Hi everyone! I’m a proud first generation Ukrainian American, writer of books, garden tamer, untangler of yarn, felt magician, and spoiler of many pets. Come join me on this wonderful adventure. 💙💛.

That's it, my wife thinks I'm crazy. The reason? I think I understood a crow conversation yesterday.
Crows do have a vocal language like humans, albeit much simpler. I do understand a few calls, and yesterday, I could piece a conversation together.

It went this way:

As climate scientists, we can only tell you why climate change is happening and how severe the consequences will be. It takes voters to choose politicians who will listen and enact policies to avoid the worst possible outcomes.

DHS issues a poster with imagery reminiscent of McCarthyism propaganda during the Cold War when Americans were urged to report suspected communists.

Okay, so I acknowledge that I am hoarding the new baby kitten cuteness from you all. Kiki is painfully cute, and a little extra painful because of how much she reminds us of our noodle-girl. They have the same nose. We’re going to need a Teriyaki hashtag eventually. #kittens #cats #CatsOfMastodon #Mastocats #CatsWithHats

Well everyone, we have a new baby. We are still deeply missing Ramen, but didn’t want Cricket to be alone too long. Cricket is getting used to her new baby sister. Welcome to the family Teriyaki, (Kiki for short)

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

If you, or someone you know, has undergone surgery to remove lymph nodes, you really owe it to yourself to find someone trained in lymphatic drainage. It has reduced my pain to where most days, I don't have any. And my practitioner is at an approved physical therapy place, so insurance pays for a lot of it.

Please tell folks who may not know. You don't have to put up with painful, swollen areas that are backed up with lymph. And once they help you get that swelling down, there are things you can do at home by yourself that will help keep it down.

I'm yelling about this now because only one of the 4 doctors on my "team" thought about mentioning this to me. So I don't know how many other folks who have had surgery like I have, and are not getting referred (or even told that lymphatic drainage nurses/therapists exist).

Tell everyone. There is help. It can get (a lot) better.

Waste. Fraud. Abuse. 1/...

Via Kyle Griffin:

The CBO just released a score on Republicans' existing mega-package and found that the GOP budget plan would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion over a decade.

It would boost the incomes of the richest 10% of Americans while lowering the incomes of the lowest 10%.

Round 4 of my Iris tracking project. I have 25 clusters of Irises, 20 have bloomed. The last five might be late season bloomers, or just not established enough to bloom yet. I have figured out the names of a few, which is fun. Finally some bold colors decided to show up, and alas, more peach! 😂 #Bloomscrolling #gardening #Irises #florespondence

#7 a black Iris with a vivid violet center and pale yellow beard#12 a bearded Iris with white falls edged in bright violet and fluffy peach standards with a tangerine orange beard#15 a bold bearded iris with dusky magenta falls and tangerine standards with a bright orange beard.#16 a huge Iris blossom with deep wine falls and lighter magenta standards with glowing peach at the heart and dusky magenta beards.
