Leave the damn squirrels alone!

I live on a steep hill, every season except high summer is wrong coat season. -10 C outdoors, I still get too hot on the way up in my wintercoat. Right now we are at sweater and light jacket down, shirt up season.

I don’t understand people that let their dog bark uncontrolled. My dog wants to bark at cats, the one neighbor he doesn’t like and at ambulances and churchbells. We would never let him out after 10 pm or before 7 am for that reason alone and during the day we try to silence him (he knows the silence command, and when he ignores it he loses his outdoor privilege for the hour). We have a dog down the road that is chained up in the yard all day and night and barks at passersby all the time. This week the house nextdoor was sold and I feel so bad for the new homeowners.

Cooking laundry sounds like a fun way to say dishwashing.

From the report: This report is a product of field and remote research carried out between October 2019 and May

1. The report’s findings and conclusions are based on first-hand testimonies that Amnesty International gathered from former detainees of the internment camps and other people who were present in Xinjiang after 2017, as well as from an analysis of satellite imagery and data. The report also draws on testimonial evidence and confidential government documents gathered and analysed by journalists, scholars, and other human rights organizations. One hundred twenty-eight people were interviewed for this report: 55 former detainees of internment camps in Xinjiang (39 men and 16 women), 15 other witnesses who lived in or visited Xinjiang since 2017, and 68 family members of people from Xinjiang who are currently missing or detained. The majority of the interviewees were Kazakh, a minority were Uyghurs, and a small number were Kyrgyz or Han Chinese.

I enthusiastically bought a load of quinoa to diversify my grain cabinet… anyone got some good (veggie) recipes?

The same place artists get it? As long as people enjoy watching what you do and are inspired by it it is worth something.
