The importance of melting your chocolate the right way. And yes, I screamed.

Any ideas of what to do with the one on the left? #baking
Two glass bowls of melted chocolate sitting on a stovetop. While the one on the right is creamy, smooth, and light brown, the one on the left has split, consisting of dark brown grainy chocolate solids and oil. It’s visibly unappetizing.

I once posted a photo of a Mandarin duck on the F-platform and got the photo pulled and myself suspended for 24 hours for reasons I still don’t understand. I’m curious what #Bluesky will do.

Two years ago today, I saw Patrick Stewart talk about his memoir, Making It So, during his book tour. I was in the front row—you can actually see me in this photo. One of the most fulfilling moments of my life! #startrek #scifi #booksky
Ari Shapiro and Patrick Stewart standing on a stage with Patrick Stewart’s memoir “Making It So” in Ari’s hand. Behind them is a large audience, many of whom are also holding Stewart’s memoir.

I will never forget when my sixth grade social studies teacher called me dramatic.
A three-panel cartoon by Nathan W. Pyle. The first panel shows a person saying, “You are being too dramatic” to another person who does not look amused. The second panel shows that person, to the shock of the first person, contorting their body into the letter “O.” The third panel shows the person then contorting their body into the letters “Am I.”

I want you all to scream at me from the twists and tragic character deaths. If you don’t hate me, I didn’t do a good job. 🤪
