hey y'all. back from the twitter dead (yeah, I said twitter) and planning to use this space for a bit more of a thoughtful log/discussion of food writing, cooking, sustainability, agriculture, etc.
(if you're still here from high school, hi.)
Love this @vittlesmagazine piece by Mina Miller on the “persistent samey-ness” of food content – and how, at costs we might not even realize we are incurring, life increasingly seems to imitate internet.

Something this article notes but the tweet does not: All of those losses are among Black and Latina women. White women, like white men, gained jobs in December.

I don't think I've ever seen an opening 3 minutes of a network evening news broadcast quite like this.
It's several statements of fact, and recounting of events today, that appear unbelievable & unexplainable. I'm not sure the future will properly comprehend this moment.

From the guy who brought you “the reason there are so many cases is because we are doing too many tests” comes the new hit single “I’m only losing because they’re counting all the votes against me”
reminder: take a deep breath. stop watching the news. go for a walk. keep walking until you're in a new country with automatic voter registration. start a new life
