Exactly! It’s truly comfort food fixings. There are a few other things like potatoes and some herbs that make for amazing meals.

Yeah it’s homemade raw milk cheese they call quesillo.

The mushrooms are seasonal and it’s usually the ladies with corn, cheese, habas, etc who sell them

Wish I weren’t allergic but I still bought them for my comadre

Absolutely epic extreme thunderhail with cold cold rain and I just had to rescue the cat from under the table in the garden and wash the mud off him. He was clearly on patrol when it hit.

The Rodney King video is one of the most important moments in American history because it showed people, particularly comfortable white people, irrefutable evidence that marginalized people’s stories of how police behaved - which were never believed - were in fact true.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

100% taught them that.

They need to know before school starts again pues

Much to their grandfather’s chagrin I have just instructed my young godsons in the English art of asking who farted and saying it’s pee-yew stinky gross

I maintain they need to know this to talk with kids their age in English

Monday morning: they can’t find the key to the padlock for the parking area and the spare is apparently not working so tennis lessons will start late

Also like… doing the thing is often its own reward because we do things we enjoy. And then when you do them well you have a sense of achievement and pride and it feels good.
It's funny that one of the things people learn as very small children is "you get better at doing the thing by doing the thing."

Everyone learns this as a small kid, it is very obviously completely true.

And using genAI manages to instantly make people forget it, and start arguing about it.

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

I’m sure it is.

People here in peru are generally like señora I’m so sorry about the country where you were born
January 17, 2026 at 3:30 PM

January 16, 2026 at 7:05 PM
