To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.

YIKES, no thanks. I’m gonna be alive inside every damn thing I do, even and especially the ish I don’t wanna do.

I mean, it IS delicious. Life changing? I’ll let you be the judge. I do put twice as much crystalized ginger in 😋

On my list of things to worry about, that is much lower than other things! Now I’m going to do the compartmentalization boogie!

Many years ago I talked with a historian who is very knowledgeable about TB. She said something like “we are living in a window of time where antibiotics work” and I think about that frequently.

I made apple pie bars but ran out of cinnamon so I subbed cardamom and someone suggested trying grains of paradise next time!

One weird thing about book bans is that the authors of banned books have been ignored or sidelined in a lot of the discourse and in the anti-censorship activism. So I’m not exactly “glad” to see this article, but I appreciate it a lot. electricliterature.com/book-bans-co...

There are societal, financial, legal, and emotional consequences to book challenges, and writers are facing the brunt of these attacks

They want to hold to the last vestiges of power when there are literally people who voters want to vote for. Fuck them.

I’m with the other people: antibiotics!!

With us! Against us! Nuance doesn’t exist anymore. Which is honestly worse. It’s awful.

Ohh interesting. Yeah I got this at World Spice just behind Pike Place Market. They carry spices that are hard to get from other places (at least where I can access via bus/walking).

I spend far too much time thinking about how much meaning gets projected on to things and especially food
