  • If they are one people, then all of Russia is also Ukraine. And I happen to think Zelenskyy is a more legitimate leader.

    I wonder if there’s a localized zone where there is some sort of really great density of people who consider themselves Ukrainians. And I wonder if there exists some distinguishable boundary between them - culturally, societally, dare I say politically - where on one side an individual would expect to encounter a Ukrainian, versus on the other side, where they would more probably expect to encounter a non-Ukrainian?

    Edit: Maybe an edge? A ridge? Something that describes a clearly defined boundary between two distinct areas that are closely related in many regards while also being clearly distinguishable based on the split that defines the division between said areas…

    Edit again: I swear it’s on the tip of my tongue. So frustrating. A line, maybe? That seems closer, but not quite there.














  • Use your celery as an ingredient to make other things amazing. Mirepoix would be my first suggestion.

    Tangentially related: It’s also great to add to a stock, and if you ever get a grocery store rotisserie chicken, you should consider making stock with it after you’ve cleaned off all the meat you want. Skin, bones (broken bones are even better), celery, onions, carrots… Even onion skins and those celery leaves I mentioned, it can all go in, you just strain everything out after you’re done cooking.

    Pretty much any time you cook meat, consider incorporating celery into the ingredient list. It’s a friendly companion.
