Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I made a dish inspired by this one tonight and I have to agree it's one of my favorite ways to prepare tofu now.

Miso Peanut Ramen Bowls
A sweet and creamy savory broth ladled into bowls with noodles, crispy crumbled tofu, and fresh veg! These ramen bowls are SO GOOD.

I would like to see just one journalist quote Charlie Kirk’s problematic comments to Matt Shaw and ask him to respond.
Making a decision to participate in a political movement that's anathema to many Americans — including a large percentage of Cubs fans — only ensures that Matt Shaw will remain in the spotlight in 2026.

Don’t be that spouse. If you have a spouse, fill their fucking stocking. Why is this a thing??? 😒😒😒
While everyone else's stockings are hung with care, Mom's is often the last to be filled — if it's filled at all. Why? For many families, moms are the magic makers of the holidays, but so often their needs can be overlooked.

My best friend *literally* started joking about me being Cassandra at the fall of Troy immediately following the 2016 election so this makes me feel both validated and full of rage at how myself and others were maligned. newrepublic.com/article/2042...
The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

Cannot overstate how much joy real flame candles give me- the light is so warm and soft and fits perfectly with the slow vibes of late autumn evenings. We rarely used them at home but it's easy to find inexpensive unscented ones of all styles so I can have them all the time!!

Thanksgiving isn't a thing in Germany, but Americans gonna American- "Friendsgiving" is very common in the US immigrant circles, including folks from all over. Getting to share something like this when everything else coming out of my home country is awful keeps me from slipping into despair.
