I’m with you on Arizona. They say the Tucson area has fewer MAGA wingnuts than most other places.

Nice marmot!

“Tell-alls” are what we will call our post nuclear war oral history.

Twice in the last few years I have gone to a Food Bank, which both times made me cry in humiliation, and I don’t cry.

Your comment both made me laugh and also brought tears to my eyes. I have so much respect for you sir. I am also on SNAP this winter and it is literally keeping me alive. I am in a motel room and have thought about a crock pot, that is really smart. I could not eat a can of government meat, that would make me vomit. I…

early morning and day time drinking is the best kind of drinking.

I discovered these two on Saturday and I’m obsessed. I’ve been down the youtube rabbit hole and can’t decide if I love the raunchy or delicate routines more.

LMFAO!!!

That looks fantastic, and I get too many tomatoes to deal with. Would you be alright sharing the recipe? And how long do you find homemade lasts?

I used to work in an area full of cotton fields. One morning I saw a crop duster fly under the power lines in front of me. I about crapped my pants. Those guys/gals have nerves of steel.

I was coming back to say the same thing. A few tomatoes, some onion, chile of your choice, a bit of fresh cilantro and a touch of lime juice. Even if you have to buy in the store, it is still way cheaper than the bought stuff. I’m in Texas.

Hmmm... Not sure your taste can be trusted if you’re putting cheap amaretto in your coffee. Maybe the chiles burnt your taste buds off?

Self-replying because I am humiliated that I didn’t include this in the original piece:

Explain to me how he coerced her. He has no power over her. He’s not in a position of authority over her. If his fame gave him power over her, that was her choice. Ansari is probably no more than 140 lbs soaking wet, so he’s not even a physical threat to her. She engaged in sexual activity with him. He never had…

Thanks for writing this. This has been a very stressful time, and you capture a lot of the thought loops really well. You’re doing a great job. My condolences about your comment section.

This has been going on for decades, basically since the late 1990s when the Tohono O’odham Nation, which predates the existence of Mexico and the US, was militarized by the Border Patrol. Border Patrol has sabotaged water supplies for the migrants, run over vegetable gardens in Tohono O’odham villages, banned…

I’m in Tucson and I am so so glad to see both the work of No More Deaths and the destruction of resources by the BP being reported nationally.

I don’t know about anyone else, but this child of the Cold War remembers what it was like. Yes, Pepperidge Farms remembers. We did the duck and cover drills every week when the air raid warning would go off every week. I lived in Long Beach, California and there used to be a huge Navy presence there so it was expected…

Speaking of “Annoying Browser Notifications” I find it annoyingly hypocritical that the site that introduced me to ad blockers (and AdBlock Plus in particular) more than a decade ago - Now complains every time I come to the site BECAUSE I’M RUNNING AN AD BLOCKER.

Yeah, talk to any farrier or large animal vet about that.
