With New Years right around the corner, you might feel intimidated picking the perfect bubbles to celebrate with. But Gastropod’s favorite sommelier @vin_drop has some tips on how to enjoy the diversity of fizz out there in our latest episode: gastropod.com/champagne-wish…

Resurrecting my presence on Twitter to say that this was a fun one!

@RogueChocolate Hot Trends For This Fall

Write? Today? Isn’t it selfish to do art in a moment like this? I want to affirm in you that making art--any art--is one of the most radical things you can be doing right now. When the world wants to burn, as people try to tear things down, you create, and create, and create.

@SpringsSalsa Mr Wexler?

@vin_drop I heard that you're the imposter in the imposter syndrome.

A brutal story about the ways in which we deny federal assistance to those who most need it. We make people fight and beg in the name of preventing fraud. Often we just prevent those with the fewest resources from getting much needed help. @hannahdreier washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/04…

this is it.

WELCOME TAURUS SEASON! SLOW THE F DOWN! BE AN UNWAVERING SOURCE OF SUPPORT TO YOUR FRIENDS EVEN WHEN THEY DON’T NEED IT! SNACK AS AN EXTREME SPORT! MAKE NAPS A NECESSITY! PRIORITIZE PLEASURE! PROTECT THE EARTH AT ALL COSTS FFS WE DON’T HAVE A PLANET B! LIFE IS SHORT HAVE FUN!

@linecook been dehydrated for 20 years every day is a gift

do you ever forget how to drink water for a second and almost wind up dying?

@RogueChocolate yeah that is definitely the point, but I am currently mid-permit-nightmare so. had to take it there. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@RogueChocolate Teaching kids about how to get permits is useless. Folks in my industry know permits are issued ONLY during rare celestial alignments, of which city officials have secret knowledge. I think sometimes they’re also given during butterfly mating szn, but I’ve never seen it happen.

We don’t need to “reimagine policing.” We need to examine the meaning of “public safety.” Billions upon billions are spent on policing & we are not safe. Housing is safety. Healthcare is safety. Funding things that actually prevent social instability & conflict is safety.

I mean fine dining has been putting popped sorghum on fancy salads for years but yea let’s go off on popcorn salad

Once people get vaccinated and we start mingling again, don't ask me "how are you?" or "what's new?" We're only doing deep and weird conversation starters from now on. "Hi! You look great! Drinks are on the patio. What's holding you back from being the person you want to be?"

@novascotiamusic can confirm dogs catch both mice and rats—mine caught 2 little guys and 3 big guys this month so far. it is truly grotesque.
