In which I ponder the cuddle-the-baby or ignore-him-when-he-cries approaches. I’ve been reading a lot about Universal Basic Income lately. What is it? Well, the basic idea is that everybody gets enough income to keep them just out of poverty even if they never do anything at all. In the U.S., it would be the equivalent […]
In which there are a variety of reversible, seasonally appropriate motherfucking handmade placemats!!! When your mom is psychic: You buy a table and you think, damn, some placemats sure would be great. AND THEN YOUR MOM SENDS YOU A BOX OF THEM RIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE, AND THERE’S, LIKE, DIFFERENT ONES FOR MAJOR HOLIDAYS […]
In which I buy stuff I don’t really need like an asshole, but at least it’s all used so I can say I’m “upcycling”! Bought a table today! A used table! A TABLE YOU CAN EAT AT! It’s a brown pub-style table and chairs set, and it’s taller than strictly necessary but I think it’ll […]
In which I wax enthusiastic about a very old product! Even with shipping, I got a frying pan, a sauce pan, and two lids for $25. Which is a really decent price, considering you could easily pay almost that for a lidded 6″ non-stick that you’d have to throw out and replace in two years. […]
In which it’s so political out there that it’s just better if I bitch here, where nobody but, like, five people and a couple of bots will ever see it. This article just showed up in my timeline. Being a woman, I clicked on it. https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/the-reality-that-all-women-experience-that-men-dont-know-about-kelly-jrmk/ Oh. My. Fucking. GOD. Don’t click through. It’s awful. […]
In which there’s good news. We flew to DC last Thursday so I could see Amma. We had a very short layover in Milwaukee, then got to Reagan, walked to the hotel shuttle stand, and waited for the bus. Got to the hotel, went out to eat on a cute little street a few blocks […]
In which there’s a recipe. I’ve been eating these all week. They’re really just bean tostadas, but you should make some anyway because they’re fantastic. This is a strange but delicious guacamole. Make some. (Click on the pic for the recipe.) Now put it in the fridge to chill. Put some grated cheese — I […]
In which there’s some perspective. Oil is in everything. Oil is in every single thing you ever use, touch, or buy. How does food get to the store or farmer’s market? In trucks that are running on gas. How do you carry your food home? In plastic bags. How do you store your leftovers? In […]
In which I’m ranting about “rape culture” yet again. Rape culture doesn’t exist. No matter how many articles you see about it, it still doesn’t exist. There was a national hysteria in the 80’s about an underground ring of satanic day care centers, where American children were being sodomized by the thousands. That didn’t exist […]
In which I talk about the news. Was told by WaPo via popup that I’d already viewed my allotment of free stories for the month, and was invited to give them a hundred bucks per year. Instead, I switched to another device and read the story anyway, and they got no money. (I sometimes subscribe […]
