"Today we are holding a carnival, to which everyone has to bring a partner wearing some form of disguise, so that one man will be dressed up as a bear, another as a savage, and so on and so forth."

#TheDecameron

It's my understanding that they also have 🐥chicks and 🦆ducks and 🪿geese...unless Oscar Hammerstein has been lying to us all these years.

Which, on reflection, would actually be pretty boss! 😎

Considering a Christmas dinner recipe that requires a casserole dish to be placed in the oven AND finished on the (gas) stovetop.

How is such a thing possible? I have a Dutch oven that can handle both sources of heat, but my sense is that I need something shallower.

Reccomendations please 🙏🏼

I went to an "ojos" training tonight hosted by New Orleans DSA and Union Migrante and thought I'd pass on new things I learned:

1. Low/old info ICE sighting posts are wreaking havoc on immigrant communities. Basically, incomplete or old info is actively harmful (even if ppl have good intentions)

"Now their rhythm and their sound are full, and fill everyone at the parade, fill their ears, their brains, their entire nervous systems, control the beatings of their hearts, make their eyes flush with blood, their hands and feet move involuntarily, their bones to vibrate."

"Governor Hochul and Your State Legislature" surprised everybody with $150 "inflation relief" checks.

I felt it was my civic obligation to re-invest it in local industries.

Should make for an 'old-fashioned' Christmas! 😄

Louis Armstrong and Lotte Lenya, 1955

Lenya was in the studio when Armstrong recorded "Mack the Knife," which is why he improvised the line "and Miss Lotte Lenya!"

Now that Thanksgiving is almost over, let's settle this once and for all:

"Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" *is* a Christmas movie!

Happy Thanksgiving, compatriots! I miss my days of travelling over the river and through the woods, but I'm thankful for my boy and dog, the parade, the turkey & trimmings, green bean casserole specifically, pumpkin pie, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and the official start of the Christmas season❣️

The #ThanksgivingJazz performance was recorded by the Voice of America and stored for decades at the Library of Congress. It was finally digitized and released in 2005.

With awful things happening in the United States each day, Jazz remains a part of our heritage for which we can all be thankful!

Despite having lived in NYC for 3 decades, I've only attended the Macy's parade twice. Here's what happened the first time:

"Kathleen Caronna...was first seriously injured during a particularly windy Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1997."
Woman who was put in a coma from Thanksgiving Day balloon had plane crash into her home just years later
Kathleen Caronna was hit by a lamppost during a Thanksgiving Day parade and years later watched her apartment burn after an airplane engine crashed into it.
