They take a dedicated and important spot on our tables

They are undoubtedly and categorically the most photogenic kitchen appliance

Their version of breaking up with us is coming into contact with our keyboard; kissing it every so deeply. Breaking our souls and computers

They can handle outstandingly hot liquids like my paternal Jewish grandmother bringing hot soup over to the dinner table with her bare fucking hands

They are works of art. Have you even been on Instagram?

They allow us humans to stay awake at places like the dmv, visa offices, during class, when our (Jewish) mothers are lecturing us, and also when we’ve got writer’s block.
