Gratitude post November 13th 2017

[flamingsword]

I am grateful for the existence of pastry, for the experience of eating flaky crusts and soft doughs, for the sweet and savory and wholesome grain flavors. I am thankful for food scientists who experiment with recipes until they have new textures and flavors to bring us. I am thankful for flavor, and my body's capacity to enjoy it, even when other sensations are difficult. I am grateful to sweetness and the calming endorphins and insulin response it produces.

I am grateful for Taika Waititi and directors of color. I am grateful for voices of diversity to combat the monoculture of white supremacy that must be fought. I am grateful for humor and the depiction of capitalism as risible.
