Yesterday was the four-year anniversary of my mom’s death. I decided to write about what I was thinking and feeling. snowlessknitter.wordpress.com/2024/06/10/f...

Four Yearssnowlessknitter.wordpress.com As I write this, it’s the fourth anniversary of my mom’s death. (You can read more about it and her life in this post that I posted a few days after her death.) I figured I’d just write a little bit a...

It’s too hot for me outside and the weather has been awfully dry lately, but Roxy still finds this to be perfect sunbathing weather.

Congratulations on the Edmonton Oilers reaching the Stanley Cup Finals! And a shoutout to probably the biggest Oilers fan I’ve had the pleasure of meeting through social media, @darkbobby.bsky.social Given that the Florida Panthers eliminated my Boston Bruins, go get ‘em, Edmonton!

I posted this on my blog a couple of days ago. It’s sort of a look into my life as a reader. snowlessknitter.wordpress.com/2024/05/29/t...

The Books of My Lifesnowlessknitter.wordpress.com I came across this interview with actor Richard Armitage (best known as Thorin Oakenshield in the Hobbit movies and Geraldine’s love interest and eventual husband in the classic British sitcom The Vic...

I have my reservations about whether he’ll actually see jail time, but the fact that a jury was ballsy enough to find TFG guilty on all 34 counts makes me think that maybe there is still some decency and sense of justice in this country.

Thought I’d do a quick update on my dad. He’s been doing relatively good since his ablation. He still has the occasional rapid heart rate, but it doesn’t last very long and the physical symptoms are not as strong.

The Bruins got eliminated by the Panthers…again. 😑

My dinner for tonight: oven roasted pork shoulder and oven roasted garlic potatoes.

cabbage is a top-tier vegetable by virtue of its accessibility, value, versatility and flavor. it's a truly excellent vegetable of the highest order. the only thing holding it back is that it makes you fart. real shame

I’ve heard of “mansplaining”, but this has to be the first recorded case of “Beatlesplaining”. 🤦🏼‍♀️ And I agree with Paul: Beyoncé’s version of “Blackbird” is indeed “fab”. Here’s a link to the lyric video: youtu.be/xhempeEjGUA?...

Pay attention to how the media frames this election. They say we’re “deeply divided” but miss the big picture. One side would throw the rules of democracy out entirely! That’s not just “divided.” That’s wanting to end our country as we know it by putting a strongman in charge.

Random reminder: You don't grow the economy through trickle down economics. You grow the economy by investing in workers: their education, health care, child care, transportation, and job training.

It’s my birthday today. Woot.

I wrote a bit more about my dad’s procedure from a week ago. It’s been 10 days and he’s doing all right. snowlessknitter.wordpress.com/2024/03/08/t...

The Heart Saga: How Can You Mend a Glitchy Heart?snowlessknitter.wordpress.com As you may remember, I wrote in my last post that my dad was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib) and was going to undergo a hospital procedure to treat it. It was initially scheduled for Februar...

My dad underwent a successful catheter ablation on Friday to treat AFib (atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat), and he came home yesterday morning after an overnight stay in the hospital. It’s a little early to tell how effective it was, but my fingers are crossed.

I watched Terminator for the first time tonight, and while it’s a solid movie, I do think it’s funny that the premise is basically “Hey, how’d you like to go back in time and bang my mom”

It’s Tim! He was a beloved mutual during my days on Atheist Twitter. Good to see he’s managed to stay entertaining in the midst of that hellscape. And I think he’d be absolutely amused that George Takei shared his tweet.

I think he meant “pair” but said “paid” bc it would take a lot of money. A lot.

My dad’s still having some issues with his heart. I wrote a blog post about it. snowlessknitter.wordpress.com/2024/02/08/t...

If only Gene Wilder was still alive so he could reprise his Willy Wonka character just to tell Ron DeSantis he gets nothing.

Yes, DeSantis may have trashed his own state to score points with the base. Yes, DeSantis started a blood feud with a theme park. Yes, DeSantis talked to normal humans like a newborn Ferengi. But the important thing is he got absolutely nothing.

My state is an embarrassment. 🤦🏼‍♀️

A Florida school district reportedly pulled multiple dictionaries and reference books off its library shelves for including descriptions of “sexual conduct"

Florida School District Pulls Dictionaries, Encyclopedias From Library Over 'Sexual' Contentwww.huffpost.com The Escambia County School District is being sued for taking 1,600 titles out of its collection, out of fear that the books violate Florida law.

Happy New Year! 🎆 I hope all is going well for you and I wish you a happy 2024!
