It's always fun when the Grateful Dead release a bunch of their old, unreleased material so we can hear old favorites in a new way--not to mention anything else the band wanted to play that night. Any concert lover knows that every single experience is different; that's why so many of us will travel to see all of the shows from a single band.
There's never a shortage of food trucks or incredible flavors in Seattle, but there was a shortage of Native American-inspired Soul food--until Native Soul Cuisine. Now you can experience some of the tastiest flavors you may have never even heard of, courtesy of Chef Jeremy Thunderbird.
This cute TikTok is sure to get most people to smile: a cat decided to introduce her kitten to her owner's baby. The cat, a two-year-old ragdoll, places her kitten next to the baby as if to show it off. Her owner playfully asks why and gives the cat a voice, responding that it's so they can play together. The whole thing is adorable and worth a watch.
A yellow-bellied marmot just hitchhiked hundreds of miles from home, ending up in Arizona after it jumped in a vehicle in Colorado! The critter had been reported for the weird behavior, with people claiming they'd seen a marmot trying to get into people's cars, and it looks like it successfully stowed away in one of them.
No known treatment exists for a new deadly illness that is effecting songbirds. Scientists don't know what the disease is or how it's killing so many birds, but otherwise healthy birds are turning up lethargic, with oozing eyes and the inability to hold their balance before they succumb to the disease.
If you're like me, you'll never take anyone who claims they're all about freedom and less government intrusion seriously if they fight to restrict abortion access to people who own a uterus. Pregnancy is an extremely dangerous condition, resulting in over 800 deaths per day and even more injuries, illnesses and permanent disability, yet people act like it's a walk in the park. This is why the reaction to the coronavirus shouldn't have surprised any of us.
Years ago my kiddo and I saw a Star Wars parody with puppets and fell in love. My kid loves to act and sing; I write. So I thought it would be brilliant for us to do a similar show but about Stranger Things! Unfortunately my kiddo, now a teen, wasn't interested, so the idea fell to the side. Now Stranger Things has been made into a musical comedy that is sure to delight fans!
One of my favorite indie teamakers just stopped selling my favorite orange creamsicle blend, so I've been trying to find another source for my favorite flavor. As a result, I keep falling into rabbit holes, getting lost among so many wonderful-looking teamakers. Today it's Big Heart Tea.
If you love the whole red, white and blue theme for summer, you should check out the Smith Tea Summer Celebration Kit. It features twelve sachets, four each of three flavors, each making a quart of tea. The red is a hibiscus mango blend, which is sure to be a hit with kids! Hibiscus tea is a lot like cherry kool-aid, which is a tip I wish I'd used when my teen was little.
A great banana pudding is tough to top. It will make your mouth water and not taste like the inside of a refrigerator. But how do you make one rich and decadent? If you're Magnolia Bakery, famous for this dessert, you know how to make it gluten-free--and you might add some sweetened condensed milk to make it even more decadent. Yum!
For those of us wondering if we're actually living in a simulation over the past few years, the last day seems to have confirmed it. A billionaire who profited off exploiting workers and a pandemic just wasted a chunk of his fortune on sending himself to space and back. Upon his return, he gave away $100 million to a chef and a CNN contributor, proving that he is willing to give his money away, but not to, you know, solve homelessness or hunger.
Getting bored of the same old salad isn't unusual, especially if you try to incorporate lots of leafy greens into your day via salad. Sure, it's healthy, but at what cost? All joking aside, curing the salad boredom can be as easy as mixing up an ingredient or two.
Like many crafters, I am a sticker lover. And like many sticker lovers, I am picky about my stickers! It's not that I'm not going to enjoy using the free stickers that come with junk mail or the ones that a loved one finds and gives me, but I'm going to light up when I find my favorites. If you're like me, you're always looking at different stickers or washi tape on Etsy, drooling over the possibilities!
This summer I've been doing a lot of volunteer work so I haven't had as much time to read my TBR as I normally do, but I haven't forgotten Sci-Fi July! Goodreads just had their Sci-Fi and Fantasy Week, which is a smaller version. In my Sci-Fi July group, we make BINGO cards to try and hit as many categories as possible.

Research into small-scale nuclear energy conversion has made advances in reactor safety with the development of sodium-cooled reactors and molten salt nuclear technology. While the technology itself is feasible, a remaining problem is the need to negotiate to gain permission to pass through several channels and ports internationally.
Nuclear material couriers (NMCs) transport nuclear bombs and other dangerous materials around the U.S. The fleet that transports these materials is operated by the Office of Secure Transportation (OST) which is part of National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency in the U.S. Department of Energy. The DoE recruits nuclear couriers year-round.
