Thinking about pies and one pie I haven't had in over 30 years, since my grandma used to make them as a teen, is gooseberry pie. But they were delicious 😋!

6am sunrise, in the hot tub with champagne, Dove bars, and fettuccine alfredo! After a night of acid, cocaine, grass, chartreuse, cigarettes, coffee etc. while writing.
Look leaving aside the prose, it is a deep insult to the memory of Hunter S. Thompson to argue that he was "the perfect dinner party companion". And let's not even start on the question of "could Nuzzi hang with him" because lol no, she wouldn't last 10 minutes.

“All States produce some pumpkins, but six States produce most of them.” IL topped the list, producing 630m pounds of pumpkins in 2022. “The next 5 largest pumpkin-producing States by weight were IN w/160m pounds, CA w/120m pounds, MI and PA w/90m pounds each, and VA w/50m pounds.”
Immigrants are among the essential farmworkers who help harvest approximately two billion pumpkins so we can all carve, decorate, and bake our way through the fall. ICYMI at @americasvoice.bsky.social: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/dont-ghost...
Don't Ghost The Immigrant Farmworkers Behind Every Pumpkin Harvest
Every fall, immigrants are among the farmworkers who harvest billions (yes, billions!) of pumpkins so families can carve, decorate, and bake their way through the spooky season.

I got a few from total strangers that seem to find me through google scholar, not sure what do to other than ignore as I can't tell what's real/scam, & wouldn't write for strangers either. #academicsky
