No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted. Likewise, cheese makers wash the dairy floor with whey. Tomato gardeners compost with rotten tomatoes. No writing is wasted: the words you can’t put in your book can wash the floor, live in the soil, lurk around in the air. They will make the next words better.

Grown-ups don’t look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they’re big and thoughtless and they always know what they’re doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. The truthis, there aren’t any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.’

Adulthood is 50% “I’m too young for this to be happening” and 50% “I’m too old for this shit”.

writer: me too haha!!
What I can tell you is that works of art are the only silver bullet we have against racism and sexism and hatred. Joe Biden happened to see Hamilton on the same day James Burrows was here. James Burrows directed every episode of Will & Grace, and remember when Biden went on Meet the Press and essentially said, “Yeah, gay people should get married”? He very openly credited Will & Grace with changing the temperature on how we discuss gays and lesbians in this country. It was great to see Jim Burrows and Joe Biden talk about that, and Jim thanked Biden and Biden thanked Jim because that was a piece of art changing the temperature of how we talked about a divisive issue. It sounds silly. It’s a sitcom, but that doesn’t make it not true. Art engenders empathy in a way that politics doesn’t, and in a way that nothing else really does. Art creates change in people’s hearts. But it happens slowly.

White people will turn anything into a casserole
What exactly is a casserole
I still don’t know tbh
this literally is my family
^^^^^^ Same
Midwestern and Scandinavian? EVERYTHING IN A CASSEROLE.😝
What is a casserole, you ask?
1. Protein. Chicken, tuna, last night’s whatever.
2. Starch. Cooked Noodles or rice, generally. This “stretches” how many people the dish will serve.
3. Binder. This is the sauce. Brown gravy, red sauce, or the favorite white sauce (classic French Bechamel), which is made from butter, flour and milk. You can also add in some canned soup, mayonnaise or sour cream for a little flavor (read: salt and/or fat)
4. Topping. Crunchy and/or cheesy. Cracker crumbs, crumbled chips, shredded cheese.
Directions: Mix the first three together. Season to taste (add salt. Trust me.), dump it in a greased dish, top with the fourth. Bake at 350 for half an hour to an hour.
You have made a casserole.
Bon Appetit.
