I've yet to see a simpler explanation for Project 2025.

@gbosslet Is it NA? Any brand?

This version of the multiverse is heartbreaking. Death threats? It shouldn’t be a reaction at all. Full stop.

[foolish optimist 🤷🏼‍♀️ @foolishoptomist]

@HC_Richardson Um. When you are concerned that’s alarming! And you are exceedingly concerned.

@gbosslet I remember my mom saying it was a splurge to buy boneless chicken. Let’s roll back to that. 🤓

💯 love this.

Field trips shouldn’t stop after you graduate. I feel like if a bunch of buses pulled up to your job once every few weeks and your boss was like “we’re going to the planetarium and lunch is provided and your friends are all coming too” that would make life so so much better.

@gbosslet Love this. Email etiquette needs more attention and could be overused. I also think we need more lessons on when to use IM vs an email.

Idaho library friends! Please send your feedback on HB384 to the committee before tomorrow’s hearing. Tips:
📌 Legislators don’t want to read a copy/paste message from an organization, they want to hear your unique voice. Be yourself!
📌 Be respectful. Don’t curse at them. #idpol

@gbosslet I “invested” in a box in 2017 of 3000 sheets for $30. We bake and cook a lot and almost half way through the box. Silpats are great too!

@edrabinski The Storyteller - by Dave Grohl Excellent audiobook!

@gbosslet The decider is you and what makes you feel joy and content.

@drpatesblog Coming from a seeking to understand- how does that compare to other years with other viruses? Or where could I find that data that’s accurate.

So many in power filled with hate. Humans are being terrible to humans.

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls.

One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails.

Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)

@gbosslet Thank you for allowing others to navigate their own story and find a journey that does not need shame. Thank you for your truth. It will help exponentially. ❤️

@Apple please know that John at the Boise Town Square is a compassionate and kind person. Very impressed with his assistance yesterday.

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

@gbosslet When I was touring colleges for my eldest, I realized living on a college campus would be the best thing as a grown up. Gym, auditorium, library, bookstore, bowling alley, shopping- all within walking/biking distance. Yes, please.
