“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Your #sundaybake is this fabulous Bread Soufflé. While it's baking, read a little interesting #foodhistory and just how essential bread is to life—or at the very least, to life in France. jamieschler.substack.com/p/souffle-au... Enjoy your Sunday. Bake. Oh, and please share.

Almost without exception, such 'patriots' loathe everything that actually makes Britain a great country and long for a smaller country, with narrower horizons, and a meaner future, based on a version of the past that never existed.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

Dragged myself out on a grey and murky morning to go to the market. The cheese stall always makes it worth it though, and the sun had come out by the time I was on my way home.

Yes, it is Saturday - what of it?

The philosopher invited me to attend her lecture on applied ethics and as I sat in the audience waiting for it to begin a man sat down nearby and asked me why I was wearing a mask, and before I could stop myself I told him: “I’m applying ethics.”

14 years? Jesus Christ! Who'd believe it?!

The bloke down the road finally came and he has taken our pretty little hen visitor away. I'm going to rather miss her, but at least she's safe from foxes now.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new. This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

People talk often about how all of our institutions are crumbling, but I gotta say, the institution protecting powerful people from ever facing consequences for sex crimes, a load-bearing institution if there ever was one, seems to be holding up quite well.

Well, the man about the chicken never turned up. Not sure what we're going to do with her.

Right. I have a deadline today. Everyone stop telling me about the book quiz.

This week, it seems we've acquired a chicken. She's been wandering around in our garden and the neighbour's since Monday (I'm amazed a fox hasn't had her). Managed to get hold of possible owner yesterday - he didn't think he was missing one, but is coming to see later.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

THREAD. A collection of photos I have taken of scarecrows I have stumbled across during walks in the British countryside over the last fifteen years.

Right then. It's mid-November and if you're thinking about #Christmas shopping, now's the time. All my products are designed here in Manchester and made in the UK. Shop's open gailmyerscough.co.uk

at what point do i tell everyone who’s obsessed with GDT’s frankenstein that my literary horror dystopia was described as ‘Frankenstinian’ in the Bookseller and features a man/monster doing a Silence of the Lambs-esque moral reckoning with the scientist protagonist, because-

Since we're rapidly approaching Thanksgiving, some pumpkin pie history by @lifesafeast.bsky.social. I love pumpkin pie but since I was born south of the Mason-Dixon line, I also love sweet potato pie. Who knew pumpkin pie originated in France?! jamieschler.substack.com/p/tarte-au-c...

It was a magically foggy morning in the Lot this Sunday - perfect for snapping a few of the glass stars before they left for l'atelier du Dragon artisan boutique in Montcuq, Lot. #handmade

We need to count up the “scare stories” printed by the “Telegraph”. There must be “millions”.

The part that's wrong is that it wasn't an executive from one of the drug companies. It was apparently a patient taking one of the drugs, who was presumably invited along as an example of how great the drug is. Only he passed out before anyone got to that bit.

Once again, for people in the back: graded exercise therapy, while great for many illnesses, does not help ME/CFS and can, in fact, worsen your condition. Unfortunately, chances are your doctor doesn't know this despite existing guidelines. So if you have or get Long Covid, be warned.

If you have long covid and a doctor recommends graded exercise, exit that office and warn everyone else. These doctors are effing dangerous!!

As someone who got (gets) worse from exercise and physical activity, please read and ask questions of your doctor if you’re experiencing long covid or ME/CFS symptoms and they suggest graded exercise. It really is not something to mess around with. I worry about this as more people realize they have

Even I thought this was one of mine!

Destroying the planet with fossil fuels is a choice

The annual harvest for Michael Fabricant’s hair has just begun in Gloucestershire today.

🧵Spotted on an Evening River Walk in Aotearoa New Zealand: Three women (20s-50s?) are leisurely floating in a riverbend water hole. Hair piled up on their heads. Hands swooshing idly, keeping them buoyed. Toes peeking out of the water like little piggy wiggies, curious to see what's going on. (1)

Trump illegally withheld $5.5 billion in SNAP funds, defying Congress & the courts. He’d rather let 16 million kids go hungry than obey the law. After threats & delays, the WH now says it will “comply" w/ a court order to fund SNAP. This is chaos. No way to run the government.

Trump said he would fund half of November's SNAP after courts ordered him to pay He rescinded that offer 24 hours later & said no SNAP until the Dems capitulate on the big beautiful bill. Keep donating to food banks. Keep boosting mutual aid. Donations likely slowed & we need them to continue!

Jamie’s jams.

Perhaps this will get some people's attention (it got mine, after all)
