It's the time of year when Starbucks has the most seasonal blends on its menu, so you may not want to mix it up from the Irish creams, salted mochas and other awesome beverages they have right now. But if you're like me and you need to cut the sugar down, or you just want something really unique, you could always customize your drink to the max.
It's the time of year when a lot of people love to bake, but sometimes you really just want a single, really good cookie that's still fresh. That's why places like Hello Robin are so wonderful.
Hello Robin started with an exchange of baked treats for chickens, which I love so much. They have both vegan and non-vegan cookies as well as a regular lineup and seasonal favorites. Right now they have a Hot Cocoa Cookie and a Peppermint Chocolate Chip!
Back before I became a parent, I used to write poetry daily. AllPoetry was one of my favorite places to share it, critique others' poems and, most of all, take part in challenges and contests by other poets. Sometimes I'd eve host my own.
AllPoetry also has a helpful newsletter, so if you don't like the idea of sharing your writing with others, you can always just sign up for that to receive poetry prompts, book suggestions, writing tips and more in your inbox.
The octopus is one of my favorite animals and I'm never not fascinated by the creature. This week I saw a photo of one with a transparent head that is nothing short of amazing.
As a former vegetarian who knows most of our meat animals are treated poorly and that we need to cut down on meat production if we want to keep this planet as our home, I'm eager to embrace no-kill meat grown in a lab... as long as it's safe and ethically produced. Given how much garbage is already approved to be consumed, at least in the U.S., I have no doubt that it's possible such a product could be unsafe. But it could also be just what we need, so I'm following news like this closely.
Family Guy isn't the only adult cartoon around, and many people prefer shows like South Park, Bob's Burgers or Big Mouth instead of visiting the Griffins each week. It's cool to have so many options for so many tastes!
As a teenager I was a big South Park fan into my college years, and my husband always enjoyed The Simpsons and Futurama. Lately there are even more adult cartoons than ever to choose from on several different platforms.
A friend once told me that she'd never keep cats in her house because she didn't want a pet who would poop in a box inside her house. Fair enough, but we still have to clean up dog poop in the yard, and so did she! At any rate, nobody likes doing the litter boxes, and this company is trying to change the way we do that.
A friend of mine recently shared a bunch of weird 50s recipes that people used to actually eat and they are absolutely mind-boggling. There's food shaped like candles. There's "bridal meat dolls," whatever those are! There are so many disturbing foods that I'm not even hungry anymore looking through them!

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) just published a report that concludes that actions to mitigate risks to the U.S. domestic uranium supply change could be better planned and coordinated. Among other recommendations, the GAO suggests improving cost estimates to support funding requests for the proposed uranium reserve.

Frankly I'd rather hear about some new cryptids proven to exist than hear more about these flat-earther people, but they exist nonetheless and they're making plans to visit Antarctica to prove their theories correct. Because... cold equals flat?
Nope: they say it's all about getting the distance of the coast of Antarctica. Yep, that's it.
As a frog lover with a sense of humor, I have to say that I think the new Jabba the Hutt Paddy Frog Sipper souvenir cup is hilarious. The best thing about Disney taking over Star Wars is all of the innovative merch the company has launched, and this is a pretty innovative cup!
