And breaking them down is worth it if you don't buy 100 pounds of frozen turkey with no place to thaw it! 😂
Again, turkeys are 70-80% off from today onwards and last a year in the freezer.

If you’ve got a chest freezer in the garage that’s good soup, stew, and smoker meat for the whole winter for a really good price.

I’m usually very aggressively “Thanksgiving and Pesach are VERY DIFFERENT OKAY” but I have realized that what they do have in common is “Sara gets blisters from cutting sweet potatoes and winter squash”

4 was presenting his fraction toys to me, and I was naming them, and when I did 1/4 and 1/5, I broke into song. he did not appreciate it.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

People are more interested in the welfare and sentience of ChatGPT than they are in the welfare of actual human beings and it’s so fucking bleak

Every economy op-ed writer: No see, you can't buy a house because you buy too many avocado toasts but you're hurting the economy by not buying a new $1,000 phone each year. I am very smart. Also don't ask me about my emails with Epstein.

Experiment, write down your grandma’s and your bestie’s recipes, get the rest from cookbooks 🤷🏻‍♀️
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

I don’t think it’s 100% millennial nostalgia (okay, 20% tops) but a lot 90s kids shows just hit different. and better. Steve and Blue are so chill, so completely unbothered. they are emotionally regulated icons and I love them.

Remember as you gear up for family gatherings this week, if anyone asks “are you still doing that writing thing?” you ARE entitled to challenge them to single combat.

Can you spread the word about weaintbuyingit.com? This is one of the easiest and safest ways possible to fight back against the current administration. If you've been saying there's nothing you can do - you're wrong! All you have to do is not buy from Amazon, Home Depot, or Target for five days.

CDC supportive of people who’d rather their kids die than be autistic
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.
