Picked & to make small for Mom. The roses smell divine!

I got the vase for free. It's part of set of 3 glassblown art vases. Got them from a free pile from local estate clear out, a few years ago. I'm good at scoring lots of & rarely buy anything new.

Bouquet of red & deep pink roses with red weigela flowers in a green & white glassbown artisan vase.

@msquebanh Getting only good things and only when needed has been nothing but wonderful for me.

It's a very different way of living.

But it also means that I'm not constantly throwing junk out.

When I throw something out a few months after buying it, it feels like I'm throwing cash into the bin.

Awful feeling.

I'll always try hard to avoid that.

@eniko I swear there's fae folk who are doing this on purpose.

They deliberately seek out the people who have anxiety because those get the best reactions.

@Dadlyambitions Danza has really grown on me like Japanese knotweed.

Can't get rid of it, now.

People asking me "What are you thinking about?" just get honest answers.

Like "The Puertorican cuarto sounds surprisingly similar to a guitarra portuguesa." or "Phorid fly larva eat ant brains and then the ant's head comes off!" or "Ottawa built a bridge which isn't winter-proof."

I could fib something, but why? The real thoughts are more interesting.

Sometimes I have an argument in my dreams and I want to come back and clarify with sources, but then I wake up and realize I don't need to work on convincing people in my dreams.

I'm still mad about them deliberately misinterpreting me, though.

And that tone of voice was seriously not necessary.

How dare they.

@mentallyalex I hope you can still clearly see how well-hydrated I truly am.

John Oliver's bit about Clarence Thomas ends in a very strange way.

In Oliver's words, "How the fuck is this legal?"

Meanwhile, in Portugal, the new ruling coalition proposed using military service as a sort of juvie, and the Portuguese military responded with with "No, fuck off." and "You have no respect for what we are."

Not fun to get told off by the military when you're trying to project a Tough Man image, but they "saved face" by claiming it was merely a thought experiment and they never intended to implement it for real.

Spoiler: They are lying.

Yeah, everything's fine.

Don't worry about it.

I'm going to put all my notes in paper recycling, where they belong.

@Dadlyambitions Currently can't listen to auditory bludgeoning and I'm jonesing for the daily dose.

People who dare not call a spade a spade remind me of this piece of satire, made for German TV.

I imagine 99% of the press taking the guy with the hat's viewpoint.

It's never good to combine criticism of Israel with nazi talking points about "The Jews".

Don't ever even try to defend it.

No matter how ugly Israel's actions get, it will never be okay to embrace literal nazi shit.

If you're sincerely against genocide, that includes being against the fucking nazis, who got over 20 million people killed, and were planning on many more.

Parts of India and Bangladesh have wet bulb temps of 27C or more, while it's past the middle of the night, there.

30C at 85% relative humidity is not at all easy to deal with, and it'll be worse come sunrise.

Definitely dangerous heat.

"You're not worth the trouble." I say, before launching into a 61-point rebuttal which I will come to regret, in time.

For some reason, Dutch and German disagree about which water means which.

Dutch "zee" and German "See" sound almost identical, but in Dutch it means sea, and in German it means lake.

Dutch "meer' and German "Meer" also sound nearly identical, but in Dutch it means lake, and in German it means sea.

What is this nonsense?

@adhdeanasl Don't know if you still care, but the illustrious Go Ahead Eagles actually made it to Europe-wide competition.

I'm starting to get more and more angry, every time mass media uses the phrase "new normal" to describe one single year in a continuously escalating climate crisis.

Constantly implying "this is how it is" as if we sadly failed to avoid the consequences, but these are all of them.

People are being given a dangerously complacent message, which will leave them wholly unprepared.
