I got a "book nook" for Christmas - kind of like a book end, but more elaborate. Super fun, I want them all.
The firehose of all my posts, including replies, likes and reposts. Who knows, maybe someone will get a kick out of this

I'm a big fan of Cincinnati chili, so cinnamon in meat dishes isn't so strange to me. Cinnamon and nutmeg are also essential components of French Canadian tourtiere.

“Why not? The notion that cinnamon is a dessert spice is a weird white American hang-up anyway. But it goes in lots of savory dishes around the world, and isn't reserved for sweets like it is in much of the U.S. https://t.co/7rQ3QUzRbs” -

I initially read this as "librarians love me for some reason". It was funny at the time.

I remember reading somewhere that kosher/halal laws are much less about the laws themselves and much more about the group identity they foster. I imagine the obscurity of Catholic mass fulfills roughly the same function.
What you're saying makes a lot of sense to me.

“I think fundamentally there is an us v them mentality built into Judaism that exists independently of antisemitism. A lot of traditional Jewish practice — especially keeping kosher — is about a forced insularity that separates Jews from non-Jews.” -

I'm not sure what it is about this that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the condescension or the "learning is beneath me" vibe I get.

Ah, fair enough. It's definitely harder to construct a coherent thread of conversation with webmentions

I'm confused by the webmention part of this statement. Do you not have control over how webmentions are displayed under your blog posts?
TwitterSara Soueidan on Twitter
“@azzamsyawqi @eleven_ty But I don't want to use Twitter for the interactions. The point of adding comments is to move the conversation from Twitter to the site. And tbh I'm not a fan of how webmentions are listed under blog posts.” -

I think the phrase is referring to the desire to have something both ways, to have something without paying for it
