Good morning, Newdists. It’s that time of year again. I’d almost forgotten it was pumpkin spice season, until I was walking the aisles of my local HEB and saw something in the soda aisle that made me gag a little:
I will admit to enjoying the flavor of pumpkin spice, in some contexts. I do enjoy a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks every now and then. According to the BF, that makes me “a basic white girl.” Sue me. This year, they have a pumpkin cream cold brew that I may or may not have had on a few different occasions. I even had a pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookie the other day. Again, sue me.
But I think we all know that the season can get a little...er...out of hand…
Then there are the things that don’t (yet) exist, but might actually be believable. And maybe, like pumpkin spice Spam, the Internet will wish them into existence.
How are you staying safe this pumpkin spice season?
What do you want to chat about this morning?
All are welcome to join the fun, the silliness, the conversations. If you don’t know...just ask! Some things really do require a bit of explanation.
There will be a few surprises along the way, all good ones, we hope.
We are here to keep building the Daily Kos Community.
We post Mon-Sun at 10:30 a.m. Eastern. On Sunday we go to the C!U!A! posting to show support for all the work being done to promote Democratic candidates/causes. Please to join us there, as well.
Pie fights will be met with outrageous ridicule and insults. Trolls will be incinerated and served at the next group BBQ. As briquettes.
