The perfect gift for family and friends.😀💜
#gift #booksky #parent #food
🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

Hilarious! We who left awhile ago knew this. Looks like some of the proof got loose, huh?

If you haven’t completely moved over, would probably be a good time, now, too.

Last November, I held a fundraiser & 100% of print sales here went to raise $1000 for @skippingstone.ca & @egalecanada.bsky.social's court case & the UCP just waved that away

And to strip Alberta Trans folks of basic human rights during Trans awareness week?

What a fucking vile group of people.

Another institute of higher learning caves to backlash against anything folks perceive as "woke." Based on a single report about one attendee's table with brochures critical of the police. St. John's is a private Catholic university that offers Criminal Justice and Homeland Security training.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

Delchi was a giant of a man in so many ways. It’s easy to forget that he was a legend in the DJ world, a master craftsman, an artist, an engineer, a pioneer and a hacker in the truest sense of the word.

His light was so bright that everything seems a little darker now.

I will miss you Brother.

During his campaign, Trump (& RFK) promised to rein in the use of dangerous pesticides, but the EPA has loosened oversight and is accelerating pesticide approvals.

Notably, the top 4 positions in the new Trump EPA’s chemical safety office are held by former pesticide and chemical industry lobbyists
Trump officials set to approve ‘forever chemical’ as pesticide ingredient
Critics say that fifth Pfas Trump’s EPA has proposed for approval this year would put food and water supply at risk

as my fellow Teen Voguers come over here I’ll be sharing their accounts, throw them a follow, offer them work, and we’ll be launching a gofundme/something similar soon!
I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

If you read an amazing article from Teen Vogue about politics in the last several years, chances are that Lex McMenamin wrote it. Any publication that is serious about meeting this moment would be lucky to have them.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I'm seriously happy to see people repeating the "Garbage in, garbage out" thing regarding AI and huge problems with foundation models.
AI is only as good as the data fed into it. Garbage in, garbage out.
