Today, made my traditional St Paddy’s dinner (not to be confused with a traditional Irish meal for the same occasion. I don’t even know if there is one, tbh.)… brown bread, colcannon, home-cured corned beef, Alaskan Smoked Porter (not pictured).
Also periodically found myself on the verge of tears about Gaza. When baking bread, thinking of people starving while my government funds the actions of the people starving them. When scrolling Instagram, seeing videos of Gazans begging for basic safety, and flour. Just flour, and to not be killed.
What an intensely privileged life I have, that my biggest problem today was figuring out which mix of my half dozen flour varieties would make the best stand-in for plain whole wheat.
@mivox Netanyahu and all who support this mass killing are stealing joy from the entire planet. Their misdeeds are not yours… I think we just do what we need respectfully and know that we are not genocidal maniacs. Stay strong and keep fighting. Don’t let them win by breaking us all down and making us weak mentally and/or physically. We should eat and stay strong for the fight because the Palestinians don’t have the opportunity to do so…
@ematts Thank you. 💜 No worries, I’m not taking anyone’s misdeeds on myself… it just makes me so incredibly sad that so many people in a position to help are instead standing by and allowing this horror to continue (or worse, supporting it). 😞
