I celebrated with warm Nutella on banana 😁
February 5th is World Nutella Day!
Nutella is a sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread, popular all over the world.
Did you know that 1 ounce serving, about 21 whole kernels, hazelnuts provide 82% DV of biotin (B7)?
Beyond healthy nails and hair there’s even some evidence it can benefit diabetics!

If anyone has started making zines in the last few years and would like to talk about why they started making them, please message me here.
I really want to get a perspective on why people have started recently.
If you could signal boost this too, this would be great.

January 31st is National Hot Chocolate Day!
An average hot cocoa made with milk chocolate has a Nutrivore Score of 172
Unsweetened cocoa powder has an impressive score of 1024
One is not 'better' than the other, both just have different amounts of nutrients.

I've been fully remote since 2018 and can agree with all of these - my last memories of being in an office were that I was constantly distracted by everyone else making phone calls and chatting

I *really* hope that events don't make this pastor a latter day Martin Niemöller. But the number & identity of prominent people currently excusing or denying Musk's Nazi salutes does not fill me with hope.
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

August Landmesser, like literally anybody honest, decent or kind, would have clapped. Not a single, presumably invited, character in this congregation fits any of those descriptions.

She knew this would happen. That's what courage looks like. By contrast, look at the people in this shot. (With the possible exception of Vance's wife.)
