I’ve always been a fan of the pizza cutter my brother bought.

This is so nice. I hope you get to cook and eat with them again very soon <3

Can I come please?

This. Sooo much this.

I was a runner before Covid struck (probably 3-4 days/week reliably), but the spring 2020 surge and the correlating work stress from working in health care drove me to increase my mileage and get outside every single day, regardless of temperature or weather. At a certain point, I realized that this was a coping…

Covid was a such a monumental event that there is room for all of these stories though. The NY Times front pages are lined with gruesome details and sweeping systemic problems. Three sections back it’s bread recipes for lockdown or exercise you can do in your living room. It’s all there, there is plenty of space to…

But those who are left behind are so stunned, he wrote, we “speak not of those who died gasping or those who live now with scar-laced lungs” but of the “smaller losses”—a coffee with a new acquaintance, a cold beer in a near-empty bar, a pool party.

Politely disagree with the bagging organization. Dad was right.

At one point I tried to start writing some things down, figuring I would leave it for my grandkids, if I ever have any. But it just kind of petered out, and I haven’t written anything for months. It got to be too much. How many times can I write, “I just can’t f*ing believe this”?

“There’s no life hack that gets around the knowledge your government was happy to let a vast swath of its population die, no radical acceptance of such a monumental chain of loss.”

You totally nailed it. He’s just freaked out, and training def needs to be at the WH. It would be even better if he had a designated handler at the WH who participated in all the training and walked/tended him at all times. I think dogs with these kind of problems need consistency to feel safe.

German shepherds aren’t exactly social butterflies. They can learn to chill, but it doesn’t come natural for all of them. Considering Major is a rescue dog, he’s been subject to some trauma, and it’s reasonable to assume that he gets all kinds of nervous around strangers. Which means that having random WH employees…

Sorry, Marnie. I’m on Team Yuck and the only time I’ve ever eaten mushrooms, I was at the end of a 20-kilometer hike, it was dark, and the fungi — big portabella-adjacent critters, foraged — had been chopped and mixed into the camp spaghetti the cooking crew had made. This was about Day 19 of a 21-day hike with a…

I fucking LOVE mushrooms, fresh or dried. I think most people don’t use dried mushrooms enough, I know I have at least 10 varieties of dried shrooms, most whole/pieces but some are prepared like chinese black fungus so it’s quick to use in a soup. One of my alt favs is powdered porcini, a little goes into adding an…

It’s technically called a “Croque Señor”.

Sorry about the delay, I has a weekend chag and then forgot about it. Also, I should have noted that I meant outside of healthcare workers (who have different dynamics and protocols), and at the epidemiological/spread level. I don’t really have the attention span to judge the various journals, but I put the CDC and…

Sure but it’s not her fucking fault the state Supreme Court removed her ability to make emergency declarations without approval from the state legislature. She literally can’t do as you suggest without convincing a bunch of conservative Republican dumbasses to go along with it, which isn’t going to happen.

The job I had before my current one was at a nonprofit. It wasn’t full-time starting out, and even when I was brought on full-time the pay wasn’t the best, but it was fufilling enough that I didn’t mind doing some freelancing to make my rent. My manager and coworkers respected what I was doing and didn’t bother me…

You pulled the trigger on this article too soon. The House launched an ethics investigation into Gaetz this afternoon.
