A LOT happening, including a giveaway of Miyoko’s new cookbook THE VEGAN CREAMERY. www.aliciakennedy.news/p/we-ve-got-...

I am excited for this. alicia-kennedy.com/salon/p/is-c...

I'm always beating this drum, I know, but we have to talk about the actual politics influencing our relationships to food. www.aliciakennedy.news/p/food-is-po...

Tomorrow, reminder, we have a conversation between meat industry reporters Alice Driver and Melissa Montalvo, on the occasion of the paperback release of Driver’s brilliant book Life and Death of the American Worker: alicia-kennedy.com/salon/p/alic...

Post a link to any major newspaper and people will be sure to let you know they cannot access it.

Tomorrow in the newsletter… all about muffins…

Proving a point (hopefully) about my vegan muffin base recipe by making them with whatever was in my mom’s pantry.

DOPE CONVO with Miyoko Schinner on the occasion of her new book’s release at Baltimore Book Festival. Get THE VEGAN CREAMERY!

Woman newly allergic to gel gives herself a late summer manicure

I chronicled all my eating, cooking, and drinking from the summer. www.aliciakennedy.news/p/the-summer...

Today’s yogurt bowl with a last-minute single-serve stove-stop granola:

Got rid of muffin pan thinking we were imminently moving; ran to get one quickly at Marshall’s to recipe test; have made grave error because it’s the worst piece of shit I’ve ever baked in — never again wasn’t fucking thinking

I could never get into the Great British Bakeoff because they left in the chewing sounds.

It is really funny to me that the lab I go to for bloodwork offers you a coupon for toast and a coffee at a nearby café. It is called Laboratorio Borinquen and when I first saw a sign for it, I thought it was anti-colonial agitprop.

A doctor's waiting room has the same turbo-charge effect on my productivity as an airplane.

i live (basically) in a town with beautiful views in every direction and i'm afraid you're totally right on this one

Complaining on this app didn't generate any new subscriptions to my newsletter, lol — just sharing the data

Should I run a creatine ad in my newsletter

I do find the weirdest thing to be that so many people pay for my workshops but don't (pay to) subscribe to my newsletter. I appreciate it but it's really obvious how limited subscriptions are as a revenue stream outside service and news. (I'm an essayist, cultural critic, author, whatever.)

I moved off Substack this summer and have lost a ton of paid subscribers 🤪 it’s mostly failed payments but I’m going to need to hustle to keep up with churn. It’s also been a shit-ton of work. So just if you wanna push people to leave Substack, put your money where your mouth is too.

Writing the pitch guidelines for my new publication 😇 happy Labor Day lol

Love to see former Twitter mutuals crushing it on this app very randomly

Dug in my brain for this because I remembered one track and luckily it’s still in my iTunes 20 years later gotta love… the cloud??? The way this corporation owns my life???

It's the most important ingredient in your kitchen, and at the end of this story there's a link to my rant about why you shouldn't use Diamond Crystal TLDR: it's made by Cargill (and of course there's a little banner at the top of the page that takes you to our fundraising info)

What makes @aliciadkennedy.bsky.social unsubscribe?! What was the lie she sold her first book on?! If she could choose anywhere on the fucking planet for a *speculative lunch* where would she go?!! These are only a few of the Qs we tackle in this Power Lunch with ESC: www.esckey.co/alicia-kenne...

We realized this week that everyone goes to my husband to make plans and I really enjoy this. (I'm a generally prickly person whose phone is always on DND and I text the same 5 friends all the time.)

Extremely specific ‘90s mode today while I work on a draft

I'd love it if people emailing me a correction (which I appreciate!) could ever write a fucking salutation.

I need to find someone to do my 40th birthday Paul Simon tattoo lol

Getting ready for my September 8 cover reveal

I literally could not care less about tennis and yet... the U.S. Open is everywhere...

I opened up expanded Monday consulting hours because two people requested earlier times and Monday is admin day anyway. If you wanna talk about doing culture work in its many guises, schedule a time. alicia-kennedy.com/consulting

I dunno about you but I LOVE to start my Monday morning with not one but TWO @aliciadkennedy.bsky.social articles! Enrich your taste by subscribing to her!!

The strangest thing of mine Benny has snuggled:

I've been using natural deodorant for a couple of days because I found it in my travel bag and do you know what... I stink

I apparently speak so positively about the fun I had during the August 2003 blackout that my husband sent me a post commemorating its anniversary.
