Spring cooking. That’s it.

Ashley Etienne on NBC just now said, “I’m smiling so much because of Gavin Newsom” and if that isn’t emblematic of the Democratic Party’s addiction to mediocre white men who turn out to be disappointments I don’t what is.

This made me giggle so good work.

This.

Yes but Kevin, boycotting a politician because they support corporate tax breaks or think Defense should be funded at $X when I believe it should be funded at $Y is drastically different than boycotting someone who is willing to “compromise” on my basic human rights.

Absolutely gorgeous country, but the food? I don’t think I could do it. (At least in the Flemish part of the country.)

All of the people immediately around us started laughing and the young guy sitting across the aisle from my husband stood up, walked up to this woman (who is six rows ahead, that’s how loud it was) and told her to turn her phone off. She did. (3/?)

45 min later we’re sitting here on the tarmac, sweating, no gate yet. Someone has been having an entire phone conversation on speaker phone for the last 15 minutes. I finally passively aggressively out loud said “I’m going to fucking lose it if this lady keeps talking on speaker phone.” (2/?)

Travel Is A Nightmare: A saga. (I will update this thread.) Well. As we were taxiing towards the runway we stopped. Now going back to the gate because one of the left engines (the one that controls pressurization? If I understood the pilot) is not functioning properly. (1/?)

I am “get on the plane and immediately put the pillow behind my lower back” years old.

Counterpoint - your parents are never too old to find new ways to disappoint you.

The older I get the more tattoos I want and you know what? I think I might just go for it. We can’t take our flesh bags with us!

I had two beers at Barktoberfest this weekend and ended up buying this giant tomato vase from an interior designer.

My only hope, in the face of this loss, is that gravitational pull of this Rule of Threes activation brings down the Orange One.

This is true and they are super endangered by poachers who shovel them up by the hundreds and sell them at flea markets and shit. You should not buy the plants and if you happen to kick the poacher in the shins on accident, no one will hear about it from me.

Made another mortadella platter for a work potluck earlier this week. Thinking this might become my signature party offer.

Chuseok dinner last night was amazing. I think I will now start celebrating Korean Thanksgiving each year in addition to American Thanksgiving.

Pretty much my favorite time of year at the farmers’ market.

People who don’t know how to mute/unmute themselves on Zoom in 2025 are my ultimate nemesis.

Correct move.

This did some numbers on TikTok and also made some people BIG MAD, so sharing it here with a disclaimer: if you feel like my choices are a personal insult then you should try therapy, not me.

You got this friend!

Obsessed with this gremlin.

It’s not a true charcuter-arm without a baguette!

Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC would be a great venue!

White gays who adopt AAVE as an affectation: maybe don’t?

I’m at an event and was just reminded of why I try to interact with straight men as little as possible:

Woman (swatting away a bee, clearly afraid): Oh no! He’s back!

Her friend’s Husband: *She’s* back, actually.

I really need it to be colder so that I can wear all the sweaters and vests and coats I can’t stop myself from buying.
