Em. Dash. Revolution. 🔨 Time to stop living in fear of "sounding like AI"—because it's AI that writes like us. Say the thing—take the risk. The future of writing is human.

I just got this strainer, @davidwondrich.bsky.social. It’s by Gaskell & Chambers—founded in B’ Ham, England in the 1800s.
They manufactured all sorts of bar equipment & during WW2 they supported the war effort by manufacturing mine detectors, ammo boxes, etc.
Have you heard of the company before?

Thread: part of an ongoing project to erase people of color from military history:
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

You’re not too stodgy. Please don’t fuck with my Martini. Everything else, have at it; whatever; knock yourself e out. But I beg of you to leave me this one little thing that I can rely on.
I can tolerate a lot of variation in my Manhattans, but I've always felt the Martini had a narrower range before it stops being a Martini. This article is filled with things that are way far afield. Are we just back in the 90's -tini suffixication of everything? Or am I just too stodgy?

I thought this excellent article from @davidwondrich.bsky.social needed another repost. To me, the problem with these weird new drinks, is if bars don’t include the classics on their menu also. If they don’t, people will eventually forget them, and forgetting history is (almost) never a good thing.
This @davidwondrich.bsky.social is magnificent, a marvel, the best piece of food and drink writing I've read in ages, a great respite from a stressy news world, amazing:

Why Is My Drink So Damn Weird?
When every cocktail is an experiment in novelty, ordering feels like a gamble. But if history teaches us anything, it’s that this era won’t last forever.

I just restored this antique julep strainer, @davidwondrich.bsky.social. It’s by W.R. Keystone (a William Rogers mark). I don’t know its exact age but it’s pre-1929. Maybe 1900s-1910s.
I love the shamrock in the handle and how the holes together resemble a flower. A beautiful piece of history.
