I was watching a video of a woman who grew her own flax to make into a linen dress, and she showed an image of the shorted stranded fibers called tow, and I suddenly understood what “tow-headed” really meant as a description.

Accidentally made a weird soup today, that was basically if matar paneer was lentil soup?? It was good once I adjusted to it.

If you’re making challah for tomorrow and need a recipe, I can’t recommend this Claire Saffitz recipe enough. It’s honestly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, it tastes like how bread gets described in fantasy novels, and it’s not harder than regular challah. streicker.nyc/wp-content/u...

Deep Space Nine

Bring back 20-24 episode seasons of TV.

MAN I wish we had locked accounts right now

Urge Overkill or Hole. The fact that I don’t know about most music is my own fault and no one else’s.

Caption says this guy was a Marine under Reagan, this photo is an entire grad-level history course

After months of smearing this guy as a possible terrorist or terrorist supporter who they needed to eject as soon as possible back to Egypt, the trump administration today filed a motion in court basically going, eh nvm Glorious taxpayer funded use of time www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you are a member of the Orr class and you do not have a current and accurate passport I cannot recommend strongly enough that you look into how to get a same-day passport appointment as soon as possible the door may be closing very soon, and we can’t know if or when it will reopen

My dad had a box sitting on the table so I opened it up and you CANNOT GUESS what was in it.

Some personal news: I finally got my insurance to cover a service from January.

We switched to watching Six Feet Under and it’s SO funny that there’s a whole character that’s just like “can you imagine a hot woman who isn’t TOO crazy who would just hook up a stranger man without going on a date first??”

if these companies would just put out a statement saying “we told him to go fuck himself” they would instantly have the type of loyal and dedicated customer base corporations dream of and spend decades trying to cultivate

I wish I had saved the first few GBBO episodes to watch because I’m not sure I can handle much else at this point. (Taking suggestions but I think my brain is only operating at like 50% capacity right now.)

Just read a reference to working in archives as the 'second oldest' profession. am imagining the world where there are only two jobs on offer: sex worker or archivist

Got my Covid vaccine today and I am S T R U G G L I N G

LMAO

This story is not getting the attention it deserves in fact it should be so shocking that it took over the CK story at this point. However, you would be hard pressed to find more than a couple people who even know what happened

Are US liberals and democrats going to mobilise over this like they have for Kimmel or nah.

I think that the most frustrating part of Strange New Worlds is that Star Trek has a rich history of the writers and actors trying to make the show more queer while production company fought them, and SNW isn’t even doing that!!

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

We have an FBI director who draws a complete blank when asked about one of the most infamous mass murderers of the last 20 years.

I am watching the two hour and twenty minute finale of Stranger Things season 4 and I actually think it’s cool that Stranger Things was given a nine episode season that the producers just made the same length as a regular, pre-streaming season of television.

Saw this while walking my dog today. Outrageous Bush Era energy coming off of this image. Three Doors Down is stuck in my head all of a sudden. New Jeff Dunham special is likely imminent within the year. The U.S. is for sure about to destabilize a country that the president can’t identify on a map.

I just finished Oscar Wars and I had the best time. Like every good book on a super specific subject, it was actually about everything: labor history, media in the 20/21 centuries, race in America, hubris, everyone always trying to reach the Youth, and Bette Davis.

Veteran entertainment journalist David Canfield has joined The Hollywood Reporter as senior entertainment writer.

There are just 4 states with statewide elections this fall. The one that's most under the radar? Georgia. Democrats have an opportunity to flip two seats on a statewide body that's crucial for environmental policies. Don't sleep on it — everyone else is: boltsmag.org/georgia-publ...

Wow, first time I've seen him underwater in this poll with white people. He has negative disapproval across every possible cohort.

must be something wrong with my internet, I just woke up and tried to find the massive Democratic party pushback to all these attacks on the first amendment and nothing's coming up in my browser

Bought some internet turmeric and made some dal and you guys were NOT kidding, this is really good.

Yikes yikes yikes yikes

I’ve been thinking about this in retrospect and I have some personal news: this really did fix me.

A thought I keep returning to — and that’s underscored by today’s news — is that a legacy publication or a deep-pocketed investor could hire an astonishing array of talent right now and make the best newspaper in America overnight.

My new haircut requires that I do at least some level of styling every time I wash it and I’m currently pretty bad at it. No reports yet on if there’s any way to improve this in the future.

The best to ever do it.

A friend brought saag paneer rolls (like cinnamon rolls but filled with saag paneer) over last night, and they are unbelievably good. I have to figure out how to make them myself.

Hey what

I know several people who would buy a “Go Birds/Fuck ICE/Free Palestine” shirt.

FUCK ICE AND FREE PALESTINE

This is the juice

Dessert mode ACTIVATE: Best pie: fruit tart Best ice cream: burnt caramel from Toscanini’s OR black raspberry from a New England roadside stand Best donut: apple cider Best bar: raspberry crumb Best cake: cheesecake Best other: sticky toffee pudding

My 2yo tried fish sticks before she ever tried chicken nuggets, so she calls chicken nuggets “chicken fish sticks.” Today this food product entered our home and does anyone have contact info for Baudrillard

Make a band singular: Belle or Sebastian

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

Peak New England hours

One of my best friends is completely offline so when I talk about something that happened Online, I have to hear myself explain it from the beginning. There’s something so embarrassing about explaining the *concept* of Instagram.
