Give me food 🐟

I kept wondering what I did in late 2016 onward to keep my brain occupied instead of spiraling. And then I remembered that I was in pastry school (all lab classes) AND working almost full time. I'm not sure that's the answer this time...but maybe? πŸ€”

(Snow) angels in the outfield Just another day working in minor league baseball for our front office!

A sincere thank you to everyone out there making music, releasing, touring, etc. You keep so much darkness at bay and give us reasons to look forward to the future. I really can't express my gratitude enough.

Y'all!!!! @bitemebambi.bsky.social is going to be in Raleigh this summer!!! And Less Than Jake too, obviously, but I already know they put on an incredible show. Let's go!! πŸŽΊπŸπŸŽ‰

My starter is still building up strength, and it's definitely not bread ready yet. So in the meantime... I'm spending my snow day making @chefjohn.bsky.social's big bubble focaccia. There will be yummy bread, plus all the olive oil is like a spa treatment for my hands. πŸ«’

Ahh yes, my favorite phase of nurturing a sourdough starter. Taking forever to get bubbles, but not doubles, so there's no interesting pictures (or bread) to show for it. And no matter how well I think I wash my hands, there's always a bit of dried starter goop on/under one of my nails. πŸ₯– 🫧

What in the Slap Shot is happening? #4Nations

I hope everyone's marriage is this fun and ridiculous. πŸ₯° And now he has proof that I'm not the only person who knows that song! (I already knew that. But musically, while we do have some very solid overlap, we are often in very different bubbles.) πŸͺ©πŸ•ΊπŸΌ

Friends in the Triangle! Are any of y'all into woodworking? My 5th anniversary is coming up... my husband's wanted to take that up for a long time, and I've always found it interesting. So I'm thinking maybe a class? I'd love any thoughts/references/recommendations in the area!

Write out of fear. Write out of spite. Write out of anger, anxiety, love, hope, despair. Write that weird shit. Write fucked up stories. Write to inspire. Whatever it is, write what only you can write, what truly drives your passion. There is no one right way or motivator or inspiration. Just yours.

Promote your book, film, project, game, jewelry, comic, whatever you came up with in your beautiful imagination. I am doubling down on ordering books from the library, watching films/tv, escaping through what artists create. Tell us about it. Promote it without shame. Please. Now more than ever. πŸ’š

Happy Birthday to #AlaquaCox who portrays #ECHO #MayaLopez Who's excited for the new Daredevil Born Again series next month? kirbyscomicartshop.com/collections/...

The stress level right now is like BANGS? SHAVE HEAD? GO BLOND? TACO? CHEESE SAUCE? BROWNIES? YES? RENOVATE ENTIRE HOME? SIX MORE CATS? TINY HORSE? SELL MYSELF TO A CANADIAN LIKE AN EXOTIC PET?

Just because something isn’t β€œfor you”, doesn’t mean it should go away.

Me: Where is the thermometer? J: It's with the scale! Me: But I can't find the scale... *opens a drawer that neither of them live in* Oh. Well, there's the scale!πŸ˜… J: *points excitedly* And there's the thermometer!😁 Me: Umm, you're right! But I don't know why I put either of them in here.

Telling my grandkids we climb light poles when the Eagles win in honor of the New Deal, electrification, & most importantly the Philadelphia Eagles #GOBIRDS πŸ¦…πŸ¦…πŸ¦…

In other and way less exciting news: we've moved from the seed culture stage to the barm/actual starter stage. The bubbles are bigger, which is geeat, but we did slow way down. Here's where we were at the 8 hour mark. It's normal. It's chilly and rainy outside, but it'll perk back up.
