I want a fresh bread candle. That smell of yeast and baking and goodness.
if you could turn one food item that is not already a traditional food-scented candle into a candle, which would it be?

Hey @reptimkennedy.bsky.social Why are you being silent about your senate colleagues betraying the American people? Stand firm and vote no on this no good deal for the American people.

I am now contemplating the different lethalities of region sandwiches: cheesesteak vs beef on weck vs primanti brothers
Cheesesteak is only effective if thrown while hot as melted cheese can do extra damage. Primanti Bros confuses non-residents when french fries eject from sandwich on inpact.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Fuck the Post. My children’s local Auntie has been as important to them as any blood relation and is currently battling cancer. She’s shown up and loved my kids for over a decade! @ravensnpennies.com is my kids Uncle, as beloved as any blood relation, and helps take care of my kids.
no joke: this line of attack is racist.
MANY people from MANY cultural backgrounds use “auntie” and “uncle” for older relatives and even close family friends.
the NYP knows this. this is just bad faith racist bullshit parading as cultural ignorance.

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com got our discord group to share our local food banks and talk about donating to them. It was a real joy to see how many of my pocket friends are kind generous people.
shout out to @feedmorewny.org and Hope and Joy food pantry in particular for their hard work locally

Food relief orgs can do a LOT with a little. $50 to the Atlanta Food Bank provides 150 meals. $100 to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank provides 250 meals. Anything you can share will go a long way. Never feel like your efforts are too small to make a difference.
Heartfelt thanks to those who supported their neighbors with donations to food banks. I wish I could match them all! I'm matching the first $1K and reposted all the orgs. If you're looking for ways to help, check my feed and let the example of these generous folks inspire you. ❤️

Please my New York City humans, please vote for Mamdani. Especially for all of us New Yorkers who live in the state but not the City.
This is incredibly deep and I am tearing up.
Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams are the worst of us.
Mamdani is one of the best.
When you vote in this election, whatever your faith, you are making a moral decision that will reflect on your character and your soul forever.

So, given my absolutely silly dietary restrictions: gf everything bagel, toasted until the cut side is crispy, plain cream cheese, red onion, capers, lox, a squeeze of lemon juice, a grind of black pepper, and caviar if i’m being fancy.
A lot of your bagel orders are fine but remember we are talking about what’s acceptable to the NYC electorate and many of you would lose your election.

Punitive is pointless. You can't unmake the past with a slap on the wrist. Rehabilitation, as often as possible, as much as possible--that's what I think will help society. To prevent further harm. 4/?

May every sentient being from the most divine to least, heed Rabbi’s prayer.
Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.
Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.
Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

Try to be a kind person in the world.
After that, be a forgetful ghost who haunts historic libraries, or a vengeful twig witch who stalks the dark heart of the forest, or something cool like that.

The idea that young men and boys are radicalized into violent misogyny by their role models isn’t new.
The thing that feels so scary about online radicalization is that none of us feel like we have any control over—or even knowledge about—the strangers radicalizing the boys and men in our lives.

Oh yay, I think I still qualify with obesity and depression 😭
Reading the list of conditions that qualify you for an updated COVID booster, I think the easiest route for most people without an existing diagnosis will be "physical inactivity" because that's entirely self-attested, with the runner up being "I was a smoker for a few months a few decades ago"
FDA is authorizing anybody with a risk factor from this list to receive the vaccines, as well as anybody 65+.
