Hello! 🍜
I am a baker based in #Mumbai, India. I bake these plum #cakes with rum every Nov/Dec.
Dried fruits and nuts are soaked in Old Monk rum and then finally go into this decadent #Christmas treat. If you want to order or know more, number's in the menu.
Please #repost for reach. Tysm! 💖

95% of penguins in two imp breeding colonies off the coast of South Africa died between 2004 and 2012. They died due to lack of food – the #climate crisis and overfishing being the culprits.

For Volume 1 of the issue, we were delighted that the blind review process resulted in half the stories being by writers for whom this was their first professional sale. We’re looking forward to more of this for volume 2!

Oh wow, it's a month filled with rejections, at least all the old pending ones (greater than 60 days) have sent a response.
And since it is a numbers game, just sent out stories to 4 other magazines. Fun times.

I’ve Traveled on Hundreds of Sleeper Trains. But I’ll Never Forget My First.
A writer reflects on how, as a child, a sleeper train crossing South India awakened a passion for life on the rails. More than 30 years later, trains remain her favorite way to see the world.

Do I know anyone on here who might be able to get me a digital image of a page (or a few) of a manuscript in the Library of Ahmed III (in Istanbul)? The library doesn’t appear to have digitized much (or any) of the collection?

These little guys that I posted last December are still thriving in a water-filled saucer in my greenhouse.
Easy pets, if difficult to see and not at all affectionate.
