In the new year, I plan to jump on the sourdough train. My kids love sourdough and maybe I can learn how to make it myself instead of paying so much for it.

It doesn't feel like Christmas Eve because it's warm and sunny. This is my third Christmas in Australia. Will I ever get used to it?

I have a bunch of old recipe cards that were my grandmothers - she was married in the mid late 30s, and the newest ones seem to be from the 70s. Some were from the milkman when he made deliveries. This one is from the bottom of an order form, but some are promotional Betty Crocker recipe cards.

Ok so I've joined @pagebound.bsky.social and I've become "royalty" which doesn't cost much and I want the site to stick around and remain just a place where people talk about books and not an advertising forum. So far so good.

The cat got stuck in the pantry last night and destroyed everything. I’m home from work today cleaning the cat and the pantry. The cat is fine, though a bit spooked. Photo of said cat:

Daylight savings time starts tonight in Australia - or, really, early tomorrow morning. It is always an adjustment.

I bought a book, and as I was reading it realized I had already read it. This is why I am now keeping a reading journal. I wish I starting doing it ages ago.

If I don't see a real person in the thumbnail of a YouTube video, I assume it's AI and just skip it. I have no use for AI videos.

Big sigh. Watch this.
Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?
No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

I've had the same water bottle for about 6 years, but the top was hard to clean and broke at some point so it leaked, and I've been dealing with that. But then I bought a new top, and it's been redesigned, and the new one looks easy to clean, and it's like I have a new water bottle.

Dems should fight on every front.
If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.
We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.
Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?
