It always feels like love letters from editorial teams to their favorite pieces. It gives me warm fuzzies!

I love seeing fantastic writing get celebrated! 💕

Abomination

Thank you!! I was pretty tickled when that line came through :D And yes, I feel that way about the word umami, too. I've been paying a lot more attention lately to the mouthfeel of poetry--if you're interested, another recent piece played with that: autumnskypoetrydaily.com/2025/07/02/t...

Thank you so much for the kind words - you made my day!!

This is the kind of librarianship I aspire to. (As I wearily walk away from my jigsaw puzzle at 2am. I need better vices...)

Yes please this would make my day

There's a horror short in there somewhere about a foodlover that dies by colon spasm if exposed to the spices they adore 😆

It's not me, I swear, it's my Crohns/IBD. I promise I'm sniffing those amazing spices from a distance with desire in my soul like they're the finest Peruvian flake.

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.

There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

"AI is the next phase of life" - they want students trained to use AI 'for the workforce' but not for university systems to critique or inform via critical thinking what AI is, what exactly it's telling them or the data its responses are based on, how it's developed, and how it's used. Just, ugh.

That's fantastic!!

Then congratulations!!! I know how hard it is. (Apologies for not complimenting up front--I try to be careful bc weight loss is so fraught & often illness-related)

I hope it is for a wanted reason!
The site is nifty - and with the 'condition' filter I've had really good luck getting pristine stuff. Very handy.
