Somewhere in our Tetris packed car was our 12 year old. Can confirm he made it out alive.

We went to Costco. It was a glorious time.

Happy Monday! Can’t wait to cut into this sourdough loaf in a few hours.

I’m officially a sourdough girlie. My first loaf turned out amazing today!

It’s day 4 for rehydrating Eve and she doubled. Meanwhile Jenny is… being Jenny and not doing a whole lot of anything. I refuse to give up, though!

Plot twist. Jenny has not been rising consistently. I ordered a bread proofer (cozybread.com) & am hopping on the TikTok bandwagon with Eve (thesouthernsourdoughco.myshopify.com/). I’m keeping Jenny, and I’m interested to see if I can make bread with both and compare. SCIENCE PROJECT!

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Jenny Starter Update. She had been pretending to not know how to rise so I starved her yesterday, and put her in a clean glass with a 2:2:1 ratio today. Lo and behold she remembered how to do her damn job. Saturday is gonna be baking day for my first loaf. Finally!

Jenny was messing with me. It seemed like she had stopped rising so I put her in a fresh, clean jar. She rose and fell overnight! Tomorrow may be my first attempt at baking with her… depending on how much we decide to cook for the Super Bowl 😊

Unlike Elon Musk and the DOGE, we know what it’s like to actually work for a living. And we’re not going to let one unaccountable billionaire rig the government for himself. That’s where we come in. We’re the Department of People Who Work for a Living. deptofpeoplewhowork.org

100th day of school means dressing up as a 100 year old man 💕

She’s being extra today. Passed the float test! Going to continue a few more days of feeding before I start baking with her. That will be an endeavor for this weekend.

Day 5. She doubled earlier this morning and is bubbly. Going to feed her again later this evening.

Jenny got an upgrade to a Weck jar tonight.

Jenny did some good work overnight. She’s enjoying being in the oven with the light on. Looking forward to feeding her this evening, and I have some bigger jars getting delivered today, too.

I’m on day 2 of making a sourdough starter. Say hello to Jenny!

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

What could possibly go wrong.

Nice to see friends as far back as high school and college slowly migrating over to here. Can’t wait for @skylight.social to also provide video content, too!

We’re looking for beta testers! Here’s how it works: 📱 Create a short video 🦋 Post the video to BlueSky ✨ Tag @skylight.social We’ll reach out with an invitation to join the beta!

@skylight.social We’re using atproto to build a TikTok replacement. We’ll continue to post updates on Bluesky! Follow along if you’d like to see the process and comment with any suggestions!

Trump says he's going to pull out of the Paris Agreement. That's a bad move, but it's not "game over" for climate -- not at all! It's "game on," and we must now focus on new climate leadership and new climate tactics. That's what we're going to do at @projectdrawdown.bsky.social

Hell is empty, And all the devils are here.

RIP TikTok. It should’ve been Twitter

TikTok Timeline: 1. Trump calls for immediate ban citing nat sec 2. Rs introduce bill 3. Rs secure Dem support after Biden insists it be softened from ban to divestiture 4. Trump reverses position after meeting with TikTok CEO during campaign 5. Chinese owners refuse to divest 6. People blame Dems

This massive Rednote migration is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.

There were so many steps in the right direction. Now we must try to keep what gains we achieved.

2025 will be a critical year on the road to address climate change. Despite the growing sense of alarm, we are still falling behind. But we can catch up — especially if we are smart. The best place to focus now is on large, cheap, and *fast* climate solutions — that pull the “emergency breaks”.

I’ve been perusing the Commons app this holiday season to try to shop more with vendors focused on sustainability. Today’s haul was a refresh of my key beauty items from saiehello.com. Used DARA15 for 15% off, too!

"We should have free health care for all!" "Who's gonna pay for it?" Says Mr. Smug "The taxpayers" "Who's gonna benefit from it?" "The taxpayers" See how that works? We need to stop ending the conversation at "who's gonna pay for it?" as if that's some brilliant Gotcha question.
