Are our bubbles problematic?
Sourdough flaxseed-wheat in morning sunlight.

Divested from Meta this morning.
Posted a farewell message to the 700+ followers, saying the shoes looked nice, but they never felt right on my feet.
Attention is the most valuable currency. Where we focus intentions says a lot about our values, longings, and hopes for the future.

I ran up the SF Bay Bridge to Yerba Buena Island this morning. Caught a beautiful sunrise.
Cargo cranes. Tugged container ships. 'Goods' from around the world arriving around the clock. A strange chemical smell.
Thought a lot about disinvestment from certain socials.

Slinking toward comforting irrelevance; yearning to turn away from the Meta in favor of delivering hand-mixed sourdough breads to my North Oakland community. Not pining for likes and subscribes, but resonant 'mmms' & 'yums. The slight shift in countenance at first bite.
You made this!?
Yes I did.

a dear friend gifted me an 8-qt container of brown flaxseeds. I soaked and added some to dough a couple of years ago...and from that gift was born one of my most popular loaves.
