@cwebber @kevingranade Have you tried a khichdi version? Basically mung beans and rice cooked together in a rice cooker. I like to add onion, mustard seeds and cumin seeds sauteed in a little ghee to mine. You can serve it with a wet curry or with yogurt and pickle or alone.

@cwebber @kevingranade Here's an instant pot version. I have an old rice cooker so I just saute stuff and scrape it into the rice/water/bean mix before turning it on.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are still allowed to have fun and see friends and eat a slow dinner and celebrate things, even while "all this" is going on. Make your five calls, be part of a protest, pick your piece of "the work" each week but also make sure to nourish yourself and your networks because we are going to continue needing each other.

@UnknownSilicon Thanks for sharing this!!

@webology Like a personal capacitor for potential new information?

I love the grown up version of whack-a-mole that we get to do at the end of each office working day where you close all the tabs. (Ok, maybe like half the tabs.)*

*I'm definitely closing SOME tabs over here and I will take the tiny peppering of partial wins.

@_L1vY_ @GhostOnTheHalfShell @DeliaChristina @anubis2814 I think they are letting *some* smart people help them this time. That's what Project 2025 seemed to be all about.

@anna These are important points.The next generation can't be a carbon copy of the group that can before them.

I'd also like to add that while there is a lot of enthusiasm for FOSS teaching and even maintenance, many projects struggle to bring newer people all the way into leadership and the conversations where they're planning for the future. And that's something that projects looking at their long term futures need to get better at.

@VATVSLPR @GottaLaff Ah. Yes, thanks for clarifying.

@VATVSLPR @GottaLaff It feels like some context could help here. Quakers were early abolitionists and participated in the underground railroad -- an instance of protecting human beings who were not supported by the law at the time. They are an entirely different group of people than the Catholics, Evangelicals and Megachurch weirdos who refuse to keep children safe from their elders.

@MJ @TonyStark @GGMcBG And before this gets weird, I personally always vote because I want there to be a record that people like me go to the polls.

@MJ @TonyStark @GGMcBG I think you're underestimating how thoroughly the understanding of the Electoral College has been communicated to voters. I live in a "blue state" and I got texts and emails nearly every day asking me to "donate so we can talk to purple state voters." No interest in what "safe state" voters want or how we spend election day. Just DONATE ...so we can talk to undecided voters. No one should be surprised that many took the message that the popular vote didn't matter.

@benalldridge This is beautiful, thanks for sharing!

@smitten I'm afraid it will be individual instead of all at once. eg not my favorite nibling's life ruined, my neighbor was nice and didn't deserve to be rounded up, I always thought I'd stay on the safe list but now I'm not and I didn't like this, etc

@lowqualityfacts Borrowing from every device in my house that is not capable of having an emergency. Microwaved food and dry clothes do not need a beeping champion.

@xahteiwi @mahryekuh Maybe he's a little meaner in Dutch? 😆

@xahteiwi @mahryekuh Ooh, lovely. Do you happen to know what Oscar the Grouch is called there?

@mahryekuh I love this. I wonder if there's a German expression for an all day muffel?

@cwebber People aren't going back far enough for their trad wife escapism.

@cwebber I hope you get a whole stone kitchen and medieval tools vibe going for your gruel recipe empire.
