I replaced the honey with brown sugar in my latest round of bread on a whim. The touch of molasses flavor is delicious yet super mild.

I’ve been drawing so much lately. Getting much more comfortable with sketching directly on the iPad, whereas I used to always start with my traditional sketchbook.
It’s so hard to post anything though. The negative comments get to me drastically worse than they used to, even during my FaceOff time.

Job hunting is so ridiculous when you need a bachelor’s to even be considered for a pt position selling artisanal honey at the pier. $18/hr, 15hrs a week with fully open schedule, and at least 2yrs retail experience and degree required. wtf

Baking bread to warm up the kitchen while I’m working in here is the style of multitasking I’ve been feeling lately.

I’d been feeling a relatively mid-level appreciation for my artwork coming out of 2024, and was happy to be seeing great skill improvements. I didn’t expect 2025 to immediately slam me with the worst feelings of imposter syndrome in a long time.

I’ve been on RedNote and the culture shock is unreal. The prejudice ingrained into me about the Chinese culture and lifestyle makes me sick. I didn’t even realize. ☹️

The true test of the Bluesky takeover will be when CA has an earthquake and how long it takes for someone to post about it here.
