Vegan Blueberry Zucchini Bread
This recipe took a few different tries to get it perfect and after 2 years of sitting on the final recipe, I’m finally sharing it! I love this recipe so much.

I fondly remember George Carlin giving a 5-minute monologue as part of his stand-up act talking about stuff.

Other frontlines: Third-country nationals fleeing the war in Ukraine are not welcome in EU

(AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)After having to flee the war in Ukraine, most third-country nationals are now trapped in legal limbo, with little to no options to stay in Europe.
