Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

We got a World Wildlife Fund catalog in the mail and the toddler wanted me to read it to her. When I turned the page and there was a photo of a bald eagle she was SO EXCITED she stood up and made a big noise.

Chipotle Mac & Cheese With Roasted Brussel Sprouts – Post Punk Kitchen – Isa Chandra Moskowitz

If you ever want to branch out from boxed this is my go-to vegan mac recipeβ€”just as easy, I usually boil the cashews because I’m never that on top of it.

Second update: Seven weeks, three attempts, and one drive to the suburbs later, the toddler also has her COVID shot. It was pointlessly difficult but I'm glad we (eventually) got it done.

The next time you play Scotland at least one person is going to show up at the show with this apple for you. (I originally said three but I think I can safely bet on one.)
