Resurrecting my presence on Twitter to say that this was a fun one!

If you've ever asked for recs in Somerville, you'll know that @rebelrebelsomerville & Dear Annie will always be at the top, so it was such a joy to have @vin_drop on @gastropodcast to talk champagne! 1/ https://t.co/y3Y0UwQL4L

@RogueChocolate Hot Trends For This Fall

Write? Today? Isn’t it selfish to do art in a moment like this? I want to affirm in you that making art--any art--is one of the most radical things you can be doing right now. When the world wants to burn, as people try to tear things down, you create, and create, and create.

A brutal story about the ways in which we deny federal assistance to those who most need it. We make people fight and beg in the name of preventing fraud.
Often we just prevent those with the fewest resources from getting much needed help. @hannahdreier https://t.co/mDyZiW7p3n

this is it.

"These behaviors that we see and that we sometimes pathologize are not rooted in Blackness or the Black experience," Gaylord-Harden told me. "They’re rooted in traumatic stress.”

@linecook been dehydrated for 20 years every day is a gift

@RogueChocolate yeah that is definitely the point, but I am currently mid-permit-nightmare so. had to take it there. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Lauren Friel @vin_drop]

@RogueChocolate Teaching kids about how to get permits is useless. Folks in my industry know permits are issued ONLY during rare celestial alignments, of which city officials have secret knowledge. I think sometimes they’re also given during butterfly mating szn, but I’ve never seen it happen.

We don’t need to “reimagine policing.”

We need to examine the meaning of “public safety.”

Billions upon billions are spent on policing & we are not safe.

Housing is safety. Healthcare is safety. Funding things that actually prevent social instability & conflict is safety.

I mean fine dining has been putting popped sorghum on fancy salads for years but yea let’s go off on popcorn salad

Once people get vaccinated and we start mingling again, don't ask me "how are you?" or "what's new?"

We're only doing deep and weird conversation starters from now on.

"Hi! You look great! Drinks are on the patio. What's holding you back from being the person you want to be?"

@novascotiamusic can confirm dogs catch both mice and rats—mine caught 2 little guys and 3 big guys this month so far. it is truly grotesque.
