Love to play with my food. Math is for everyone and a crucial citizenship skill. Leave the world better than you found it.

Tried Mary Berry’s Floating Islands. So much technical fun. Poaching meringue is a real skill. Ours is not yet ready for Paul’s steely blue eyes, but it was fun. Even our middling results were delicious.

It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion…

… and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines.

Infuriating.
Giant YTD drops in Chicago for basically all crimes.

Huge 4-reductions in Chicago for all violence. Murders are down FIFTY PERCENT.

Property crimes are dropping, tho still higher than before. But MRAPs don’t stop theft.

This is all pretext. Yet the WaPo subhed frames it as a “crime” issue.

It’s easy to be depressed, discouraged, dumbfounded by the cruelty and brainlessness of Trump and the people around him.

But today I want to celebrate what may be a turn in the Trump tide. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-4a6

"That Mr. Musk has come to hold so many of the same beliefs about social engineering and economic planning as his grandfather is a testament to his profound lack of political imagination, to the tenacity of technocracy and to the hubris of Silicon Valley." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/o...

His belief that liberal democracy has failed and that technologists should lead can be traced to the unusual life of his grandfather.

You know she’s a math teacher when she orders a gin and conics.
You know she’s got a seizure disorder when she orders a gin and tonic-clonic
You know she’s a linguist when she orders a gin and phonic.

It would be so helpful if you could retweet my May botanical illustration & mental health w’shop in my previous post if you have a moment. I've been unable to work since December due to a breakdown (not proud of this) & I'm trying to get back on my feet so if you could RT it would help enormously 🌿

Thanksgiving fun has begun with the basics: veggie broth for stuffing and pickled red onions for cheeseboard and salad. 🍽️

Starting the Thanksgiving prep! Today my husband baked me a couple of loaves on the grill to use in the stuffing. The smoky flavor really kicks it up a notch. 🍽️
