I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

You're kidding me. We only rate dogs. This is a rainbow bagel. I really need you all to start sending us dogs, because we only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: mrpeanutbutter.69)

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

Matthew's cookbook - I've marked quite a few recipes (especially the desserts), plus it has a well thought-out section at the beginning about food aversion and options. ❤️

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

I'm getting @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social's Color Taste Texture for my brother this year! It's so great for figuring out why different things work and what you can substitute for different people's tastes!

American Cake by Ann Byrne has some great recipes and is a fascinating culinary history! The Knack Thai Cookbook has inauthentic but very useful recipes for homemade curry sauces without making more paste than I can use in time.

Ruby Tandoh's Cook As You Are is a staple in my kitchen. I really like its ethos and the recipes are great.

I have so many questions. I’ve tried to do the cover justice in the alt text, but there’s just SO much going on here. Paging @smartbitches.bsky.social !

Question for you! What cookbooks do you LOVE or love to give as gifts? It doesn't have to be a 2025 cookbook.

I'm going to be putting together this week's gift guide and since so many of us are cooking, I thought cookbooks might be fun. I also love giving them as gifts.

What are your faves? 👩🏻‍🍳

I took Metro from DCA and I feel bad about this but zipping by alllll the standstill traffic around DCA was kind of thrilling. Wheeeeee!
Heading home for the holidays? Let Metro be your ride to and from the airport ✈️

Beat the holiday traffic by taking the Blue and Yellow lines to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport or the Silver line to Dulles International Airport.

BOOP.
Would you like more cute transit news bc I’m here to tell you that we have a regional transit card that you use on buses/trains/ferries called the Orca Card, which has a mascot that is (you’ll never guess) an Orca, and his name is BOOP bc that’s the sound it makes when you tap your card 😭
