It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

I think I was a meemaw in a past life. I made this beauty (and a bunch more) to go with some chicken & vegetable stew #BiscuitPorn

In one of those videos they were using the turkey to clean the gutters, you can see the leaves in the gutters still burning!

Ground rules for frying a turkey:
1) Outside
2) Fire Plan
1) Thaw completely (check the inside cavity!)
2) Dry completely
3) Account for liquid displacement
Don't do any of this.

Normally I'm a "wait until Thanksgiving to start Christmas stuff" kinda person, but it's been a pretty shit year so I say bring on the Santa and the jolly. Crank the Donny Hathaway and pour me a hot toddy.

It's fall, so time to make some fall spice syrup. No pumpkin in this, it has all the warming spices and a mix of white and brown sugar to give it plenty of caramel notes. Toasted the spices for 30 seconds, bring to a boil, then simmer 45 minutes.

I really feel for my neighbors who are on furlough. They're not going to go hungry, but that doesn't mean they're not going to face struggles this winter. One is saying he thinks this will go through November, the other works at a department that is actively trying to get everyone to quit (EPA)

Where the hell was this fire 25 years ago?
Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.
