Lol, Twinings Finings? Pretentious? Wait, is it all Twinings or just the Earl Grey?

Yeah I don't really sprinkle anything on my coffee or hot chocolate. But Mexican hot chocolate has cinnamon built in, and is delicious.

Fair. There's not a lot I'd want to sprinkle cinnamon over, to be honest.

Or coffee, or chocolate, apparently... 😉

I'm thinking these anti-cinnamonists should probably steer clear of Portugal entirely!

Omg I need this in my life! 😍

An old painting of a woman's head and shoulders. She is wearing a white outfit with a smooth white head civering that is vaguely bra-cup shaped and includes a tight chin/neck strap. The text above it says "I gave up trying to get this sports bra off. It's a hat now."

Grammarly's presentation of something they call Expert Review, including my name (plus Stephen King's, plus Mary Norris's), though to be sure I've never been contacted by Grammarly, much less compensated.

Fougasse. Wonderful bread stuffed with olives.

This is a fougasse. It is the most stunning piece of bread stuffed with olives. This particular one was made by @jyanisaacbread. Gorgeous stuff.

Very unjust imo

Ooh I've been eyeing that one!

That's an astounding place to run into AI slop.
