My husband would LOVE to live more into the country now but when we bought our current house, we did it so we could live closer to our downtown. There are a few places we could walk to easily, including our current jobs, and the house is a manageable size. That's important w/his health issues

STEWART: β€œComedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwetherβ€” we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

Trump says he plans to designate antifa as β€˜major terrorist organization’ It is unclear how anti-fascists, an umbrella term for far-left-leaning groups rather than a single entity, will be labeled

This is so effed up.

Okay, came back because I remembered a pumpkin cider that was really good that you might want to try if you can find it: Harpoon Pumpkin Cider

While it's great when I can break a story first in our region, these stories are tough. I'm hoping to learn how many employees are being affected soon. Either way, it's bad news

Of course, all big tech is supremely disappointing. It's like, what battles do I not fight because I unfortunately have to rely on some of it?

I would have ages ago but I have to update FB for work and it's also how I learn about stuff happening in the community (I'm in news). Unfortunately, I can't just leave it

I can still get into Threads/Insta at least, but now I have to ask my boss to update the work FB page because I can't. Seems like I should get some response from FB in the next day or so, so here's hoping I guess???

My FB got suspended this morning for "violating community standards." Nothing I post should be considered a violation given that it's mostly about my pets/house. That said, I shared a column by Chris Armitage about "silent secession" a couple days ago & that's the only thing I can think triggered it

We didn't have one until almost 2 years ago, so I was never in the habit of going there. I'll still go there before Walmart if I have to (they're within spitting distance of each other). Wegmans is next door. It's super disappointing how they've changed

White House officials wanted to put federal workers β€˜in trauma.’ It’s working. Federal workers describe struggling with panic attacks, depression, suicidal thoughts. β€œWhy doesn’t anyone care?”

An IT worker for the nat'l parks drove to a bridge & called a friend to talk him down.

First lawn mowing of the season complete. Only did 3/4 of the yard because the other 1/4 is going to have a dry well installed, get regraded, and then seeded with native clover.

When I saw this story, I immediately thought to myself that if I need to fly that I just need to bite the bullet and drive the 4 hours to Toronto to do it. Now I get to worry about my parents flying since they have all kinds of trips coming up

Reasons why I'm planting clover in our smallish backyard this Spring! Low mow for the win!

Got to do one of my favorite annual interviews this morning with the executive director for the National Comedy Center. I've always enjoyed comedy but the opening of the Center combined with their annual Comedy Fest has really helped grow my interest. We're so very lucky here in Jamestown!

Is it time to introduce students, and others, not from the USA who are being affected by these visa issues to our country's love of litigation and begin a class action lawsuit?

This has become my issue too! I just don't feel very fresh/clean after using any other toilet

We don't even have a fancy heating option and we still love our toilet-seat attached bidet. My husband is very vocal about his enthusiasm about it to me, which surprised me.

I don't think he was supposed to meet w/ him initially and I'm letting myself believe that he demanded a mtg to give him a final word on what being Catholic is all about
