This is insane. No one’s coming.
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

If you, like me, have largely refrained from telling your not-as-online spouse about the Nuzzi/Lizza drama, I cannot recommend enough playing this sample for them and watching their expression as they try and process what it is they’re hearing.
Okay, I think I figured out how to turn the audio sample into a video that can be uploaded to Bluesky. Here are the first 3 minutes.

I’m currently working on my first cookbook. The most popular recipes on my site are my small batch breads made with 1 cup of flour so the book will be all small batch bread recipes. I’m super excited about it, even though it won’t be on shelves until Fall 2026. Writing a cookbook is a LONG process!

ICE is kidnapping and locking up little kids, denying them medical care, and feeding them contaminated food.

Early yesterday morning, a drone struck the center of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine—damaging a building and rupturing a gas line, leaving families without heat. Within an hour, WCK was providing hot drinks, water, and food to residents gathered in a safe, warm space near the blast. #ChefsForUkraine
