i'm going to take some indulgent relaxing time this weekend to unplug and completely NOT think about how much the people in charge of this country loathe women, and how even if trump wasn't in the emails we'd all assume it was by chance because he very openly hates women, yet somehow its not enough

Ok now I know the Epstein stuff is successfully dominating the discourse because I didn’t hear until secondhand that the McRib is back. Nice try McDonald’s

Megyn Kelly: "he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls."

Yo the thing about "barely legal" is that there is no such thing as "barely illegal".

whenever I see someone hate on canned pumpkin just because it is like, butternut squash and not pumpkin, I think "there is a person who values authenticity over flavor." which is cool for them but I'll pass on their pies

new post on the blog... another cake, this one very different than the apple cake!
An orange-filled cake from a Smith Island woman. It has layers!

I planned this to be my last year of selling books and crafts at markets. I’m enrolled in one last market where I usually do well and it funds months of my work.
… then I found out that this year the Christmas Parade is that day and now I’m basically having a crisis

Oh, *experts* predict this? Uh.... don't more millennial and Gen Z candidates HAVE TO run for office? Were more boomers going to run for office? Next thing you'll tell me more teenagers are going to enter the job market

We have a this guy in Maryland his name is John Merryman
Andrew Otazo has plucked, bagged, heaved and hauled more than 17 tons of trash from the mangroves in Florida.

Every piece of garbage he removes reclaims space for what should be there: bird nesting grounds and fish nurseries. https://wapo.st/4oS36Vx

the place in Frederick that he sued and made to change their name to "Beef n Buns in Paradise" gets the last laugh

something I think about kind of a lot is how people used to say it was creepy to go on amazon and have the site remember your name

I am reposting this link because I have made this apple cake three times; most recently for family over the weekend and someone brought my grandmother some and she emailed me about it. its so good and so autumnal.

the Mamdani campaign wasnt mean enough to do this, but finding out Wallace Shawn was canvassing makes me feel like there was a real missed opportunity for My Dinner With Andrew

I went ahead and listed the little books I made to accompany cemetery tour. Contains 19 profiles and recipes (some from tour, some not) lots of imagery. 5x7 because I love cute things.
I may expand and revise this later into some larger project who knows.

amy sherald is so amazing that as a person who has problems making eye contact with people I had a hard time looking in the eyes of her paintings. So I walked through a second time to do ONLY that and it was an intense experience.

wow so it seems like we're already entering the maîtresse-en-titre era of this aristocracy so things are moving pretty fast and maybe heads will roll sooner rather than later

Speaking of reporting spam, when I unsubscribe from an email and they’re like “it may take [any amount of time other than immediately] to stop receiving emails” I’m like… do you think we are stupid? It’s a computer. Get your shit together. If I get a single additional email I am marking it as spam.

I would like to personally thank all of the idiots who subscribe to my posts, of their own free will, only to report them as "spam". Thanks to you, no one who is on my tour has been getting their confirmation emails because google decided that my own gmail address and my domain address are spam.

I had a system worked out for my tour to run smoother and got the rug yanked out from under me at the last minute.. but the books arrived on time and look pretty good at least.
It’s hard to accept less than perfection when it was in my grasp but i need to stop trying to be the “best” and just *be*
