Amazing!! I loved those too 💚

Yummy jasmine rice!! Very intrigued by creme de menthe…

Lily of the valley always smells soapy to me (in the wrong way)

My favourite! Absolutely beautiful 🤩

Perimenopause is a bitch for giving me 2-3 hours wide awake in the small hours most nights 🤯

Close up of the shiny black painted interior of a toilet cubicle door. Graffiti in neon yellow thin marker pen says ‘Permanent nonsense’ in all caps handwriting

This was on the inside of the toilet door at the gig I went to last night and just seems to sum up everything really…

A highlight of last night I'm not seeing much today:

Spanberger, Shirrell, and Mamdani all won clear majorities of young male voters last night.

Honestly TELL THE STORY. Won’t someone just tell the fucking story of how Brexit created this economic hardship, how a Muslim immigrant just saved the lives of those commuters on that train, won’t someone in politics or even media just connect the fucking dots and TELL THE STORY. IT’S RIGHT THERE

This is the kind of thing which makes me think better things are possible.

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

three sheets of paper are taped to the outside of a building. they have the words "The Oval Office" in gold script

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

That sounds great!!

Love Anka Kus! Jezebel and Los Vientos de Santa Ana are my faves

One of my Autumn faves from Pineward!

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Aka, dictator chic

I told him that I was born in Russia and was a writer. He showed me a list he’d written of his favourite desserts in the city. It was a sober hobby he’d started during the pandemic, going to restaurants by himself, sampling sweets. He made a lot of lists, he said, most of them food-related. I asked what other kinds he made. “Lists of lies liberal white women tell about Donald Trump,” he replied. Suddenly, his leg was shaking. He grabbed the edges of the table and raised his voice: “White, liberal women are a plague on our society.” He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.

A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start

Farage: epic grifter

The 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls

This is correct.

His cult keeps saying “well, he was elected president, he doesn’t have to follow the rules now” but the correct attitude is “well, he was elected president, and therefore he has to follow the rules.”

He even swore an oath to do that. Honest!

Title text “WHO BANS FRAGRANCE INGREDIENTS?” over an image of sliced lemons resting on a grey stone slab.

10 years ago I started investigating and writing about fragrance regulations because they seemed so inconsistent. They still seem that way to me today but I have learned some stuff along the way. Read my free blog here: substack.com/@pialong/

Low sunlight illuminating damp white sheep’s wool stretched like a thick cobweb in green grass

I keep forgetting to post - it’s been hectic lately, but here’s a little calm thing - a puff of sheep’s wool in the grass.

Hope it can bring you joy again soon 🫂

I wish people defended smeared victims of sexual violence the way they defend problematic male candidates for office

I don’t quite get the hype with them - certainly not the price tab. I’ve only smelled maybe 4 but they were all kind of meh and slightly screechy

"No, we don't want a monarchy, we want a theocracy" is a not the flex they think it is.

Nice category!!
