I look forward to these posts. I find them so enjoyable. Thank you
I hate the Warren-Bernie in fighting and am most frustrated that CNN is intent on stoking it. I remember Jeff Zucker half-heartedly admitting that running Trump rallies in 2016 in full with no fact-checking or commentary “may” have been a mistake and it’s clear from this pot-stirring that they still don’t actually care. So frustrating that this falls on Warren and Sanders to defend and hurts both of them in the process.
What a lovely calming post 🙂
Not sure how to feel about the Yang article. Have you heard about the two gender discrimination claims that ex-employees have made towards him? One claim I could maybeee consider a fluke or disgruntled employee. But two? Dealing with pay gap issues and discrimination on the basis of marital status? Yea, no. He talks a good talk but has he walked the walk? (Asked rhetorically, not trying to incite anything on your comment wall! I just believe accountability and consistency is important on these matters.)

Hi Erin. Thank you for your great blog, I have enjoyed it for several years.
About the soap block, one of the ingredients, quillaja saponaria, is actually the tree Quillay. This is a native chilean tree, it grows in old forest, which in Chile has been systematically destroyed and replanted with foreign, soil destroying species. The saponins (cleaning agent) is mainly in the bark, but unlike cork, the tree cannot be harvested without killing it. I know that quillay is exported for several industrial uses, but I do not know if there is a responsible source of quillay in Chile.
Hi there: thanks so much for reaching out. This is a new ingredient/concern for me—thanks so much for letting me know to avoid!
