My all time favorite soup. I need to make this.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 16h

The appeal of this comforting and easy soup endures: The combination of mini meatballs, pasta and greens in savory chicken broth, topped with a sprinkling of Parmesan, is always a crowd pleaser.

HE doesn’t need to keep putting himself in situations where his blood pressure is up like that, especially since I remember him having a pretty bad cardiac emergency, AND I’m glad their audience got to see him react for once.

After *personally* dealing with academics who think they are tough but are just nerds who happen to be black and are related to niggas, I’m glad that there are a few who are just niggas and smart.

I understand a little more why MLH is on the pump it up podcast. After seeing him blow up on the other dude, I think it’s fine for a certain type of nigga with a PhD be their authentic self.

Exactly. And I’ve seen folx say “well some museums (the private ones) will still be open.” True but that’s the opposite of the point.

La Bodega Baddie 🇵🇷 @zeenthecity.bsky.social · 2d

I didn’t even think about that. No museums. The kids can’t even go to the zoo.

Jasmine @jasminedaria.bsky.social · 2d

Today was actually the last day.

Jolly Mann @jollymann.bsky.social · 2d

The museums were jumping downtown today. That’s because tomorrow the last day for most or all gonna be open.

Cuz I’m also enjoying the inverse of black folx learning and eating up these dances at “line dance” bars frequented by majority yt folx. Esp this dance they’re doing to Da Baby’s song Phat 😂

Jasmine @jasminedaria.bsky.social · 3d

I see it very frequently with these line dances going viral on trailridetok. Lots and LOTs of mentioning “dc: “. I personally love to see it.
