This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but with a fart noise and two middle fingers

Read this book!! It will make you feel hope and like maybe we are not destined for the worst outcome!! 📣
Just finished reading The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer. A comforting read, and much needed break from the news. Thank you @alliemounce.bsky.social for the recommendation!

I made a croissant sourdough loaf and I think it might be the perfect version of bread

Speaking of failing at hobbies, I think I accidentally cooked my starter by leaving the “warm” setting on my oven woops

I’m so thankful for getting into hobbies that require trial and error because failing over and over again has reminded me that it’s actually so fun to be bad at something and improve over time

Short answer: no, we’re going to run his ketamine-addled ass out of town

I’ve decided to only post silly inconsequential content here because currently the vibes are so dire I find it hard to hang out very often and I would really like this to be my main internet home

I feel more accomplished about finally making a good looking boule of sourdough than I have about winning any design award ever

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

My local movie theater really messed up not doing a drink special for The Brutalist that’s one of those two feet tall drinks they give you on the street in New Orleans

Got my loaf to make an ear finally!! I picked a great time to get into a distracting hobby that makes carbs

I’ve already tapped the dead tiktok app multiple times today where tf am I supposed to find a sourdough discard bagel recipe now

Baby’s second bread!! Still a little flatter than I want but much improved aesthetically, next time I’ll try stitching the bottom to add more tension/spring while baking

I measure my mental health by what I call The Burnham Scale, aka how often I catch myself humming or singing “That Funny Feeling” to myself in a day. Ideally it’s at 0-1 and I’m clocking a 4-5 right now so I am not doing great!

Baby’s first bread!! I didn’t proof it well or score it correctly but it tastes great anyway

I feel strongly that the universe pushes us toward what we are meant to do, and gives us the tools and opportunities we need when we make moves toward what we’re supposed to be doing. The painful part is when you fight to stay where you’re comfortable and not letting go and letting change happen.

I think we gotta start valuing (and paying for) curation by humans again. We want less, put together thoughtfully.
