Over 2000 comments on #bagelgate (I 💜 you all btw) so I decided to write this week’s essay on it. I’ll also be including the recipe I’ve been using to make these glorious bagels. It pains me to have to say this but it seems necessary these days: every inch of this post was made by me—the words, the photos, the font selection, the text placement (I am no graphic designer as you can plainly see), as well as this caption (despite the em dash). I’ll ditch the comment prompt and leave the comments for substantive discussion. Sign up for the full essay (newsletter) in my bio. Email goes out tomorrow morning at 9 am EST. 🥯💕 #womensupportwomen #bagel
