A celebration of the South's rich — and messy — heritage, delivered on a plate
In a new cookbook, culinary historian Michael W. Twitty pays homage to the rich tapestry of cultures that have shaped Southern cuisine — and keeps a gimlet eye on the region's complicated history.

An annual reminder:
The cognitive & emotional toll of staying in contact with abusive family can be both significant & difficult to recognize.
There's a kind of social contract that abusive parents have violated. You owe them nothing. Nothing.
Thanksgiving doesn't change that.

No one’s happy with it. Every year new versions of old advice about surviving controlling, abusive, and fashy family gets dusted off as people wind their way to something they don’t even want to do. Why do it? Dump the colonialist holiday trappings and do something better with the quiet of the day.

Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.

I went FT freelance in 2019 to write my books, but the majority of my income came from freelancing for places like syfy or a writer's room where my name will never show up on the things I made. Then those ended and I had to go back to a day job. Can't survive on what my writing alone makes.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.
