Banana pancakes & bacon. (And iced latte!) My pancakes are gluten & dairy free, but my neighbour gets so giddy when I tell her I’m bringing some over. The secret is my cinnamon & white pepper in it. Any time cinnamon works in something, so will a bit of white pepper. Game-changer. 🍜🍽️

Werner Herzog’s “Lessons of Darkness” will show you - among other awful things - why a lot of veterans have lung disease. Absolutely horrific. (Why no, I don’t enjoy patriotic holidays anymore.)

Hey all you people with reskeets turned off, did you know you're missing out on a great opportunity to BUY MY BOOK and support an indie author who's just escaped a lifetime of abuse and could use some support rebuilding his life from the ashes? Did you?

when I was a child, I thought smart people were in charge. when I got older, I realized you didn't have to be smart to be in charge. but the piece that was hardest to learn is that no one is really in charge at all. no one's going to fix it beyond us.

There’s a meadow of them and they fill with a regional native flower called the camas and the First Nations nearby used to (maybe still do!) use it as a tuber.

Reading this, again, lately “…As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn’t go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.”

I have significant disagreements with the weighting here (e.g., no one deserves 6 points of credit for putting it on srimps) but anyway my score was 55

Reposting because I’m correct
Absolutely not, but there is something wrong with anyone who thinks there’s something wrong with Old Bay.

After a couple day’s reprieve, I’m in no mood for the return of this punishing heat we’ve had. Why can’t the goddamn Navy just send me to northern Sweden

nothing is inevitable but the heat death of the universe, & everything can be changed, with the right combination of communication & communal effort. Some people are overwhelmed & despair of these things because they genuinely don't see a light anywhere, & we should help each other find that light…

*sigh* I didn’t expect anything different and neither did Boeing
The US Justice Department is nearing an agreement with Boeing that would include a corporate monitor and a fine in exchange for a guilty plea to criminal charges — an offer the lawyer representing the families of victims of two fatal 737 Max crashes harshly rebuked as a “sweetheart deal.”
