This ep is one of my favorite things on earth

A screen from Duolingo where “C’erano quattro luci” is translated from Italian to “There were four lights!” in English.

Italian Jean-Luc Picard to the Cardassians.

My child’s first exposure to Christmas music was Bad Religion’s Christmas Songs so she believes this to be Christmas music in its purest form and anything else to be a disappointing imitation.

Thank you, friend

Turkish mosaic lamp with red, green, pink and white tiles that I made with my own hands. It is lighting the darkness of my dining room.

Behold! I have made a lamp.

A Duolingo screen where the Irish sentence, “Tá sú ag an bportán,” is shown correctly translated as, “The crab has juice.”

Mother Nature, explaining carcinisation.

Sourdough boule, nestled in parchment paper inside a Dutch oven.

Also finally made a proper crusty boule from the starter I’ve been nurturing for months. Should have taken a picture of my first attempt because it was so sad and flat but I learned and got better!

It’s so good 😭 Come eat this bread

Two sourdough sandwich loaves on a cooling rack on a counter. One has already been sliced into. Neither will last long.

Sourdough sandwich bread. Despite being very much a sweets person, this might be my favorite thing I know how to bake.

Haha, wonderful. This has been my most listened to album of the past month!

Third sublimely beautiful fall weekend in a row to be taking my kid to our little activities and errands in the many picturesque New England towns that surround us.

My kid loves The Pebble and the Man

When I’m in Massachusetts I always expect some frank bitching

Been volunteering with a local resettlement agency and recently helped a refugee couple renew their health insurance. Found out they are expecting their first child next month so, with the help of some friends, put together a pretty deluxe new baby care package for them.

I’ve also heard ripshit used as a state of being, for example, “If I’d been there I would’ve been ripshit.” As far as I am aware one can only go apeshit, but cannot BE apeshit.

On the other hand, I find it a beautifully evocative term that perhaps the wider world needs to become better acquainted with!

I used the term ripshit in front of my spouse and learned that it is not a word midwesterners are familiar with.

Just got my covid and flu shots and current status is covid arm feels fine, flu arm hurts a great deal . Unfortunate because we expected the opposite to be true so the flu shot went in my dominant arm. Love to be vaxxed while I still can though 🙃

Sakher needs help to get his family away from the worst of the bombing.

Solidarity with Emily because I also often crave trash when I am sick. But also solidarity with Chris because my true “mom made this when I was sick as a kid” food is pastina.

Sending me your finest “getting a sick job offer” vibes
