So a couple years ago at Mercado, a Latin-American market with several Latin American food carts, I had ajiaco, a Colombian chicken and potato soup. It was so delicious, I have never forgotten how unique it was thanks to the herb guascas that is in it.
I looked in the Mercado grocery store for guascas, but they didn't carry it. There are a couple Mexican groceries in my neighborhood, but that's not their cuisine. On 1/25 it occurred to me they might have it on Amazon. Success. So I ordered it and chose Amazon Wednesday delivery
I didn't notice that meant 2/3, not 1/27. So I have been impatiently waiting. I found a recipe online that looked right. So, it arrives Wed. On Thursday, I buy the ingredients I didn't have on hand. I get home, so excited and read the REST of the recipe and discover the chicken
needs to rest with onions and garlic for at least 8 hours. Well, that means it has to thaw first, then rest. So it thawed on Thursday, rested on Friday, and I finally cooked it today. It was perfect! But 12 days of anticipation is ridiculous.

p.s. It tastes as I remember it. However, I leave off the avocado at the Mercado and at home because I am allergic. The last time, someone put guac in my burrito and I took one bite, threw it out, and got hives all over my arms, back, and legs. One fricking bite.

Students concerned about their tour leader and mentor using the most blatant of racist epithets and speaking of minoritized people in degrading ways are not vigilante bullies. Nor are the people who reported it more widely. Nor are people disgusted by NYTimes original response
Here's the thing about epithets. We all know they are unacceptable. For someone to make the choice to use them is a knowing, deliberate assertion of power. You don't accidentally say some racist epithet unless you are comfortable with saying it.
Sexist epithets, society has a high tolerance for them and we are not at the point where people lose their jobs for saying pussy, bitch, or cunt. Dehumanizing women is still wide-spread. Insulting men by calling them an anti-women epithet is widespread. I hope that will change

The performative left who are now demanding a $25 minimum wage demonstrate why they will be forever marginalized, powerless, and without influence. Winning builds your movement. Rather than take the $15 win, they present it as a loss, demanding more.
If you can never deliver anything for your movement, you will have no movement, you have a club. If when you are handed a victory such as an increase in minimum wage, refusing to celebrate that win leaves you without any victories.
If you have no victories, there is no reason for people to work with you because you deliver nothing. Take the win, celebrate it, and move on to a new demand.

They clap as if in defiance, and laugh at their enemies behind their hands, with the shrill laughter of children. They want to be right, not to do right. They feel no obligation to be part of the main tide of life, .
and if that meant any degree of pollution they would prefer to divert themselves from it and form a standing pool of purity. … I looked into my own heart and I knew that I was not innocent. Often I wonder whether I would be able to suffer for my principles if the need came,
and it strikes me as a matter of the highest importance. That should not be so. I should ask myself with far greater urgency whether I have done everything possible to carry those principles into effect,

I want to make one thing perfectly clear to those who make their living providing political news and analyses.

Insurrectionists do not get to define "Unity."
We have frequently been told "Elections have consequences" while McConnell pushed confirmations of subpar and outright outrageous judicial nominees, including Judiciary voting Clotheshanger Barrett out of committee without a quorum.
Any objection to Trump's reactionary and retrograde agenda was met with derision best summed up by the GOP trademarked phrase, "Fuck your feelings."

This belief is so common among self-styled "progressives" it deserves a rebuttal.
Let's consider Robert Lee Vann of the Pittsburgh Courier

He looked at the inaction of the Hoover Administration in its response to the Great Depression and recognized that a political party unwilling to act in the face of widespread despair and dispossession would never act to protect the rights of Black people.

Good question. I think a lot of people are out of work with too much time and too little power and without an understanding that there are other avenues to power and change than protest.

oregonlive.com/portland/2021/…
Protests are an effective tactic if they are connected to a demand in place and time or in response to a specific event. Protests for the sake of protest become a joke. For example, it used to be a regular thing for this group of enviros to march through downtown on Fridays
It was incredibly ineffective and unimportant. We'd hear drumming and think, there they go again. They didn't make a demand, they didn't go to the federal building to demand something on timber policy or anything, just marched and drummed through downtown
