My hubby does most of the cooking for Thanksgiving. I clean the kitchen the night before and bake desserts, make salad, and do a sweet potato dish. Today's baking is a puff pastry with cheesecake and blueberry layers topped with whipped cream and blueberries.

@Florence Concept already unlocked with successful implementation. The paper shows great improvements and plans moving forward. We can look forward to even more great things to come from here. ❤️

I see Republicans running campaigns on anti-LGBTQ rhetoric fuckteen thousand times a day.

If your party runs anti-LGBTQ political campaigns, you lose the right to accuse anyone of politicizing a tragedy that your bullshit political rhetoric caused.

My sister sent me this and I’m evil because I’ve been laughing for 2 minutes.

Delivery driver thank you box is out!

Year 7 of thanks for the many folks who make it up our front stairs to deliver things to us. It's always such a joy, and I'm happy to have gotten it out before Black Friday (always my goal, but last year I was late). It'll get a little zhuzh with some juice pouches to round out the beverage offering, and maybe a couple more salty snack options.

My sweet, derpy boy. #cats

At some point, everyone and nobody is "them" and "they." It's just hurt which, for me, metabolizes to anger because that is an easier emotion.

This happened in 1998. I was 19. Old enough to know the details of their living conditions and to have made one of the CPS reports, myself.

I guess I am saying - it's more than gun violence. It is the repeated failure to protect innocents. It is the inability to even protect loved ones when you know they are in danger.

Or to put it another way, a tiny leak, happening consistently, increased our water bill by about 180%.

If the thought of shopping until you drop on #BlackFriday (or ever) fills you with disgust, consider my annual tradition. In early November, I begin assembling my gently used clothing, shoes, handbags, home decor items, jigsaw puzzles, books, and greeting card to donate to my local thrift shop. It’s the only affordable shopping option for many in my county. The proceeds benefit after-schol programs for at-risk youth, and I’m recycling items in good shape for others to reuse. It’s a win-win-win!

This research matters for several reasons.

1. Up to now, people have had to undergo RISKY surgical insertion of electrical implants into the motor regions of their brains for this sort of machine control.

2. This is the only study of its kind not limited to able-bodied subjects. You read that right, most studies fail to use the people who would be the tech’s end users.

3. It involved an intensive and long period of training and skill development in ways that apply to a real-world setting.
