Tonight's dinner is rehydrated chicken salad with a selection from my indoor salad bar containing dandelion, plantain, chickweed, violets, and yarrow. I'm eatin' like it's the apocalypse :)

@BillieBun So polite! All eight eyes stare directly at me while the old man whimpers quietly here.

WP's editor quit! Hahahahaha

It's wild how reading the news and seeing the e. coli stuff is making me crave McDonald's.

@AskTheDevil @GFerro1965 Me too, but for some reason since 2020, I can't seem to handle too much. Maybe if I wasn't dealing with an emotionally abusive relationship at the same time America has been walking steadily toward Nazi Germany. Oh, yeah. And there's still a plague. Wheee.

@AskTheDevil Awesome, bookmarked where I used to have WP.

@GFerro1965 @AskTheDevil FUUUUUUCK! Well, I can't say "now I can't read him anymore", because I couldn't read him anyway. He was too intense, I liked him too much, so he was overstimulating.

@elbutterfield @cmskiera

@elbutterfield That sounds awesome! Thanks :)

Okay, so I'm poor and only do one news subscription. Since the Post ain't it anymore, what's the best source for balanced reporting? Like, actually balanced, not "Nazis should have free speech too". I need something that will help me talk to people in a red state about current events without pissing them off. Does that exist anymore?

@holon42 Perhaps God was sending a message to not bond with the Antichrist. I mean, it's a plague, right?

I am actually a little happy Bezos decided to be a dick today, because when I start trying to convince people in my (red) area to critically think their news sources, I can now say I get my news from a source that refused to endorse Harris. I can now really walk them through the steps of "consider your source" combined with "everyone has a bias".

@DavidSalo Naturally, we are equal opportunity hedonists.

Oh! Here's a little Halloween knowledge for you non-pagans. Now, I've seen nothing to confirm this in print, but witches who are familiar with the craft's use of symbols to hide the proper way to do certain rituals, the old "they rode broomsticks anointed with hallucinogenic ointments while naked and it made them feel like they were flying".... Sex magic. I'm not the only witch I know who has thought that.
