Wacca washi calligraphy paper from PaperMind is nice but not as nice as Iroful (my current favorite). A machine made washi it has a regular texture on one side & is smooth on the other. Multiple fountain pens and inks write with a thinner stroke on it than other papers. No feathering or ghosting.

I ended up using two new fountain pen inks both from Wearingeul. Soyoungwije (purple with silver shimmer) and A Star Spattered Hill (dark yellow and gold shimmer)

For the Bostonites

Leftover black lentils, a scallion pancake, rice, and kimchi for supper

It is here! Two sheets of azuki Moriki kozo www.washiarts.com/dyed-and-col...

I would like my washi paper to get here

it turns out that rich people do not, in fact, actually mean it when they claim that if you tax them, they’ll totally ditch their nice blue state properties and move to darkest Chumblefuck, Arkansas

My five missing lego pieces will take “11-13 days” to ship to me. At least they were free.

Izzie is making oreo stuffed cookies. For when you want cookies in your cookies

This morning’s letter has been written and put in the mailbox. Today’s fountain pen ink was Diamine Pumpkin in a Pilot Metropolitan <CM> (a pen that I love). I’ve used all of my Diamine inks and will be moving on to some Sailor gray inks over the next two days.

30 minutes, 2 pans, 800 calories. Leftover lentils.

I know what I’m having for supper. Pita toasted in olive oil, puréed shakshuka (no eggs), fried eggs, black lentils, harissa, feta

I’m spending Saturday afternoon with a good friend. I’m looking forward to it.

I’m unsure of my thoughts about this hwæt ?/10

I used all my quail eggs on shakshuka pizza. I did not make teeny scotch eggs

New to me GenZ slang: hop, hopping. To know or understand

I use biscoffs for my cheesecake crust

I think I have six different kinds of envelopes. One has polar bears

Huge news: Uber and Lyft drivers in Massachusetts have officially unionized www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/25/b... #mapoli #1u

I’m happy with my Kalita Wave recipe. 206°F/96°C, 22g beans, grind 17 Baratza Virtuoso. Pour 60g h2o, bloom for 45s. Pour to 200g until 1:30. Wait 15s. Pour 50g until 2:00. Wait 15s. Pour 50g until 2:30. Wait 15s. Pour 65g until 3:00. Should finish by 3:20-3:25.

Alex at Dunkin’s gave me a free Oreo donut. Tasty if abominably sweet. I need to douse my palate with some hot sauce. Or maybe cornichons.

I occasionally think to myself how happy I am about the number of drunk text messages I haven’t sent since I stopped drinking

Glued stuff is in the book press drying

Shakshuka flatbread with lamb meatballs and no feta is also a success

I’ve decided I like 22g of coffee to 365g of water for my Kalita Wave

I have three knitting projects. I do not need to buy yarn for a fourth. But it’s so pretty.

Pointier knitting needles helped. I’ll try metal ones next (note to self: buy metal knitting needles)

virtualosmuseum.org If only I had the hardrive space for this... (though lite isn't too bad.)

On the phone with Izzie. “Got to go. It’s my child sacrifice class.” Apparently the midrasha is doing a deep dive into Moloch?

they can't fire the coders now that the token costs are going up so they'll try to fire the woman-coded departments next

I think I’ll make finnan haddie and potatoes tonight. Maybe with some greens

Megatokyo. I bought merch I liked it so much

This yarn is very splitty

My lego kit is missing all five instances of one piece. I will not be assembling the bonsai cherry tree in blossom today

My favorite pan is my 3 quart saucier

Shakshuka pizza is a success. Pizza dough, canned San Marzano tomatoes, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, Aleppo pepper, bell pepper, quail eggs, feta, salt, olive oil

I’ve run out of blades for my utility knife, and I need some. This is critical.

Even though it lacks a question mark this is inherently a questioning hwæt. This it gets a 4/10

This process is crashing so hard it’s killing its tmux window

No, you cannot “sweeten your black lentils with a little maple syrup.” I forbid it.

I need to pit two pounds of cherries, and I’m not going to do it tonight

I’m trying to work with fabric, and I don’t have any straight pins. Why don’t I have any straight pins?

I should probably eat something

Korean mild sweet oreos are fantastic

Advantage to making a 2kg/4.5lb loaf of bread? You can eat it for a week

I need more space for organizing and working on crafts. Obviously this means I need to take up woodworking to make shelving, desks, and chairs

I've decided 128GB of RAM (shared with CPU and GPU) isn't enough. I want 256GB. Also more memory bandwidth and better thermal management. Get on it Apple.

An 1100 calorie breakfast. Oatmeal with sea salt, peanut butter, pecans, and heavy cream

I’ve got coconut milk, galangal, lemongrass, markut lime leaves, and thai chilis. Some kind of curried fish with rice noodles is coming this week
