Happy #LockInSzn! Here’s my Personal Curriculum. (Not pictured Data & AI e-Books.) I used Claude to create a college style syllabus for these (excluding The Artist Way) complete with discussion questions that will test my knowledge and also serve as content. 🩵✌🏾

Sooooo tonight I decided to try my hand at making Chili. I followed a pretty simple recipe and some advice from friends on how to prepare it. I wasn’t really sure about it in the beginning, but it turned out really well! My little food critic enjoyed it & asked for seconds. That’s a win in my book!

If I were to create my list of top 100 albums of my lifetime, this is in the top 10.

The image is a screenshot of a music streaming interface featuring Mark Ronson’s album Late Night Feelings. The album cover shows a broken, heart-shaped disco ball displayed within a wooden box, symbolizing themes of heartbreak and emotion. The album is categorized as pop, released in 2019, and available in lossless quality. Below the album title and artist’s name are options to play or shuffle the album. A description beneath reads, “Honesty, heartbreak, love, lust, elation: Those concepts are in a lot of music that I love, but it’s just never been…” followed by a “More” button for additional text. The tracklist includes songs such as “Late Night Prelude,” “Late Night Feelings (feat. Lykke Li),” “Find U Again (feat. Camila Cabello),” and “Pieces of Us (feat. King Princess).” The interface indicates that the song “Late Night Feelings (feat. Lykke Li)” is currently playing on a connected device labeled “TV Room.”

On Saturdays, we eat Steak. ❤️

The image shows a kitchen countertop setup with ingredients and tools prepared for cooking a steak. In the foreground, a raw, seasoned steak is placed on a wooden cutting board, with coarse salt and black pepper visible on top. A chef’s knife rests next to the steak on the cutting board. In the background, there are various condiments and ingredients, including a bottle of olive oil, truffle oil, sea salt, and black pepper. There’s also a jar of Gardel’s Chimichurri, a small bowl of garlic cloves, and a glass of white wine. A framed New York Times snippet titled “They’re Calling It ‘Girl Dinner’” is also displayed. The scene is cozy and organized, suggesting a gourmet cooking experience.

So has anyone listened to this yet?

The image is a screenshot of a music streaming interface showing Linkin Park’s album titled From Zero. The background features an abstract, colorful design with swirling patterns of pink, blue, black, and white, giving a fluid, cosmic look. The album details mention that it is an alternative genre album released in 2024 and available in lossless quality. Below the album title and artist name, there are options to play or shuffle the album. A description notes that this is Linkin Park’s first album in seven years and their first with singer Emily Armstrong. The tracklist includes songs like “From Zero (Intro),” “The Emptiness Machine,” “Cut the Bridge,” and “Heavy Is the Crown.”

New addition to the collection! #VinylCollection #VinylCollecters #Vinyl

The image shows a hand holding a vinyl record of Collision Course, a collaborative album by Jay-Z and Linkin Park. The album cover has a gritty, urban aesthetic with a metallic, graffiti-like background featuring sketch-style illustrations of various mechanical and robotic parts. The album title “JAY-Z / LINKIN PARK - COLLISION COURSE” is prominently displayed in bold, angular fonts with “Jay-Z” and “Linkin Park” in white and the album title in orange. The hand holding the album is positioned in the lower left, with light entering from the top, casting a glow over parts of the cover. The background is blurred, emphasizing the album cover’s intricate design.

So I’m almost done this book and I genuinely don’t understand what all the controversy has been about. 😭

The image shows a hand holding a copy of the book All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks. The cover is a bold red with black, lowercase text for the title and author’s name. The title is presented in a simple, elegant font, and the book is noted as a New York Times Bestseller. The background is blurred, featuring a soft, marbled pattern in neutral tones. The hand has light-colored nails and is holding the book from the lower-left corner.

So many new faces! Will be doing an introduction thread later

The image is a cute, cartoon-style character that resembles a round, yellow bee with small black antennae. The character has a friendly, smiling face with rosy cheeks, holding a small white flower with both hands. It has simple, black-lined eyes and a black stripe around its lower body, representing the bee’s signature stripes. The overall appearance is cheerful and endearing.
