If serving food here is the right way to address allergies:

  1. Be Honest: If you don't know you don't know. Be honest about ingredients.
  2. Ideally provide a list of all of the ingredients. (It would be nice if it was in alphabetical order if it is long.) If you can't do this see number 1.
  3. Treat questions about ingredients with patience. No one enjoys asking, we are not just being annoying.
  4. Do not act like some allergies are real and important while others don't exist.

@futurebird This really hard for me at church, because I'm allergic to a common ingredient in most foods and I have to ask at every station. Some of the members remember now, but I still have to ask. Usually I just have the rice and a dessert.

Has anyone read any good math and science history nonfiction books recently? (pop nonfiction please) Are there any really good ones out?

@futurebird I'm into history mom fiction and Joanne Freeman is a good go to.

Am I the only one who finds the republicans in the house quitting a little ... ominous?

What is about to go down that the rats are fleeing the ship?

(with apologies to actual rats)

@futurebird I'm kind of enjoying the whole quiet quitting thing*. It's not silent, but the Clown Caucus has to be wondering if they'll even have a majority in November.

*Using golden parachutes so they don't end up like, middle class or something.

I’ve been excited about bolo ties for a few weeks and I finally found the perfect one. Man I wish I could be on a train on my way out west…

@futurebird I used to fake them with brooches and clip on huge earrings. That's a nice one.
