I love Christmas, and I love spending the day with family and exchanging gifts. But my favorite part of the day is the suspension of food rules, and dinner is potato chips, garlic bread, and Hershey's Kisses, because those are the easiest to grab.

In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness.

Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

Not much to offer different than what I'm reposting beyond: you will be okay; you have no choice.

I'll post the video again, highly recommend. Dooming is a privilege. Those who've been oppressed b4 already know optimism is not optional: it's "itll be ok" or die.

You gonna die? To **these** hos?

We are seeing systemic injustice being built in real-time. Someone (RFK Jr) in a position of authority (Dir. HHS) is actively advocating against a targeted group (autistic ppl) and using that authority to enact official policies seeking their disenfranchisement.

What if TikTok were a nonprofit? A platform to allow small businesses/entertainers to engage with users and promote their goods/services without needing an advertising budget, a shop to sell things on that helps pay for the org, and paid advertisements are a tax write-off.

Every decision I make will be predicated by the question “will this choice, or the intention behind it, piss off conservative white men?”. If the answer’s yes, then I know it’s good.

Probably my biggest cooking pet peeve is when onions won’t peel quickly.

Your peel comes off in atomic-sized bits, and then you have the gall to sting MY eyes? I’m no longer cooking you simply for sustenance, my mortal enemy. I’m cooking you for revenge.
