idk, some guy

Have you ever led 30 people on soupsong in your own living room? That's too much power for one man

Always a wise idea to triple check the time of the function. Realized I'd forgotten to add a crucial ingredient on the way back home, so at least there's opportunity to remedy that.

Figuring out what to make

Oh no, you definitely possess Cool

Foodies don't want you to know this, but if you put Mayo on hot noodles, it's basically as good as Alfredo

Gentle reminder that social media is often the worst place to hang out when really bad things happen.

Minnesota folk, you have a whole lot of new local friends. I humbly suggest you go make plans with them to do something to make something better today, instead of doom scrolling for hours.

Hey they don't call me Jessy Needles for nothing 😂

Sometimes it feels like a curse to be capable of caring about other people!

But spiritually, it's the one true thing in the world. So. Here we are.

It’s not lost on me that this is happening during Ramadan and during fasting hrs.

Oh I forgot all about his appearances on the show! I should track down where it's streaming.

Reminder that now, when you use ChatGPT, you’ll be directly contributing to the deaths of anyone the US military kills not just those being poisoned by their data centers

Takes a lot less brainpower to alter a pattern to fit now, with so much dysphoria just sent off to the incinerator with my tits. Recalculated the sleeve decreases on the fly because all sweater sleeves are 2-3" too long for me.

I cannot overstate the benefit that top surgery has given me. Not only to my mental and physical health, but also: sweaters go a lot faster now.

It's very good!

A selfie of me, a white, mostly bald man with brown hair and a graying brown beard. I’m smiling because behind me is the world’s largest ball of twine made by one man. And you better believe I’m wearing the cool St. Paul jacket.

A picture of the twine ball, which stands probably at least eight felt tall. It is sagging a bit, which is probably why you can see some netting around the bottom half.

Visited with an old friend today

My gigantic orange le creuset pot uncovered on the stove with the beginnings of smoked turkey stock in it - smoked turkey wings, carrots, celery, onion, parsley stems, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns, water.

Guess I'm going to the soup party after all.

Got re-verified after a little blip so now it's my duty as the most official looking Taco Bell account on here to report once again that eating Taco Bell makes you gay

It's a ridiculous chair

Glorious

This would be a good porch chair as is tbh

& that’s why @heavytable.com is the best in the game

Got my first "stop writing about ICE in your newsletter" email, which argued that we need to focus on food and not politics. Folks: THEY ARE INTERMINGLED. You can't declare war on the beating heart of the hospitality community without changing the food culture!!

Hey y'all, is there a minnesota group that helps trans folks moving to Minnesota with relocation funds, etc?

A jacket with images from Caravaggio's painting of The Conversion of Saint Paul

Finally got one of those cool St Paul jackets everyone is talking about.

Ian is my fucking hero, they are such a huge part of all the organizing and fundraising that has been happening in the Cities. They're even overwhelmed, so you know it's bad out there. Please help if you can.

I’m reading Ursula Le Guin’s THE DISPOSSESSED and this line reminded me of Minnesota these past few months:

“His gentleness was uncompromising; because he would not compete for dominance, he was indomitable.”

(nothing in particular, just the ongoing experience of being a citizen of a dying empire)

Giving myself a little treat for making it through the day without melting down.

I just described the outline of Chicago to my high schoolers as "O'Hare attached to the city with an expressway umbilical cord" and now everyone in the car is upset including myself

$1400 to go to keep this Minneapolis immigrant family in need safe, housed, and out of eviction court! Can you help make this happen for them tonight?
