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!

If you've ever asked for recs in Somerville, you'll know that @rebelrebelsomerville & Dear Annie will always be at the top, so it was such a joy to have @vin_drop on @gastropodcast to talk champagne! 1/ gastropod.com/champagne-wish…

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.

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.

"These behaviors that we see and that we sometimes pathologize are not rooted in Blackness or the Black experience," Gaylord-Harden told me. "They’re rooted in traumatic stress.” My latest: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

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.

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?"

I would rather have a congress of sex workers, bartenders, and plumbers than a congress of millionaires.

Stop calling people resilient without calling out the systems that force them to be resilient or die.

People will say abolition is unrealistic because [insert instance of violence], but the instance of violence being described is actually unfolding *now*, under the largest police state in the world...meaning policing is not actually stopping the thing people are concerned about.

I like when people change their minds on stuff (sometimes, mostly; because growth) but sometimes I wish you had to say it explicitly instead of condescendingly tweeting from the opposite position they recently held. Show your work! Help us out!


I have 4 inboxes I have to check multiple times/day and only yesterday discovered “all inboxes” in Gmail so I’ll see myself out.
