I joined a FB group, Florida Women for Harris, and they have gone nuts, over 30,000 members and growing at a mad rate. Lots of them are from deep red areas, like The Villages. Encouraging. There are bunches of pictures of plastic flamingoes painted blue wearing pearls and sneakers on people's lawns. So cute! Makes me wish I had a FL lawn.

That is great to hear!

Thrive to spite them

Oh man I just learned Shirley Chung has Stage 4 tongue cancer. She was on Top Chef and has been on several Food Network competitions and she is always bubbly and funny. She said she is doing chemo and treatments to try and get rid of the cancer and not lose her tongue.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm not familiar with her at all, but that must be pretty rough for a chef!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

My brother had tonsil cancer (and is more than 5 years past it, yay!) so I fully believe that tongue cancer is a thing.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I’ve heard of tongue cancer, but mostly in people who were life long smokers, which seems unlikely for a chef. Since they have to be able to taste things accurately and all.

"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Joan Crawford is dead. Good.” —Bette Davis

I've mostly heard it in reference to men who use chewing tobacco, but I guess cancer can randomly crop up in any organ without a clear reason for the location.

Last night was the first time political commentary has given me a feel-good belly laugh in, oh, about eight years: [link]

Our wings are not tired.

Matt, we watched Jon this morning, and he did not disappoint. We knew he would love the new material. He and Andy Borowitz make the election process bearable.

I was kind of wondering if maybe it was an occupational hazard. One would hope that all the things chefs are tasting are safe, but...
