@BasMelechPenina Please keep me posted. Also, what book is this from?

[Avery Robinson @savoryrobinson]

@FredSiggins I'm wondering if Wisconsin cocktail culture (heavy on brandy + rye whiskey) had any influence on the "New York Sazerac" you explore in https://t.co/0f4TT3NXjC via @punch_drink

[Avery Robinson @savoryrobinson]

@MikhlDarling Anything on rye is definitely my Torah

@annygaul @aliciakennedy Yes 🏆🏆!!

I read it a few years ago and reference it often to peers, but couldn't remember the name or author

Thank you so much

[Avery Robinson @savoryrobinson]

@annygaul @aliciakennedy Any chance you can help me w/ a Turkish/Persian/Arabic pasty history book that traces lukum, baklava, sherbet, and other delicacies? The book traces baklava (to Azerbaijan) and explains Turkish history of many Italian treats

I think it came out in early 2010s . . .

@miriamudel A related answer: I think Anita Norich's 𝑊𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑛 𝑇𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑢𝑒𝑠, or at the very least an excerpt (if for undergrads) ought to be on the syllabus

Instead of “going public,” you could say we’re “going purpose.” Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth.

Struggling with Barukh Almanzi's very Italian Hebrew hand in this Masekhet Purim, but it looks like he's translating some of the Hebrew names for the food at a party in the book - including lasagna!

They really knew how to make a book in the 19th century: Grace Aguilar's "Women of Israel" from @columbialib's historic children's literature collection. (Also note prior ownership 🧐)

[The G.L.O.A.T. @LakeSuperior]

@TomFitton Thomas, not even your first talking point is correct. Water is not wet, what water touches is wet.

I'm confident I have a lot more experience in making things wet than you do.

"A new @Oxfam report called 'Profiting from Pain' found that a new billionaire was created every 30 hours during the global pandemic. But nearly 1 million people were pushed into extreme poverty at nearly the same rate in 2022 alone."

Under Abbott, Texas has experienced 4 of the 30 deadliest mass shootings in American history.

How did he respond? By making it easier for another one to happen.

How do we respond? By voting him out and preventing the next one.

Will Smith slapping Chris Rock stayed in the news cycle longer than 10 black people being slaughtered in a supermarket.

Sad.

Important read on the problems of revisionist history and glossing over female achievements (then and now) via @lithub @SaraFranklin10 https://t.co/kn8HS0rwjL

[Avery Robinson @savoryrobinson]

@shvlman This looks like an early modern plague doctor mask. Like something you'd see people wearing in ca. 1648 Florence. Maybe Lilith was associated with the demons of disease...

With climate risk mounting, @SECgov has taken a critical step to support investors by standardizing disclosure. Thank you @garygensler for proposing a climate disclosure rule. We’re eager to comment. #ClimateDisclosureNow https://t.co/UZTS1OkgRn

Women should be respected, paid equally, live free from sexual harassment and the law should leave their bodies alone.
