clubhouse chat: persimmon says

simon says touch your toes. persimmon says eat the season. the runway just voted and the club's fruit bowl won: fashion is crowning persimmon the color that replaces cherry red this fall, which is funny, because we called cherry first. the freshman assumes they are strange tomatoes, the thirty-something grabs two because the feed says persimmon is an aesthetic now, and grandma has been slicing them every october for fifty years without once calling it a trend. she was right all along. read to the end: the passed note says exactly which persimmon to buy and when to bite it.

the glow file

are persimmons good for you? embarrassingly, yes. one persimmon carries about six grams of fiber, more than half a day of vitamin a, and a fifth of your vitamin c, per the american heart association. the pretty fact first: that sunset color is beta carotene, linked to lower heart disease risk. one step up: persimmon flavonoids run with lower blood pressure, less inflammation, and lower ldl. and for the members who like receipts, a review in nutrients reports persimmon tannins bind cholesterol and walk it out of the body, with phenolics that tested twenty times more potent than vitamin e in the lab. fine print, because this club reads it: most of that is early science, so we file it under promising, not proven. the fruit is still a slam dunk. speaking of the lunch line.

the piggy bank

in norton, kansas, about thirty men at the norton correctional facility heard the local school district was carrying six thousand dollars in student lunch debt and quietly raised four thousand two hundred sixty seven dollars to clear most of it, many because they remembered being the hungry kid. the superintendent said they took it upon themselves. no cameras, just neighbors nobody expected acting like neighbors. and not even the week's only quiet hero.

heard at the clubhouse

christian bale spent nearly twenty years building something with zero franchise potential: together california, a foster village in palmdale that opened this month with twelve furnished homes built to keep siblings together. nearly nine million dollars raised, one very quiet batman. his line at the ribbon: it's our job to turn their heartbreak and their pain into love and hope and a sense of future. the sunshine page stays on the comeback beat.

the sunshine page

two years after the biggest dam removal in history, more than twenty thousand chinook salmon have come home to the klamath river. a new study in scientific reports counted fish back in 88 percent of their historical range in two seasons, some swimming 360 river miles to water no salmon had touched in a century. the karuk, klamath, and yurok tribes spent generations saying the river would remember. it did. now dress for the season.

the dress code

the runway pairing of the fall, per marie claire, was persimmon over butter yellow. the club's butter yellow already hangs in the studio: the friday studio bra in daisy yellow, forty dollars, built for friday classes and persimmon-colored juice runs. wear the trend's better half. eat the trend itself.

the passed note

the persimmon rule, pass it on: flat like a tomato means fuyu, eat it today, crisp as an apple. acorn shaped means hachiya, wait until it feels like a water balloon or it will dry your mouth like strong tea. slice a fuyu over saturday's yogurt, and if you missed last week's fruit homework, seed money is still on the syllabus. persimmon says: eat the season.

send this to a friend. that's how the club grows.
