Desperately needed tl;dr:

Wear an N95 or stay indoors.

Do you also offer a service to get the recipes from food blogs without having to read an autobiography?

Omg I fucking hate food blogs. Nobody wants an essay on the history of lentils followed by a 5-page story about the first time the author tried coriander!

Just give me a bullet point list you assholes! I don’t care if you get more ad money if I have to scroll for 30 seconds.

Reader mode at least helps you cut to the chase.
