Amy McCarthy

And now for our second story of the *very first* day at @weareravenous.com, I wrote about the decline of the American sports bar, and how two very disparate forces — women's sports, and gambling — are shaping its future. www.weareravenous.com/women-sports...

reupping this idea, does anyone know Megan????

still surprised every fuckin time by the 2FA notification i requested mere seconds earlier

moving house in two weeks so yes I’m perfectly fucking sane why would you even ask me that

jaya on why everything is bank now is a must-read

what deranged freak decided that the perfect creation that is a Caesar salad needed kale

they really should invent a drug that can safely and humanely knock you the fuck out for the entire two weeks preceding an election

anything I have said while negotiating with my stubborn one year old border collie is forgiven by god

the weather has been cool in texas for like 12 hours and i have already made a pot of soup and plans to start a new stardew valley farm, cozy season is here motherfuckers

I wrote about a wonderful Instagram account that makes me feel envious and strange, and about who gets to be welcomed for their curiosity and ignorance www.weareravenous.com/tastebuds-ny...

extremely exciting news: @weareravenous.com commissioned its first freelance piece, and it's this banger essay from @nikostratis.com!!! what a day. www.weareravenous.com/wendys-emo-a...

Chef Melissa King's memoir is out today. Here, I interview her about taking five years to write it herself, why she felt readers needed to learn her family's complicated backstory to know about her, and about the one ingredient she'll never cook with www.weareravenous.com/its-good-to-...

Looking for a Saturday long read? How about my deep dive into the history of Tabasco, and my attempt to unravel more than a century of marketing and myth

I woke up and made biscuits and gravy and honestly I think that cured at least one of my mental illnesses

i was devoted to diet coke for so long (trauma bond) but coke zero really is That Girl

this is also quite a thing to say when the things that have long made the trades good, high-paying jobs -- UNIONS -- are being eroded across the country

gotta say i do not want to hear "choosin' texas" discourse from people who were ironically wearing realtree camo six months ago, thanks

icymi: I went long on the ~mysteriously~ murky Tabasco origin story

This good story brushes up on how Tabasco has become sneakily—or not so sneakily—déclassé in New Orleans. www.weareravenous.com/how-tabasco-...

In August, I took a trip to Avery Island -- yep, the one from the Neutral Milk Hotel album -- to learn everything I could about Tabasco, the world's most ubiquitous hot sauce. I came away with more questions than answers and my mouth ablaze. www.weareravenous.com/how-tabasco-...

Loved this piece from @francesdoingthings.bsky.social about Filipino eating in Forgotten Island

update: i have in fact been disappointed

oh goody, my baseball team is about to play! i was looking for something else to disappoint me.

guys am i a cop if i think you look annoying walking into a job interview with a coffee also i do not have a job

i love that every journalism job right now is "train the evil robot vizier for $500 an hour" or "write thousands of words in the hope that valnet's goblins will throw you a few nickels" that's really great

in my opinion we just gotta start telling people to shut the fuck up more
