Wenn heute für dich alles schief gegangen ist, ist das kein Wunder.

Wir haben Freitag, den 26. Das ist doppelt so schlimm wie Freitag, der 13.

"Welchen Geschmack soll ihr Kaffee haben? Vanille, Cookie Choko, Lotus Biscoff, Macadamia, Haselnuss?"
"Kaffeegeschmack wäre toll."

Der Schwarze Holunder ist übrigens die #Heilpflanze des Jahres 2024. Die schwarzblauen Beeren sind vielseitig in der #Küche und #Naturmedizin verwendbar, sollten jedoch nie roh gegessen werden. Sie enthalten den #Giftstoff #Sambunigrin, der durch Erhitzen unschädlich gemacht wird. #Holunderbeeren sind reich an wertvollen Inhaltsstoffen wie #VitaminC, #Kalium und #Flavonoiden, die antioxidativ wirken.

There was a young lady named Bright,
Who could travel much faster than light.
She departed one day,
In a relative way,
And returned the previous night.

Wolven vallen steeds vaker schapen en andere dieren aan. In de eerste drie maanden van dit jaar zijn 267 aanvallen op dieren vastgesteld, in dezelfde periode van 2023 waren dit er nog 77.
In vrijwel alle gevallen hadden de landeigenaren geen hek of prikkeldaad om hun grond staan of andere preventieve maatregelen genomen om schade door wolven tegen te gaan. https://www.ed.nl/binnenland/landeigenaren-beschermen-hun-dieren-nauwelijks-bijna-drie-keer-meer-wolvenaanvallen~a66e8f3a/

Dat zij wettelijk verplicht zijn hun vee te beschermen staat er helaas niet bij.

I have plenty of prejudice. It's okay. You do too, and that doesn't mean you're a bad person. What decides your character is what you choose to do about it. Fight against it. Choose to reject the easy route and actively work to counter your own prejudices. In fact, you should assume that everything you think and do is informed by your prejudices, and adjust accordingly. It's not easy, and you're going to fuck up. I do all the goddamn time. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try every goddamn time.

We can all be better than we are. That's terrifying and awesome and hard and impossible some days, but it's worth it when you break down some part of yourself and realize what that wall was hiding from you.

And fuck it, even if you get nothing out of doing the work, you've got to do it anyway because that's what you have to do. Because other people matter too. If they stop mattering, what's the point?

Finally joined the #electriccar revolution. Welcome to the family, Dory (see if you can spot why we chose that name?) #Peugeot #Peugeot208

Exasperated fact checkers: what's with you people, Hillbilly Elegy does not say JD Vance fucked a couch!

TIL that in the 1630s there was a song only played in the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican kept the composition of "Miserere Mei, Deus" secret for 140 years until 14-year-old Mozart listened to it 2 times, transcribed it from memory, and produced one of the earliest records of musical piracy.

So I'm sitting down, weeding my pollinator garden (I'm plagued with crabgrass but I refused to spray, paranoid about chemicals hurting bees and honey) and my husband says, "See I'd have no idea what was a weed."
Me: It's only a weed if it's unwanted.

Cat Ladies

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) slams JD Vance for denigrating voters:

“My God, they went after ‘cat people,’ good luck with that! Turn on the internet and see what cat people do when you go after ‘em.”

Word-up! Muffin and her littermates are an army, and cats and their people do not take prisoners.

This guy is really good, btw:

The more you watch @Tim_Walz the more you like him. I think he would be an incredible VP. Watch him destroy Republicans talking points below ⬇️

EVERY damn headline from WaPo and NYT is anti-Biden BS.

No need to tell me you've canceled subscriptions, I already know and good on ya.

But we need to counter this stuff.

We need to blast.

And we need to tell them DIRECTLY, as many of you have done, to stop this and go after FASCIST TRUMP and his cohorts.
