Someone who had stopped looking at news, asked me if ICE raids were still happening. Yes, they’re happening and now is not the time to look away. Reposted from LA Taco

Instead of staying up last night reading about all

Instead of staying up last night reading about all the f-d up things going on in the world, I listened to podcasts about all the f-d up things in the world while I made For Goodness Cakes 🎂 🧁s. It was my first attempt at cookies and cream and glad I researched what to do before I made it. I used boxed cake mix and subbed whipped egg whites for whole eggs to counter the denseness of the cookie crumbs and milk for water (I don’t remember why). For the strawberry frosting, I used cream cheese and whipping cream along with the butter, powdered sugar and dehydrated strawberries so the frosting wouldn’t be too sweet with the cookie crumbs. At first I thought this kid’s request for strawberry cake with Oreos cookies and cream and strawberry cream frosting was 🤮 but now I think she’s a culinary genius. It’s was so good I’m going to make it again but gluten free.

Did you know that the Minneapolis shooting that ki

Did you know that the Minneapolis shooting that killed two children, injured 17 and traumatized countless others wasn’t the first school shooting this year?

“There have already been four shootings at K-12 schools this school year — not including today’s shooting in Minneapolis. So far in 2025, there have been at least 57 shootings at K-12 schools,” according to Everytown for Gun Safety.

It wasn’t the first Mass Shooting either. There’s been 286. As of today, 833 kids 17 and under were shot and killed, 2,236 were injured. Total number of gun deaths is 9,801 and that doesn’t include suicide. Source: Gun Violence Archive.

I’m sharing this because I don’t know what else to do. We talk and talk about making America safer but America will never be safe when about 1/3 of the country owns a gun (PEW Research). Today’s news will be added to a long list of terrible things that happened this week, this month, this year.
