I've got a new article in Slate about how bananas Travel has been this year...
My clients are stranded. Thousands of flights have been canceled. It’s another day at work.

The 6 foot/6 pack/6 figure story that sad dudes tell themselves is a myth, because this man is so hot and we know he smells good, and as long as he's willing to ask at least 2 questions during a date he could pull any woman he wanted.
this guy has such great style. i don't know how to upload multiple videos, so here's just one. his whole tiktok is great though.

There is already a global shortage of real olive oil.
The best olive oil in the world comes from Palestine.
The olive groves are hundreds of years old, and they're being burnt and destroyed.
It takes 7 years for a newly planted olive tree to fruit for the first time.
“Olive oil is going up again why”
My brother our countries are lighting olive trees ablaze and murdering families in hopes of discouraging people from remaining in their homes and on their traditional lands
That’s why

The reason we associate the shape ❤️w/ love is because there was an herb named Siphilium that had seeds that shape. Siphilium was such an effective birth control that the Romans ate it extinct. It was the basis of some economies, worth its weight in gold.

Fun Fact: it takes 65-80 years for an olive tree to stabilize their yields.

Oh, one final warning - cold brew has less acid, but MORE caffeine than drip coffee - it is basically rocket fuel, esp. if you like it strong - so start off with a small cup if you've been off caffeine for a couple months.

Accommodating someone's allergies is always really fun to me as a host because it feels like you're preparing something that will actually be meaningful to them.
They're always so joyful when they realize there's something they can eat too!
Thinking about all of you who have allergies that aren't accommodated for in the coming days. You deserve safe, welcoming spaces even when that requires work on other people's parts.
