The FDA is urging customers to toss certain brands of grated Pecorino Romano; at the same time, it escalated an existing recall of numerous shredded cheeses. n.pr/48yohW6
Check your cheese: Shredded and grated varieties are recalled nationwide

Shame on Northwestern. What utterly disgraceful decision. May those responsible be called to account.

As soon as I sat down, my SIL's cat was under the table laying claim to my shins. (I love this cat and am very allergic to him.) Sneaky adorable little shit.

This is an incredibly powerful piece, impeccably researched, and everyone should take the time to read it. It clarifies a lot of things I’ve instinctually felt but haven’t quite had the words to describe.
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.

Rice Truck mentioned, gotta re-up the Saga just in case anyone hasn't read it--or if you're like me and just wanted to read it again

a cancer nurse in a state I've never been to told messaged me and said that reading out Rice Truck aloud as it happened was the only day in her entire 14 year career on chemo ward that nobody cried and it's probably the best compliment I will ever get in my life
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Finally got the massage I've been promising myself for months. I think my constituent parts may actually be held together by connective tissue and not stress.

My favorite way to eat raspberries is to buy a package when they're on sale, wash them, put them in a dish right in the front of the fridge, and forget about them. Then every time I open the fridge I notice them and say, "Ooh, raspberry!" and eat one.

Science will often take you to unexpected and delightful places. In this study, researchers hypothesized that riders in a crowded subway car would be more likely to offer their seat to a pregnant person if there were someone in the subway car dressed as Batman 🧪🦇
