Mushroom, Leek and White Wine Pasta 🍷

This creamy, savory pasta dish comes together without the need to boil the pasta separately. Savory sautéed mushrooms and gently sweet leeks combine with cream, lemon juice, and white wine to create the rich sauce. Feel free to switch up the flavor by adding tarragon instead of dill.

Vasyl Semenovych Stus, Ukrainian poet, was born today (1938-1985)
He spoke about the need to preserve and develop Ukrainian culture, for which he was repressed by the Soviet dictatorship. His work was banned. He was sentenced to a long stay in prison, where he died.

TimeCrimes (2007 Spain) This head spinning time travel/paradox film was written/directed/stars Nacho Vigalondo. This is one movie you can’t turn your brain off and just sink into the sofa after a hard workday. Wait til the weekend. Time travel can make your head hurt (in a good way) with paradoxes and this one proves it. Thinking up all the time threads that have to be neatly put in their place can be a challenge but Vigalondo goes big, takes a risk and pulls it off. You're not going to find epic cinematography or production design. It’s a low budget writing focused film and I’m here for it. I really enjoyed it but ended the film with WTF. I love WTF. It’s better than “I’ve seen the same damn plot like twenty times in the past month”. Hollywood has an issue with imagination as in they are remaking the same story over and over like an effing time loop. So I love to see something trippy and unique. It was supposed to be remade in English but got trapped in development hell. Find it rentable on most streaming. #SciFi #Sci-Fi #ScienceFiction #Film #FilmFan #Films #Cinema #Movie #Movies

Do you know what beautiful Ukrainian fields are sown with sunflowers? When I look at a sunflower, I am filled with energy and peace. I am like that sunflower looking for the sun in this world🌻

REPORT: the Great Salt Lake will dry up within 5 years due to climate change

The GOP response:

“Nazis aren’t not even that bad. This one time at band camp, the Nazis and I made a cake and then we gave the cake to some children and the children ate the cake and they said the cake was really good. That was when I got my first Nobel Peace Prize.

True story.”
- George Santos

This makes sense.

If you aren’t familiar with the Overton Window, it’s an important concept that means the acceptable range of discourse between the far left and far right.

Every time you platform a fascist like Lauren Boebert and treat her like a politician instead of a fucking criminal, you move the Overton Window to where SHE WANTS.

This is precisely why we are in the situation we’re in.

Accepting that our government is "of, by, and for the people" doesn't mean accepting our Govt is perfect.

It means affirming the value of representative government, electing the best person for the job, and then holding them accountable to ensure justice for ALL people in America.

The Party of Lincoln no longer believes any of this. Hence, the Party of Lincoln is long dead. It's now the party of Reagan/Trump & it's grounded in cruelty, every person for themselves, & no actual accomplishments.
