Cinnamon covered dough pieces with white frosting glaze toppled over on a square dish.

Here's hoping it tastes better than it looks! Homemade monkey bread for my son.

US folks, it's time to call your senators. The removal of the final check and balance against abuse of executive power is hidden deep in the budget.

BOOK DRIVE FOR INCARCERATED YOUTH
No Borders is partnering with a local librarian to bring requested books to youths ages 12-18 who are incarcerated at Crossroads Juvenile Center in Brooklyn. To help, you can:
β€’ Buy books from our Bookshop.org registry
β€’ Donate funds to The Rolling Library
β€’ Donate gently used paperback young adult novels, manga, and comics

wishlist: tinyurl.com/2025bookdrive
donate funds: tinyurl.com/tridonate
contact: nobordersbooks@proton.me

last year @nobordersbooks.bsky.social sent 600+ books to Rikers; this year our book drive is for teens who are incarcerated in Brooklyn. please purchase a book if you canβ€”most of these are requested titles, and a $7 Goosebumps book would mean A LOT to a kid in detention bookshop.org/wishlists/70...
