this is: when things feel uncertain, the status quo is a mirage of ‘safety’. But we need people who are willing to swim in the deep end & offer new paths

If you’re of a certain age, the itchiness is a lesser known symptom of a dip in estrogen. A dab of estrogen cream on ears can help. My ent gave me green light to put a little bactine with lidocaine on a qtip, scratch the itch with that. It numbs it for a few minutes and REALLY helps. YMMV

An enormous number of these bail funds don’t just provide bail: that’s just one piece of a raft of services: legal help, transitional housing, a neutral location for supervised visits if kids have been removed during incarceration, job help etc. They aim to not be “total strangers” and lift people.

A vet friend told me they do this because these are their kittens! They bond with them. They’re showing them to you. LOOK AT MY KITTEN! LOOK AT IT. She said it’s also why they will make trips to gather all of the soft, roundish toys in one place and then tell you about it. At 3 am. Repeatedly.

Thank you @blueheronfarm.bsky.social for the incredible cajeta. It absolutely made me feel 4 like when Grandma Ida showed up with a block of cajeta that we melted over ice cream. Sometimes cajeta was a spool of lollipops In crankly cellophane that we melted over the gas stove & burned our fingers.

I’m hard of hearing (and getting progressively worse) in a weird range of frequencies that make certain environments completely excruciating. My doctor suggested using tv captions and … <gasp>telling people so I’m not stuck in misery. I’m so much happier not going to small music venues that hurt me.

Meh. They usually stay away when people are near. If you see one, hold your arms or pack above your head, make loud noises, yell & throw stuff without turning & running. Bobcats and mountain lions the same. If you absolutely must get away, back away, but make sure you’re not between them & kittens.

We just got one of these and put it in a different window from AC. It’s magical. Our AC can now actually cool top floor. It blows hot air out or cool air in and only needs a 2 prong outlet.
