I've fallen in like with it only after making Salvadoran tamales--the stock needed for that was *so* much better. Unsurprisingly, adding tomatoes, peppers, and coriander leaf makes it so much brighter than the usual.
Stock making time. Letting this blurble for the afternoon before I use it tomorrow. #Foodsky#Food#InMyKitchen#SoupSeason
After hearing Maryanne Wolf speak on the Ezra Klein Show via @nytimes.com about "deep reading", I changed how I use social media. I also stopped trying to keep up with everything/everyone on multiple platforms, even if it means missing updates. Gradually regaining my focus, reading more books.
I've noticed that people have shorter attention spans when it comes to reading 😢. I noticed it in myself during pandemic, realized that doom-scrolling had its effect. I started purposely retraining my brain after hearing this interview w/Maryanne Wolf. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2022/11/22/o...

I've been putting in less time working because of this cold. Currently reviewing a transcription so I can get the script out. The AI transcription missed 90% of what I said/asked. Funny, that.
Yup. They're doing"fake it till you make it" just in a different way.
i'm sympathetic to the people who got bilked out of hundreds of dollars, but it seems to me they're victims of a larger cultural problem that gives unrealistic expectations of what a one-off event can feasibly *be* without spending truly enormous amounts of money. these dream events are unreasonable
It may seem like a small thing given (waves hands) everything else but grifters exploited Michigan’s Bridgerton fandom, who paid hundreds of dollars for “an evening of sophistication, grace, and historical charm” only to get undercooked chicken wings, and a pole dancer. wapo.st/3Y210ru
