There have been several interesting stories in poetry news this week:
Australian Poetry Month has just begun and poet Grace Tame began the festivities by reading her poem, "The Unscathed are Most Scathing." Other events include workshops, more poetry readings and poetry commissions.
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane made some comments on Twitter about how he not only wishes that his show were no longer on the Fox network, but that he would prefer it to be on any other network other than the one that hosts Tucker Carlson. The comment was made following another Carlson tweet that MacFarlane didn't agree with.
People who love the whole drive-in style way of eating should definitely hit the Top Burger Drive-In in Camas at some point. This old school eatery brings the food right to your car, and now they have the options for takeout, phone-in orders, walk-ups and drive-thru, making it more accessible than ever.
Much like the mysterious bird deaths happening on the Eastern seaboard right now, Australia's frogs are turning up inexplicably dead for no known reason. People keep reporting sightings of dead, shriveled up frogs, and the mass numbers of them are very strange.
Prior to their deaths, the frogs appear sluggish, and a different color than normal. Most frogs affected look lighter or darker than their normal color. They may be out in the daytime and have red appendages, which is also very odd for the animal. Hopefully scientists will be able to assess what's happening to them soon.
Everyone loves the Dancing Bears, but there's something extra cool about the skulls and skeletons used in Grateful Dead logos and art. When a mostly-full-sized skeleton is included in the art it's even more gorgeous, as is the case with this beautiful pair of board shorts.
Fall candles have arrived at Bath & Body Works, and today they are on sale for $8!
The air fryer is one of the best modern cooking inventions, not only speeding up the frying process but often cutting calories in the process. There are so many fun ways to cook little bites in the air fryer. You can even try frying things like Lunchables or a sub sandwich if you like! Reheating French Fries is finally doable with an air fryer, too.
While fall drinks begin to roll out at coffee shops across the United States, there's still time to enjoy many a summer drink before we welcome fall come mid-September. Lemon and strawberry are two of my favorite flavors for this time of year, and blending them together is the epitome of summertime.
Moving into a new home is a joyous, if stressful occasion on its own without the addition of hundreds of thousands of bees, but that's what happened to the Weaver family when they moved into their new home in Pennsylvania. When the two moved in, they were well aware that the fact that there were "bees in the walls" was an issue, but they had no idea how many!
While Americans are often eager to declare ourselves number one, sadly our nation comes in last, or near last, in several important areas. One of those is healthcare. Among high-income countries, America ranks last in terms of healthcare. This rating factors in access, equity and outcomes regarding healthcare for citizens, which makes this report even sadder to read.
With Starbucks already releasing fall beverages this month, there's almost pressure to chase after a few summer drinks before it's over, even though the last day of summer isn't even until next month! Still, enjoying lemonade and lemony drinks over the summer is one of the best ways to end the summer, so why not plan a few drinks?
After public outcry, pressure and CDC recommendations, President Biden has extended the ban on evictions for another sixty days for areas impacted by Covid-19. It will still expire in October, and while the move is a helpfu one for assisting families facing hardship right now, it doesn't give them the means to address the hardship itself.
Even fans of American Horror Story seem to have a love/hate relationship with the show, whether that's due to the varying levels of horror between seasons or the many shock factors that often seem insensitive that push some of us away from an otherwise really interesting, fun series. Whether you're in love or not with the last season you saw, the new AHS cafe is sure to pique your interest.
As longtime readers know, we're always on the lookout for delicious treats that are low in sugar, so when we heard about Academy of Treats we knew we had to try them out. After ordering them from Etsy last week (it turns out they have a website with better deals) they arrived in a few short days and wow, were we impressed!
