Cheers today to America’s first woman Vice President who is also on the pioneering path to becoming America’s first woman President. My Sorority Sister Madam Vice President Kamala Devi Harris!….
[SEE ALSO yesterday’s #CatLadiesForKAMALA post if you missed it❣️😻😸…] As well as today’s publicly viewable TFG Patreon Post where i point out that Int'l #CatDay (8/8) & #VEEPDay (8/9) are always ‘randomly’ back to back but that this year the alignment of the timing is especially… cosmic…

B/c surely by now you know that if you try and rely on any of of the mainstream 'today's holiday' resources out there you will be woefully under-informed on any semblance of culturally inclusive culinary history. They act as if America's highly profitable rice crop (the MAIN ingredient) and its entire rice industry "didn't come from" the continent of Africa (which it DID…) along with its violently uprooted people who tirelessly implemented their know-how (e.g. intel on irrigation and such + engineering to make the crop so successful and PROFITABLE— in addition to the planting and harvesting toil-- and DID so for CENTURIES. Uncompensated. Of course with NO profit-sharing across the generations of wealth creation from it. no surprise on that).. Those mainstream sources also won't tell you….
