@skinnylatte The expression on Mila’s face always makes me think of Communist posters for some reason.

@skinnylatte Do you know this cat or did it sneak in through a window?

Today I learned there is a vaccine for the cancer that killed my mom in development. In a stage 1 trial, it cured the cancer for people with Stage III and IV cancer. That made me tear up for what might have been. Then I learned that legislators in some states are trying to ban RNA vaccines (which this possible cure is) and I really cried.

@kims If you don’t do C2, then C1 can and will be overturned in two years. Sarah Kendzior talks about this a lot.

@skinnylatte HA HA HA HA HA! Im assuming they survived and were allowed to re-enter?

@clive @kims If a large part of your friends circle is from NZ or Aus you will also think this.

If you are interested in how different languages represent the sounds animals make — and how they are and are not similar — you have GOT to see this. "Meow" across 21 languages is FASCINATING. https://pudding.cool/2025/03/language/

@skinnylatte I rarely see an angle on Monterey I've never seen before, but you found one!

@skinnylatte Well, make sure to rug up in July! July and August are FREEZING in Monterey, or at least they used to be.

@skinnylatte Aw, Seattle! Are you going to take the ferry to Bainbridge Island while you’re there? (Not sure February is the ideal time…)

@skinnylatte While you are there, although it's not Asian food, you should try HomeState's breakfast tacos. They have 8 locations around LA.

@skinnylatte Oh hey! I wrote that article!

@skinnylatte Seaside has CHANGED since I lived there, I think!

@skinnylatte Yes. And the things that are not bland are often dairy bombs.

@skinnylatte OMG CAN I MAIL ORDER THOSE

@skinnylatte I don't think they existed when I loved there. Those look fantastic.

@skinnylatte I am gobsmacked that this article never once mentions that Trader Joe's has been owned by Aldi Nord since 1979.

@skinnylatte ...you may have just changed my life.

@skinnylatte Tofu noodles...do you mean the NOODLES are made of tofu?
