I so adore #RecipeOfTheDay, it’s hard not to sound unattractively boastful when I talk about it. But truly, this Luscious Vegan Gingerbread does have something miraculous about it. It’s dark, sumptuous, squidgy and simply divine – I named it luscious for a reason! www.nigella.com/recipes/lusc...
Luscious Vegan Gingerbread
I am preposterously proud of this squidgy gingerbread, and I don't mind who knows it. It's everything you want out of a gingerbread — sticky, spicy, deeply aromatic — and you would never miss the butt...

What the social media ban assumes about our society is that the places where adults congregate to share ideas are never safe for children. And it’s wrong

Significant statement from the Ombudsman on payment suspensions - the system is unfairly and unlawfully punishing people who are "below the poverty line" and are "unlikely to find ongoing employment no matter how hard they try to comply with the requirements placed upon them"

Once again reminding everyone that I'm extremely pro-porn and I think that porn is one of the fundamental forms of expression worth protecting.

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.
