I promised myself I wouldn't buy any new books in January 🫠

But lucky me, half of my books haven't been read yet so I randomly picked these three off the shelf.

Which one would y'all read first? #booksky

If you're looking for a holiday punch/cocktail, try this: cupofjo.com/2024/12/04/a...

It's boozy as hell so I recommend adding 1/2-1 cup of cinnamon simple syrup.

Speaking of this week's news, just a reminder that the CEOs of Tyson, Perdue, Sanderson, and the other major chicken farming corporations illegally colluded to fix the price of chicken and overcharge Americans just trying to eat dinner for over a decade and are almost certainly still doing it.

What year did you start hating Drake? It was 2016 for me. There just wasn’t any growth to his music and people really tried to crucify anybody who said anything.
