@yanshufkadesh @AliceFromQueens those notes are for sources/subjects i've worked with who have shared very difficult experiences with me — losing a family member to violence, being assaulted or abused, watching clients be executed, etc. i do that kind of work a lot, so these notes thank them for their courage. — PolitiTweet.org

yeah 100%. i am the world's most nervous, anxious, fretful woman, prone to absolutely deranged behavior like calling 911 bc the baby rolled off the couch (look. she was 8 weeks. i was a first-time mom. i didn't know they're made of rubber.) so his temperament is *perfect* for me — PolitiTweet.org

haha, it's dough conditioner — mainly dextrose. all it does is make it easier to roll out 'bouncy' doughs by preventing 'snap back.' that makes cinnamon rolls, biscuits, etc much easier — PolitiTweet.org

@KarlPopperSucks i leave them notes when i give them baked goods. one of my neighbors in particular is very elderly and i check on her when there's bad weather, like snow or ice, to see if she needs help. due to 'rona i can't just knock, so i leave muffins or bread and a note — PolitiTweet.org

i just felt like: we can buy jewelry and throw a big party anytime we want, there's no reason to delay getting married for any of that. we just got in the car, drove to new orleans from texas, got married, and bought a box of burgers from the krystal on bourbon street — PolitiTweet.org
