idk whats in this one, but she finally got her yeast to "textbook yeast" so that means this is likely her last sourdough (or soon to be last) because everytime she perfects a recipe she moves on to something else... (how many years has it been now since she made them bomb-ass donuts? 🤔)

oliver kornetzke, accurately calling it like he sees it... "Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger...."

*me, counting down the days until my book release on october 14th*

"Assata! Mercurial Assata! Let Down Your Nappy Hair!"

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung told U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that trade talks with the United States should be "commercially rational" and meet the interests of both countries. *one White House 'game of telephone' later* Trump: South Ikea's prez said what? RAISE THEIR TARIFFS!

good afternoon, fam labi siffre I GOT THE... youtu.be/A4JWkW0oROg?...

it took about three yrs for me to slog through the 1st three episodes of Slow Horses - so many restarts! - but it finally hit once i put my phone down & actually paid attention to it *& NOW IM LICENSED!* so... it's always had dark, irreverent humor... but this feels like sitcom territory now. 🙁

idk. if the person i idolized and elected as my political representative said something completely batshit, like, "fresh air causes skin tags" (as a fictional quote based on real-life events), then shouldnt i ask them to verify that?! & what does that say of me if i dont?

im a very casual viewer and never recall the winners or the contestants i liked on any season or location of Love Island... i only remember the folks i dont like... ...and for this all-star game season, i dont like that those two kids. them two right there (points at tv screen) ...😑

And Dionne Warwick played a HUGE role in making the Burt Bacharach sound. The PBS documentary about him heavily features her, including interview of him on importance of their collaboration. But truly, she is music royalty.

it is amazing how often i find myself mindlessly humming a warwick tune or two every week but have only selectively played her ONCE (that i can recall) over the past decade... i simply dont rush to her discography, EVEN THO I LOVE HER MUSIC! im gonna make more of effort to play her, i swear.

Neurodivergent folks should all be paid a stipend to do things we like to do, and the world would end up benefiting from it.

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this. I don’t view it as a Me problem.

i mean foot on neck. from gospel beginnings to the top of the pop charts with bacharach.

guess who did it first... & it was a b side youtu.be/eLU_woRD8Dg

The Klansman leader said That Paul [Robeson] would lose his head When thirty five thousand vets Broke up that concert. But less than four thousand came To side with the Klan! But around Paul’s lonesome oak My thirty thousand. —Woody Guthrie

the young patriots (the white, appalachian gang/party) used to place themselves in defensive measures between fred hampton & the police who came to his speeches hoping to crack his head. this might not work in today's climate as cops will crack white heads too, but thats what allyship truly means.

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.

My niece found out ppl who think the rapture is coming are giving away all their stuff. Anybody got a nice car for me? Tryna become auntie of the year.

OH SHIT!!!! DID I MISS THE RAPTURE?!? i watched the original back in 1978... does anyone know what streaming service the sequel is on?

every living thing faintly glows, emitting ultra-weak photons (or biophotons) - nothing our eyes can detect, but right now you are a lightbulb (if not a star) to some tiny lifeform gazing at you in the night.

oh, my last post wasnt a good enough timeline cleanse? *reaches into 'nations sack* HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW?! youtu.be/-UYgORr5Qhg?...

If you're upset about Jimmy Kimmel being "canceled," I'm sure you were just as furious when you heard about Joy Reid and Tiffany Cross or Amber Ruffin or Karen Attiah or Jemele Hill Because Kimmel might still have a job if you were

cathemeral? i be that.

what happens when science splices michael's and lionel's genetic material into a single being... i am sympathetic tho: i once found her old book of baby names and 'alonzo' & 'alphonso' were the top alternate names mama had picked out before going with 'ronald' - not much an improvement, i know.

*previously on "Who Did It Better?"* teddy & luther are spades partners sending signals across the table. lionel is the player who keeps underbidding or gets caught reneging. michael is his partner, tired of lionel's shit.

*okay, let me get my mask in place for today before i start scrolling my timeline*

after our farms fail from government shenanigans and corporate agencies snap up those properties for capitalist gain, then i fully expect to see those same farmers side with native americans in solidarity with "land back" movements. ...right? RIGHT?

mad wild to see people *just now* saying THIS is fascism after the cancellation of kimmel, but whatevs... please pull up a chair, refreshments are in the back - there are cookies, donuts, and chips & dip... please feel free to help yourself.

crystal, a bit surly: now, im not gonna be making a loaf of sourdough every 3 or 4 days; i got things to do! me, under my breath as i grab a knife & put on coffee: you's a *gotdamn* lie.

The key thing I’m really taking away from this is that Tom Homan might have the lowest fees in the whole administration.

goodnight, fam... this one goes out to my best friend & the strongest love ive ever known - @crystalwilki.bsky.social from the couple who wrote 'youre all i need to get by' ashford & simpson BEND ME youtu.be/IIf0HsodCvs?...

the grant process held us up & we missed out on the most ideal location for a new bookstore; that gutted me. the guy spearheading our co-op had been working on this plan for 4 yrs, but our grant agency (tho supposedly impartial) was very shortsighted to our efforts. & now we appear done w/ it all.

are there any other songs that simultaneously sum up the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s, AND maybe the early 2000s as much as this one? is this *the* revolutionary battlesong to rally antifa around?!? deee-lite GROOVE IS IN THE HEART youtu.be/etviGf1uWlg?...

When I was still editing books, I acquired this kids' book about queer Latine heroes. The plan was to get one for every racial and ethnic demographic, but I quit before it happened. This was published yesterday, & I'm very proud of the role I had in making it happen. www.amazon.com/Queer-Latine...
