My 7yo is ill. I'm not the preferred cook in our household. But I made a light khichuri yesterday with yellow moong dal (easy to digest), cauliflower and peas, and my child wanted seconds. My child likes to cook. Maybe he will make it for me one day. #FoodStories
Another lentil dish, but with a twist as it's cooked with rice to make a sort of savoury pudding that is perfect comfort food

This. We need to educate ourselves enough to take a stand. Not sit on the fence or spread/start from a point of fear that stops ourselves and other people from learning objectively and making this decision. #editing #publishing
Sorry, lovely people, but I'm not both-siding genAI. It's killing our planet, it's destroying people's lives and brains, it's enriching the already too rich. Yes, having conversations about it and educating people is important, but to me, that doesn't include acceptance or working with users.
