My husband's brilliant cooking mistake; here's the recipe:
1. Slice zucchini lengthwise, toss with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper.
2. Roast at 350F for 30 minutes.
3. Turn off oven and leave them there for a week while you go off on vacation to LA.
4. Come back from vacation, discover the mistake, and beg forgiveness from your wife.
5. Wife (me) looks at dried out zucchini and says, "They look like zucchini jerky; let's try one."
6. Most delicious zucchini ever!

"In the case of Russia's crimes in Ukraine, there is no doubt these are crimes against humanity." - VP Kamala Harris.

Grateful to my many family members, friends, and colleagues who take to the streets to protest against the threat to Israel’s democracy.
I’m with you at heart, even if I can’t be there in person.

Sending peace and loving kindness to former President Jimmy Carter, who has entered hospice care. What an exemplary person he has been.

Donald Trump pardon recipient gets sent to prison anyway - Palmer Report

This gives you an idea of how slowly the wheels of justice normally turn. He was just sentenced for a crime he committed in 2016.

Now tell me who is doing more damage to our democracy: Mark Zuckerberg or Rupert Murdoch? And if you’re answer is Zuck, please note how Rupert and his cronies willingly, knowingly, deliberately shoveled dangerous lies onto the airwaves in search of ratings. As they have been accused of doing for decades. FB amplifies, but Fox is the source.

Happy #Caturday!!!

I, too, was once a "lost young man" too.

* I grew up in a religious working class home
* My mother drilled into my head extremely toxic views on gender
* I was raised with the notion of a very "us vs. them" view of the world

You could say I was radicalized the moment I was born.

Want to know what de-radicalized me?

Talking to -- and spending time -- with people who aren't me.

Just not to post only #nsfw #art . Here some #postapocalyptic #city #aiart #ai . Decided to try :) To be honest, erotic art I enjoy more:)

Mastodon I'd like you to meet Oreo, a domestic short haired tuxedo cat. He is 7 months old and acclimating to the rest of the menagerie pretty well. Oreo seems bold and he'll need that in our pack! This is his fourth and final home, as I don't believe in rehoming once I have them, problems and all.

More to follow...

Dying with dignity and agency is another thing Jimmy Carter is teaching us.

😲😞😃

Essentially the entire DC press corps -- like pretty much all of Big Journalism -- still acts as though the Murdoch family's poison-spewing Fox "News" does journalism.

Why?

He can feel all of us, the love, the admiration, the respect the entire world is sending. Engulf him. Think on all the good Jimmy Carter has done for humanity & send him off with so much love, light and affection he will soar with ease. ❤️
