Y'all, I have a Substack. It's called The Kitchen Sink and the Very First Post is about meat tins. In fact, it's only Part I of meat tins. You never know there was so much to learn about tins full of meat. esthermartin.substack.com/p/meat-tins-...

A day late, but ten years ago yesterday we hosted the first ever #FolkloreThursday over on Twitter! TEN YEARS people!!!! What a decade it's been - THANK YOU to everyone who has been with us over the years, and here's to keeping on putting the folk back into folklore!

This is the food change we need in the world. #foodstudies

"No more living to work for me, now I’m working just to stay alive."

I've done it. I've officially received my MLA in Gastronomy from BU. There are things I've been proud of, but never like this. I wasn't able to attend graduation, but my lovely friend provided me with a realistic representation of what it would look like if I did.

Happy pub day, An American Girl Anthology! Sharing a bit about the book process and my feelings about writing my first not-food book (and the food history that helped shape it) in my latest newsletter with fellow food scholar/co-author @emartin.bsky.social!

Yuuuusssss, also preorder this book because I wrote something with @kchysmith.bsky.social in it, and god we need this win.

Always proud when my comments make it to the Snacket email.

I am excited to share, a full week later, that I turned in my last incomplete 10 years late for my 11-year-old two year part-time masters degree with BU Gastronomy. I’d like to thank all my haters, primarily myself, who never thought I’d get here.

Me trying to set up Bluesky thinking I’d already joined with TheFoodlorist years ago: DAMMIT emartin is taken!!! Who took it UGH!!! Me. It was me. I took it.
