This is so much fun. Nintendo should make a whole game around this mechanic. #TearsOfTheKingdom #Zelda #NintendoSwitch
Today's PSA: when there's someone you'd like to criticize, who is definitely worthy of that criticism, criticize them for that. For their policies, for their bad behavior, for their terrible opinions. But don't criticize their appearance. They're never going to hear you. But do you know who will hear you? Your friends who share those characteristics. Especially your fat friends. We hear that you equate fatness with slovenliness, with stupidity, with being evil. We hear, and know that's what you secretly think about us, or make an exception for us and say that we're 'one of the good ones' who 'tries real hard.' So just don't. Fat people are entitled to being treated decently and with respect. If you don't want to give that to the person you are criticizing, that's fine. But don't give it to them because they're terrible people, not because they're fat. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
This Week's Treat: Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream.
So, something that's wierd about me is that when I'm on estrogen, I hate chocolate "flavored" stuff (things like chocolate cereals, chocolate ice creams). When I'm off hormones, I love it. I figured if I made the chocolate myself, I'd be able to control that wierd taste problem. This tastes just like those chocolates I hate...which means it probably tastes pretty good to everyone else. :)
Note to self: Heshey's Cocoa is NOT Dutch Processed Cocoa, nor is it Dark Chocolate, do that next time.

My beautiful country is on fire.
Firefighters are so overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster that the military has been deployed to help.
Entire cities have been evacuated.
14 million hectares of land has burned in Canada this year, easily dwarfing the previous record of 7.6 million hectares reported in 1989 — and the season isn't even over yet.
Severe drought and extreme heat was exacerbated by fossil fuel-induced #climate change, with dry lightening + wind = deadly.
@estelle I *knew* that (nonsense) measure of "deeply rooted in this nation’s history and traditions" was going to be a long-standing problem once #SCOTUS used it. It's one of those ridiculous judicial tests that sort of appears objective, but in practice is applied subjectively and ahistorically to achieve certain preferred political/partisan ends. It makes bad #law using bad logic and relying (typically) on twisted "evidence" cherry-picked from #history.
As a lawyer & a citizen, I hate it.
