can someone please just run this as an ad?

ICE unleashed tear gas on the street in Chicago’s Logan Square today and I tried to find meaning among the fog and my own anger about, well, everything. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I've rarely felt so seen and validated by a piece of writing. I got an ADHD diagnosis late in life that made a lifelong habit of self-hate and shame somewhat less, and I took action. Perimenopause threatened to undo that work. I will not let it. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/g...

Feels like a good day to watch Pump Up The Volume if you haven't for a while / ever. youtu.be/6MZKkz4xefk?...

@ghweldon.bsky.social Hearing "skibidi toilet" come out of your mouth on today's PCHH made me double over so hard, I almost cracked my skull on the counter. I think it actually ripped a portal to another dimension.

I had the tremendous privilege of sitting down with Regina King a couple months ago. We recited a poem together off the cuff, and had a real, raw, beautiful conversation about loss and the kind of love that transcends time and space. I'd be honored if you listened. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Today was my last day at Quirk—which means I finally have time for freelance editing clients! If you’re developing a book at any stage please get in touch and we can discuss how I can help www.jesszimmerman.com/editing.html

I guess Richie always just wanted to be a Tenenbaum.

I can't actually watch the @scrippsbee.bsky.social Spelling Bee lest I get flashbacks and panic attacks, and I definitely had them while I wrote this piece. www.foodandwine.com/the-most-com...

Love Diet Coke? You've got F&W testing editor Jennifer Zyman's father to thank for that.

I would infinitely, infinitely rather consume a gallon of aspartame than the rancid-aspirin-hairspray flavor of stevia or monkfruit extract

Restaurants are back, but the people who work there may not be OK.

We'd certainly tune in 👀. Hear more of her brilliant ideas on this week's episode of #TinfoilSwans

I just remembered that today on the A train, there was a delivery bike locked onto a pole, no owner in sight, and a slab of probably 20 pounds of red meat wrapped lightly in plastic on a board on the back. I hope the meat got wherever uptown it needed to be.

I just wanted to show you my sweet old dog if that's OK.

Lovely humans, we launched Season 3 of the Tinfoil Swans podcast today, and I am so grateful for the existence of Byron Gomez. We talked about sobriety, DACA, impostor syndrome, and trying to find/make your place. www.foodandwine.com/tinfoil-swan...

5 years ago, I wrote this story about how Covid was exacerbating my longstanding and generational terror of wasting food. It would seem that some things never change, as I panicked last night when my husband tossed out a broccoli stem. www.foodandwine.com/fwpro/corona...

This may be the best thing I've ever written. With thanks to @katkinsman.bsky.social and Food and Wine: Aggression cookies. My Mom may not have invented rage baking but she sure had a right to. www.foodandwine.com/my-moms-aggr...

This is your annual pre-reminder that the forehead shmutz tomorrow is on purpose. Refrain from wiping them.

A thing that brings me a lot of delight is giving my dogs detailed notes on why they're wonderful and why I love them. I am going to assume they don't speak English or Welsh (I use both, at varying levels of competence) but it makes me feel good.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

The scene in Homicide: Life on the Street where Bolander plays the cello with the diner waitress remains one of the most tender things I have seen on TV.

I would like to show you a picture of my dogs. Here they are.

I just have no interest in judging how other people feed themselves

No, seriously, I could fix Tim Riggins.

The holidays and grief are old friends. If this is your first season of loss, I wish I could tell you it gets better. Grief is just love that death couldn't kill. With thanks to @katkinsman.bsky.social & Food & Wine Magazine: www.foodandwine.com/it-s-my-firs... #BlackSky

I have read @lindaholmes.bsky.social's smashing new book and I wish for you to also know this joy.

Pretty sure I am not gonna breathe or stop having a stress rash until the nearly $170k claim for my husband's hospital stay in September is no longer "pending" or the critical care insurance claim stops requiring more paperwork and that is in no way negatively affecting my health, which is fun.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

wrote a fun little something for Food & Wine about how bowls are still the ideal serving-ware vessel, and almost always the best one, even as the era of bowls being cool likely comes to an end. there’s maybe some stuff about hosts and guests and generosity and grace in here, too

The thing no one ever tells you about growth is: Your grief grows too. with huge thanks to @katkinsman.bsky.social <3 www.foodandwine.com/it-s-my-firs...

"Plates are capitalism; bowls are socialism." - @hellafitzgerald.bsky.social www.foodandwine.com/bowls-are-be...

This is a true story. I was like, I have never voluntarily listened to Fleetwood Mac on this or any other account (though I love Stevie Nicks), so why is Rumours my top, like everything‽

I also enjoy thinking about which current well-known people would have made great guests on The Muppet Show. Gotta be game, goofy, humble, geeked to be there. I told @roccodispirito.bsky.social I think he'd have been a delight. Who's on your list?

Watching the @markhamillofficial.bsky.social episode of The Muppet Show for the first time in decades. It's like serotonin from a Super Soaker. Watch it any way you can and know this delight for yourself.

I’ve never fried a turkey but this year I’m going to really commit and deep fry EVERYTHING on Thanksgiving. All day, just this once. I’ll work out so much rage

If you don't know the bliss of owning and operating your own personal gravy fountain, it brings me great joy to tell you that this is within your grasp. I want this for you. www.foodandwine.com/thanksgiving...

It’s true that this book is a great actual resource, ESPECIALLY at this moment. I am so grateful for it. *But also*, I promise you that in general, a lot of you will find it’s written in exactly the tone of voice in which you want to be spoken to right now. bookshop.org/p/books/you-...

I had Pati Jinich as my guest on the Season 2 finale of Tinfoil Swans. The empathy, grace, joy, and humanity she brings to her work - especially about border towns - is a balm to the world and I would be grateful if you'd care to listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I wish this book @margareteby.bsky.social wrote had been on my shelves in the worst depressive episodes I've had, but I'm grateful to have it for the next ones! Feeding yourself is so so hard!!! bookshop.org/a/79623/9781...

Lucky you! You now live in a world where @margareteby.bsky.social's brilliant and lifesaving new book You Gotta Eat: Real-Life Strategies for Feeding Yourself When Cooking Feels Impossible is published and truly, it is a gift. It'll nourish in ways you'd never dream of.

My book about anxiety came out 8 years ago today and why yes, that was a week after the 2016 election and I felt like a jerk promoting it, so I didn't very much, but I love this little weirdo, so here I go. www.harpercollins.com/products/hi-...

Hello, did you need PJ Harvey covering Joy Division? open.spotify.com/track/3FYnFq...

I genuinely don't know how to start here, but I'm just gonna embrace the awkwardness. I'm an editor at Food & Wine, I host the Tinfoil Swans podcast. I wrote a book called "Hi, Anxiety," I love having intense conversations with chefs about mental health & The Cure, and I speak Welsh like a toddler.

It already slightly feels like a party where I have walked in shyly, alone, and will be furtively shoveling onion dip into my gaping maw until I muster the wherewithal to say hello to anyone. But hey. Hi. Do I have onion strands in my teeth?
