What should I make this weekend?

2026-02-27T08:40:49Z

WEirdly, I have no ideas for what I should cook this weekend to split between us and the community fridge. I suppose I can always make Pokemon Soup, since I keep bags of mirepoix in the freezer, but what else could I make? Humbly, I request ideas. (Real ones please)

Black Americans are losing recipes.

One woman is trying to pull them back from obscurity

“I knew I was gonna do a series on recipes that we weren’t making anymore,” Sonja Norwood, the content creator behind Wick’d Confections, tells TODAY.com from her home in Texas. She’s making sure that once-ubiquitous Black American foods get their chance in the spotlight again.

For Our Sisters

Copied from my friend from whom I got this link:

If you are a cis woman and an ally you might like to go to the NION (not in our name) open letter page and hit on 'latest'. There you'll find a facility to write a supportive Valentine message to UK trans women many of whom are going through a hard time at present. It'll be open to write something until the end of February. It also allows you to read the other support letters- not many yet as it's only just started.

Writing is the worst hobby

2026-02-08T17:51:52Z

I have spent the last couple of weekends, including 3 hours this morning, thinking about and researching a couple of stories.

Have I written a godsbedamned word of actual fiction? No.
