Silversmush

I got to the bottom of the stairs of tracks 1-2 in Trenton and was immediately encircled by a bunch of transit cops and a guy who barked at me to show my ticket. It gave me an anxiety attack. I didn't hear about the program until after, but I felt threatened and scared at the time.

I never liked egg salad, but holy god, adding kala namak to smashed chickpea salad makes it positivity S-tier.

Let's go, New Jersey! 🌊

I was riding down the road one day
Someone hit a possum

Someone hit a possum
The road was his end
His end was the road

Got a robot vacuum. Papa's still coming to terms with it.

In memoriam...

RIP my beloved Breath Mints

The dumbest hill I am willing to die on is that Orgy's 1998 cover of Blue Monday is better than New Order's original.

You know dinner is about to go hard when your hot sauce issues a preemptive apology

I started reading the Washington Post shortly after I learned to read! All through school, I would come home and read almost the entire edition. I learned so much and the habit shaped me into the adult I am today. Canceling my Post subscription last year was painful.

A purple paperback copy of The Midnight Examiner by William Kotzwinkle with a Bob Ross mug filled with tea.

Enjoying some absolute insanity from William Kotzwinkle paired with several mugs of Tata Gold. #booksky #teasky

We had 10 minutes of decent weather today, fortunately we were on the beach during sunset at the time 🌅

A metal tin half filled with broken up pieces of raw puerh.

Drinking a big mug of Yunnan Sourcing's 2017 Yi Wu "Yi Bi Village" Wild Arbor raw puerh. I'm not one to wax poetic about cha qi, or even believe in such things, but I can't deny that this tea feels good. It's both stimulating and relaxing, plus it tastes lovely. #teasky

A black mug shaped like a cat with steaming tea in it. It's sitting on a brown cat tree.

Working from home today, so I get to use a real mug for once.

Today's tea is Rowena from @tabletopteas.bsky.social, a Lady Grey with cream flavor. It's delicious! #teasky

An audiobook player displaying Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt

...Well, that last book was a slog. Better make up for it with something really dang cool!

But in all seriousness, all the economic material I consume is from sources with whom I generally agree. This is a departure, and a time capsule, so it's interesting in its own way #booksky

Six 500g pouches of yerba mate: Más Sabor, Buenas y Santas, Arroyo Verde sauve, Tamanduá, Cachamare, and Sara's special 100-year blend

Yerba haul! #teasky

A freshly opened 500g pouch of Yorkshire Gold, with a bunch of tea in the background

Back up to my Yorkshire Gold nonsense. It's the blend that turned me into a tea person and I never seem to get tired of it. #teasky

Cover art for The Good Byline by Jill Orr

The difficult part about reading is starting a new book. I'm always like, "What nonsense am I about to get myself into? Am I equipped for this?"

Anyway, today I'm starting The Good Byline by Jill Orr #booksky

Treated myself to a thermos of Yunnan Sourcing's 2015 guan yang "Wild White" gong mei today. I love the yeasty baked goods flavor of this #tea - and getting over 1.3L of tea out of 10g of leaf isn't bad either. #teasky

I was excited to attend the 2026 Indy 500 as my first in-person Indy race. But locals' tepid response to the "Speedway Slammer" news is making me rethink my plans. If you're fine with having an internment camp in your backyard, I don't want anything to do with your event.

Punkzilla by Adam Rapp is pretty delightful so far. #booksky
