I have read a couple articles in the last week about low morale for ICE thugs. An army of actual humans outraged and not giving an inch to the idea that what is happening is normal is stronger than the enormous army of foreign agitating ice bots and the humans parroting them like lemmings.

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

Michelle Carter was sent to prison for less than what ChatGPT has done repeatedly.

I just had a night like this, where the man sitting next to me radiated that I was ruining everything.

We pray for the missing Mystic campers. And we demand answers | Editorials The Central Texas floods, and the children lost at Camp Mystic, have stunned us. We grieve, and we ask what can be done to prevent this from happening again.

My husband Raj Mankad won the Pulitzer Prize along with his editorial team Lisa Falkenberg, Sharon Steinman, and Leah Binkowitz for an incredible series of stories about stalled trains in Houston putting the lives of school children in danger.

It’s incredibly frustrating that our representative acquired grant funding for west Alabama street and the city is deciding it’s not going to build any bike lanes but will use the grant money to repave the street anyway. I just don’t see how this won’t make the city look like a terrible partner

On January 21st, Donald Trump made some big choices and a black hawk helicopter and a plane full of figure skaters seem to have borne the horrible consequences.

Watching Loretta Kovicic and the Texas Slavs at the Mucky Duck

Raj and I bumped into many favorite people watching Loretta Kovicic at the Mucky Duck Saturday night. Loretta's zeal for jumping into life and making it all her own is gorgeous.

I highly recommend signing up for a local farm share -- it's like getting a whole bunch of little surprises every week, and keeps me on my toes.

I don't want to bring back smoking, but I want to bring back ashtrays. They were so marvelous. My dad had this blue cut crystal looking glass one that reminded me of the Cookie Monster's fancy grandma.

Pumpion (Pumpkin) Pie from 1670
YouTube video by Tasting History with Max Miller Pumpion (Pumpkin) Pie from 1670

Now that I joined the Central City Co-op again, I get things like pumpkins for cooking. Just ate one in an uninspired way tonight. This, however, is on the list. Mebbe minus the raisins. It seems a very pre-sugar is everywhere recipe. #whatscooking #food
