It's very funny to me that you can tell when I got laid off by just by my streaming numbers lol
From Tidal Music's yearly wrapup, a list of months is overlaid by a green block of text that shows the number of music streams for those months. From January to March each month shows around 1.5k streams but drops dramatically in April to a mere 574 streams (I was laid off in early April.)

Bread day!!
A photo of a loaf of crusty sourdough bread cooling on a rack. It is a batard with a score down the middle and a small wheat pattern scored along the right side. The crust is a deep brown covered lightly with rice flour.

Fellow Californians, please remember to vote today! I dropped off my ballot off this morning and it couldn't have been easier 💪

I think I've officially peaked as a baker. I'll never love anything as much as I love this Tiny Loaf.
An overhead photo of a small artisan style bread boule on a small scrap of parchment paper inside an equally small ramekin that looks like a tiny le creuset dutch oven. The appearance is exactly like a normal sized bread boule in color and scoring but is overall about the size of a golf ball. A hand holds the small bread boule and parchment paper, the bread is small enough to fit inside the palm of the hand. A regular-sized artisan style crusty bread loaf is sitting on a cooling rack next to the small boule. The tiny bread boule is sitting in front of the regular loaf and has been cut in half and is stacked to display the crumb of the small loaf which stands about 1 inch tall. The small loaf is absolutely dwarfed by the regular loaf behind it.

Additionally if you have a cat they will even assist you by holding the fabric down. How helpful!

Did you guys know that if you want to make yourself a little hobbit cloak you can just make one? Did y'all know they just let you do this??
Katie is facing the camera holding a peace sign while wearing a dark green hooded cloak held together at the neck with a leaf brooch in the style of those seen in Lord of the Rings.

The true horror of this escape room place was the bathroom. (also new haircut hello)
A mirror selfie in a bathroom bathed in a horror-esque red light. In the background is a high shelf with several haunted looking dolls and to the left and right are somewhat disturbing photos of an eye and a face with an eye in the forehead. Also Katie's haircut is looking fresh AF.

I got a Kobo color ereader as an early birthday gift for myself and I'm really enjoying it! The downside is I've rediscovered staying up into the wee hours at the expense of my sleep like I'm a teenager again.
An e-reader is laying on a bed showing the color cover of the manga "She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat vol.5" a cat with Siamese coloring sniffs the corner disinterestedly

I splurged last minute and got a front row seat to see Bernadette Peters, Lea Salonga and the brilliant cast of Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends and let me tell you it was worth EVERY PENNY.
A playbill for the musical Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends is held in the foreground, behind which is the stage for the musical with a marquee saying "Old Friends" suspended above the stage.

I just finished The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty and I enjoyed every minute of the audiobook!! A retired pirate captain gets her crew back together for "one last job" in order to accrue a fortune and save her family, and everything definitely goes exactly to plan...

I still remember the Cal supporters last time I went to a UCLA v CAL meet. Y'all are committed 😂
A photo of the crowd in a gymnasium. A group of fans wearing the yellow and blue of UC Berkeley are standing and cheering holding pom poms and shouting support for their gymnasts.

This one sold me
A screenshot of a reddit comment that reads: "How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster) Marie Cardno - Lesbian cthulu romcom!! Need I say more? Marie's writing is genuinely laugh-out-loud hilarious and the gays are so gay."

I saw wicked for the first time in probably a decade and it was excellent!!

It appears my cat is a @drawfeeshow.com fan.
A cat with Siamese coloring sits on a table looking up at a television. On the screen is a line drawing of a man with exaggeratedly long legs carrying a tray with a "volume up" symbol sitting atop it.

I am an ADULT I will 3D print a pretty little silk pillow for my pretty little pink viddy game controller.

I love how my new 3d printer has a lil built in camera so I can see how my print is going away from home. The future is NOW.
A screen showing the settings and progress of a file being 3d printed. The file is a blue and pink print-in-place storage box with 3 compartments. The top section of the screen shows a live feed of the print, followed below with the name of the file and percent completed with buttons to skip, pause, or stop the print. The lower third of the screen shows the temperature of the nozzle and bed, followed by the speed of the print, and below that the available filament loaded into the AMS connected to the printer is displayed.

It's been a little while since I've regularly used social media so please allow me to offer this little cake I made.
A small cake with chocolate icing sitting on an orange side plate. There are multi-colored star-shaped sprinkles along the bottom half of the sides and across the top.
