So, we aren't Jewish, but my middle brother has a weird allergy to pork, and through this we have discovered that if a gummy thing is labeled kosher, he can eat it, bc it's likely they are using either beef gelatin, or a vegan substitute. Most food companies don't specify which animal their gelatin comes from, so pretty much the only way to know is to look for either the kosher or the vegan label.

Shit, my gummy edibles probably aren't kosher for Passover.

People, I sense an as yet untapped market? Seasonal to be sure, but still...

#his allergy has a really specific name and is tied to one of his other conditions. asthma maybe? #all 3 of us have chronic health conditions but Middle Brother got the really weird shit

After 14 years of raising a neurodivergent, picky, borderline-ARFID eater, the most gratifying and rewarding thing I hear as a parent is, "This is SO GOOD."

#sometimes with a contented sigh included #sometimes it's even GREEN #rn they're eating chicken enchiladas with green enchilada sauce #they didn't even bat an eye at the greenness of it all #so proud of them

I've been listening to old episodes of You Made It Weird (with! Pete Holmes!), and just hit a stretch where Pete went to a retreat with Ram Dass back in 2015, and while he was there, Pete recorded a series of episodes with several other people who lived with Maharaj-ji (for example, an episode with Krishna Das), and all of them share these great stories of feeling a pull to drop everything and go be with their guru and have these great stories of meeting him and learning from him, and Pete shares his experience of reading and listening to Ram Dass and then coming to the retreat and meeting him in person, and also randomly ending up having breakfast with him as just a normal guy, and sharing a moment of just genuine sweetness and affection.

After listening to these episodes for two or three days, I have a dream where I have the exact same experience, where I hear things, read things, and then feel compelled to travel, to undergo this transformation, to meet my guru and learn at his feet, and I do go, and I do meet him, and it's a feeling of humility and completion and gratitude.

Only, for me, in my dream, it's not Maharaj-ji, it's not Ram Dass.

It's Shel Silverstein.

#About Me #as I woke up I thought. You know what? That tracks. That feels right. I kinda DO think of Shel Silverstein as one of my spiritual advisors. #the Gingers were both very amused by how this tale ended #I think it takes a great vulnerability & courage to be both real and silly #silliness IS real because reality is silly #GET INTO IT WEIRDOS

Royal told me it's inappropriate to serve a bellini in a margarita glass. I would like to know how they know that.
