  2. CW: Food, birthday

    Hi all, and thank you for all the birthday wishes!

    I'm back from my day out with my mom, and we had a really good time. We hung out at home until about 2 PM, then headed to my ocularist appointment. That went well. I liked the ocularist. She just took impressions of my eye sockets this time and explained the process to us. It'll take several more visits before I actually get new prosthetics. I handled the impressions surprisingly well given my autism, though my eyes were irritated for a while afterward.

    After that, we went to an amazing seafood place in San Antonio called Mambo’s Seafood. We had a crab and shrimp boil with crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, and corn. We also ordered rice with meat and vegetables to go with it, plus fried fish bites for an appetizer. I asked for Dr. Pepper to drink, but they didn't have that, so I got Mr. Pibb. I didn't eat the corn since it was a bit spicy and we were trying not to irritate my stomach too much. There was sauce, called Mambo's Sauce, for the crab and shrimp. My mom tried it and said it was way too spicy, so I ate mine plain, which was still very good.

    My mom is a pro at cracking crab legs, so she had to help me a few times. I've had crab legs several times in my lifetime, though not nearly as much as my mom. She grew up poor but had family members who ran shrimp boats, so she ate them often. I've never managed to master cracking them, possibly because we only get them a couple times per year at most. It was our first time at Mambo’s, and it definitely didn't disappoint.

    Next stop was Starbucks, where I got my usual Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino and a brownie. Then we swung by the grocery store, where my mom picked me up a cake, some flowers, and a few groceries we needed. The cake was chocolate raspberry with chocolate icing and curls. I had a slice with a glass of milk a little while ago, and I'm so full after all that!

    I love chocolate, the richer the better. My mom originally wanted to get Tres Leches so she could enjoy some too, but she asked me what I wanted and said if I really wanted chocolate, we could get chocolate. I said I did. When we got home, she tried some and said it was "a little too rich" for her. I'll probably be eating most of the cake myself over the next several days. We often do what we call "breakfast cake" (cake for breakfast) when we have it, so that's probably what I'll have in the morning.

    Overall, I had a wonderful birthday and got to spend some quality time with my mom. I probably pigged out more than I should have given my digestive conditions, but I rarely do that, and the food was so good it was worth it.

    Now I'm comfy in a nightgown. I think I'm about to go get my dog Squeaker, get him in his kennel, get some water, and then maybe go to bed myself. I hoped I'd feel up to getting some things done after we got home, but all that food made me sleepy, lol, and a day out always wears me out.

  3. Latest news on Starbucks strike in #USA
    [from email sent to supporters on Nov. 20, 2025]

    mailchi.mp/8cf687a615fc/is-sta

    Yesterday, we escalated our #UnfairLaborPractice #strike by heading straight to York, Pennsylvania, home to #Starbucks’ biggest East Coast distribution center with a message: If Starbucks won’t meet us at the table, we’ll meet them at their supply chain. We'll keep escalating, or we'll bring the picket line to them.

  5. CW: Unarmada for Gaza: Long bars, extreme content

    #systemic #LossOfTrust and marbles
    too far gone to term #debacle
    what price our #rules ? who are the #adults ?
    #SomethingSlouches up larval
    justified by underhand fools
    underlined by all the parcels
    the #UK flies like guns were power tools
    what’s inna box – “divulge, arseholes!”
    #pundits hardly #MissMarple
    with neither insight, wits nor jewels
    all of this was out in the open
    the #animus was right before you
    #FirehoseOfShite and sparkle
    keep that boy inna hole: rascal
    all you claiming glass is half-full
    why they always hate on #MeganMarkle?
    import upside down and garbled
    they terrorised and you but startled
    they amputated, your #metatarsal
    got abrased when your sparkly tiara fall
    #Germany a #goosestep from “ja, wohl”
    #Italy riding dirty; #JaRule
    #NullPoints #France #antifa #PasDeTout
    #PerfidiousIsle all #viddy and #yarble
    #varken inna trough – snouts snarfle
    #parsimony for us: #YAML
    #zionist ’s speech; they like the #Nazgul
    ours weak inna sauce too impartial
    full tunnel vision must be carpal
    bears no relation to our #truth at all – fuck all
    crash the #Starlink, sack the #Starbucks
    sow it in the barren field we growing our fucks
    I know what a fucking #carbine does
    to the heart of a child who is #NotLikeUs
    tell mama; it works like a charm my love
    no drama; it’s under the car my love
    bizarro; I know that I bar quite rough
    is it really worse than what the far right does?
    you #Can'tLieToUs, you #CantBuyTrust
    #MurderIsMurder and #halflife ’s worse
    and worse still is bombed and starved while #trucks
    full of food aren’t far behind and you’re tied up

  6. #3goodthings

    1. Enjoyed reading Somerset Maugham's short story "The Book-Bag" while sitting in a diner eating a cheese, pepper, and ham omelette with home fries.

    2. In Starbucks, the barista told me how she and her coworkers like to dip madeleines in cold foam. She gave me a free cup so I could try it out. Delicious!

    3. Two Kpop groups put out performance videos that I had been wanting to see.

  8. @ZDF da können wir alle etwas tun:
    meidet
    #Starbucks & Co.,
    #Nestle #Nespresso & alle Kapselsysteme,
    #Discounter mit Billigangeboten
    • und auch #Fairtrade (die sind wenig besser).

    Geht zu #Directtrade. Die kaufen bei kleineren Bauern, kümmern sich um Qualität und zahlen mehr. Es gibt viele kleine Röstereien hier inzwischen auch. Da kostet der #Kaffee mehr (nicht ggü Kapseln!) - aber man muss ihn ja auch nicht literweise trinken.

    Und fordert Eure Arbeitgeber!
