The situation 2021 needs, if not the situation the world deserves.

Without saying your age, what's the first major news story that you remember from childhood?

Mine: The Challenger explosion

@alenkafiga Yeah, it's apparently just a big old ball of suck today.

[Uncanny Magazine @UncannyMagazine]

@marylgibbs Oh, that's a great idea! I honestly hadn't thought to try that.

[Laura @LauraMStump]

I need my bananas to overripen so I can make banana bread. Why? So I can use the banana bread to make French toast which I will then top with melted brie and maybe some candied nuts.

@G33kMom @tpwky @indfnsofplnts I don't know how I forgot about your poison plant books! I thought it was fascinating because I never would have thought such different species would be related. Apparently urushiol is anti-fungal and kills the eggs of bugs who deposit in them!

[Laura @LauraMStump]

While listening to @tpwky and @indfnsofplnts today, I learned I react to poison ivy and my brother reacts to mangoes for the same reason, and that reason is that those two plants are somehow related to each other and to cashews. Nature is freaking WILD.

[Laura @LauraMStump]

@tiakall It's a concern for when I make mine, for sure. But somehow the restaurant I got it from made it work! I'm thinking it may be more like a traditional bread than a normal banana bread. Experimentation is going to be required. For science!

[Laura @LauraMStump]

@teh_n8 Oh snap! Curse this pandemic for keeping me from the glory of Trader Joe's.

[Laura @LauraMStump]

@tiakall I had it on a business trip once, and it was amazing. I'm not sure I ever would have thought to use banana bread as a regular bread in that way.

[Laura @LauraMStump]

@ElleOnWords I love my Panda Planner for keeping virtually everything straight. It's a physical deal, not digital, but they have free PDFs you can download to try out, and there are a lot of features that allows you to customize.

[Laura @LauraMStump]

Holy crap, this is so good.

This is true. Many things you'd get at the craft store can be found at a hardware store in larger quantities for less money.

35 years old, and I've gotten to have this moment exactly four times in my life. 😂😭

43 years old and I still feel smug every time I perfectly peel a hard boiled egg.
