Would have been more effective to use a dark brown paint. Blood wouldn’t stay so bright red

Yep. I wasted a lot of years not realizing this. It’s very true. Same goes for your health. Take the time you need to recover.

It’s not so much that they wake and scream. It’s more that they scream all damn day and night and you notice it in the morning.

I think it happens very frequently where you see that people in dire need do not know how to access available resources. Sometimes they don’t have the mental capacity; sometimes they don’t realize there’s help, sometimes they don’t know where to start.
There is a lot missing from this story, but it’s still tragic and entirely too common.

I really love that this solution involves power tools and not kitchen implements.

We have an above ground pool. This time of year, there is usually a couple inches of water and a bunch of leaves from the fall. We have some nearby neighbors that raise bees.
This week I was scooping out the dead leaves (while the water level was low) and the pool was just full of bees. So many bees!! They were sweet. They didn’t bother me while I scooped leaves. They just wanted a drink from the shallow water. I like it when the bees come visit.

Martha’s Vineyard is not a sanctuary city, and they didn’t claim to be. They don’t have the infrastructure to be a sanctuary city.
They did, however, pass sanctuary laws—which are not the same as being a sanctuary city.
I know it seems like splitting hairs, but legal language is very specific and often confusing when put into a colloquial context.

It’s fair to note that they weren’t “kicked off” the island. They were brought to the nearest location that could accommodate the people, comfortably, while getting them to the places they needed to be. Many of these people had to be in other parts of the country to get their papers sorted.

It’s okay everyone; that skillet is pretty well seasoned—it won’t be too bad.

I’ll take that cat.
In the summer of 2020, I had the opportunity to foster 5 not yet weened kittens. It was the first time in my adulthood I was home all day to feed and change litter every 2-4 hours. It was a much bigger bite than I realized. But I loved every one of my babies. Anyway, the runt of the litter was an absolute murderess. She weighed 4 oz. the first time she brought a mouse home.
We kept her. And she’s still a murderess. If you thwart her, she will find something else to murder.

Not that people don’t eat horse intentionally, but every decade or so there’s some scandal about horse meat mixed in with the ground beef.
And this is why I think of horses every time I hear Salisbury steak. … my brother once had an extreme anaphylactic episode after eating SalisburySteak at a restaurant. We always assumed it was some preservative in the sauce. About a decade later, he has a similar reaction to some kinda “beef” sandwich. They test him for allergies. He’s allergic to horses and dust mites. And it was right about that time that the horse meat in the meatballs scandal broke…
