Decided to distract myself by making an apple crumble, grabbed a random newspaper page to peel apples over, and looked over to find a political cartoon
I ended up using the meat tenderizer hammer to crush the pecans. That helped a bit.
So uh. My mom is diabetic. I mention that because it might be a change with age or sheer willpower, but she has less of a 'sweet tooth' (supposedly) these days. I assume the honey in the challah recipe I use at least partially feeds the yeast/Benjamin (so idk how much it could be reduced), but the three times I've made challah, she says it's been too sweet. Any suggestions?
yes, there's a partially nonsense sentence in my poll. You try applying to 500+ jobs and staying sane. I baked cookies without sugar yesterday, for gd's sake, and had to ice them.
The whole generation of nostalgia thing is fucked up. Not only did I grow up in a period of rapid technological advancement, but like, I vaguely remember how bugs used to splatter on car windows. I have calluses on my feet that will never go away and a habit of walking out to check the mail barefoot because the pavement rarely got that hot. My first Gameboy was black and white, and then the Gameboy advanced came out next thing I knew. And then the Wii? Out of nowhere? I remember big fat computers. I still own furniture made for that size, with scars from their weight. Now someone building a museum exhibit wants my first phone (LG neon) because it has a keyboard. I didn't really start paying super close attention to news until I was 13 or so, but something tells me climate disasters are getting more frequent. (They are.) Summer was filled with playing with my neighbors outside until the sun went down. I'm fucking 27 and I'm drowning, man.

i'm not a doctor or a nutritionist, but sometimes i hear women talking about their diets and it takes all i have to not be like "this is not normal. you have an eating disorder and you are in a cult."
Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.
The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.
The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.
I don't know if you take asks like this, so you can ignore this. I know butterflies were a thing in 1990s, 1930, even live ones featured in victorian fashions sometimes, but how far back could butterfly designs be traced? My medieval Pinterest board could use serious beefing up, but before the 19th century, I see floral prints. Maybe peacocks.
The earliest I can conclusively put butterflies in Western fashion is brocade waistcoats from the 1700s, but I'm willing to bet that there were brocades in Asia that used them before that.
