I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Neuromancer, eh? I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'll extend my offer of my phone mojo to those who might require it.(Although it does get easier, if not exactly more joyous.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Gibson doesn’t control anything with Neuromancer at this point. After Johnny Mnemonic, I wish they would stop. I have serious doubts.

Anybody see us declare complete war on Gaza with a promise to “own it” and “develop it” with “other people’s money” while Gazans happily leave and live in a “beautiful county?”

I am having a full on panic attack. I am sick.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I want to throat-punch everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris because she supported genocide in Gaza. And then light them on fire.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Just caught up on almost a week's worth of posts. The big news at our house is we have kittens!

We adopted 2 sisters named Barada and Nikto(Yes, the other kittens in the litter were named Klaatu and Gort- they were adopted before the ones we got)Right now they're in the rec room with food, water, letterbox and toys. Barada is starting to get more friendly, while Nikto has hidden herself very well.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yay kitties!

I had not heard the latest Gaza news. I’d ask what the Rancid Cheeto in Chief is thinking, except we all know he’s not.

As far as eggs go, my sister is going to hook me up with her hairdresser, who raises chickens and sells their eggs on the side. It’s giving 90s drug deal vibes. I can get you those sweet, sweet hen fruit, baby. Double yolk even. Just bring the money to the parking lot behind the Cut & Curl after hours and I’ll set you right up.

I always get the free range eggs at the grocery store, and those haven't really gone up in price ($4.99-$7.99 a dozen, depending on brand and if there's a sale). But the store-brand (Meijer) eggs are now $4.69 for a dozen. I don't know if the free range egg prices just haven't caught up yet, or what.

Yard eggs are the BEST eggs.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I’ve decided to just preemptively start switching out my egg sandwiches for oatmeal and yogurt.

Re:Gaza - 1) it’s awful and truly a sick minded proposal 2) I fully expect some hamas supported attacks on us soil if the rhetoric continues.

One of my Senators’ voice mail was full, hope that a good sign.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Timelies, all.

On the egg issue, I saw a Facebook post from a university agriculture extension with suggestions for egg alternatives for baking. I was somewhat surprised that the comments (as far as I could see) were just full of helpful suggestions for baking without eggs.
