Morning all. Iâve done lots of thinking this week & decided I donât think I can carry on with my business anymore.
Itâs always been hard, but itâs so much harder to keep my head above water now which is not only bad for me mentally, itâs affecting my physical health too (1/4)

It just doesnât didnât happen, did it? đ€Ż
Is it just me, or is there a racket going on?

So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder whyđ€š).
At least itâs online. Reshare.

Woman arrested live on air by Donald Trump's thugs just because she says she doesn't want her tax dollars used to commit war crimes in Venezuela.
This is far worse repression than they have in Venezuela.

I highly recommend doing a herb and spice clear out at the start of the year as it means when youâre looking for the tiny best before date, you only need to see if itâs 25 or less. Here are yesterdayâs casualties.
The oldest date was 2023. Not bad considering I once found a tin of marrow fat peas from the 90s with a raffle ticket on it.
ALT Itâs a collection of 7 herbs and spices (and related) on a wooden bench/counter top. They are basil, ground cinnamon, sesame seeds, BBQ seasoning, ground black pepper, ground nutmeg and chilli flakes.
