RE: https://mastodon.online/@globalmuseum/115962931700636751 I needed this today - thanks @globalmuseum :ablobcatheart:

Finally! A new #bookmaking project! We discovered traveller’s notebooks this year. Love the concept but wanted to have one that was #vegan AND not made of plastic. I also wanted to make my own inserts. These are prototypes to see if the concept could work. I am so […] [Original post on mas.to]

It is 0°C in Vancouver this morning. I fear we will have to burn the furniture for warmth. Our toques cannot save us now.

Need some #tech help. Remember Google Music? Great service that #Google shut down like they do all great services. I had about 50 GB of #music#Google#techn it that I downloaded it but Google being Google, they files are all mixed up in the most stupid way possible. I was manually fixing it with Music Bee […]

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@kristiedegaris/115933667233263785 This thread is on fire. Really insightful, no-nonsense take. I remember when I first read "Wuthering Heights" and it did not feel that ambigious to me, either - despite our teacher's attempt to make it more complex. #books […]

[US Pol, Greenland, Minor Book Spoiler] In “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler, a demagogue elected US President whose slogan was “Make America Great Again” and encouraged an orgy of violence and Christian Nationalism was undone by an ill-conceived war in the Arctic to take territory and […]

It’s not the fastest way to travel, but it is definitely the most scenic

"Friendship ended with Mudasir"

This is really cool! Last year I read William Dalrymple's "The Golden Road" and central to its narrative are these trade routes. This was an experiment to reconstruct a lost 5th century CE ship design based on drawing in the Ajanta Caves. According to Dalrymple, images in the Ajanta Caves […]

I used to read fiction voraciously but these days not so much. At first I thought it was smartphonesm I think that's partly it, but I wonder if it's because there's just not much new, interesting stories from the Western side of things. Even indie writers aren't offering anything exciting. Just […]

At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users. We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few […]

Biryani is one of my all time fave foods. I tend to prefer the southern styles which isn’t easily available outside of south India. Which is why Kolapasi’s Vijayawada style biryani really hits the spot for me. Other faves in the Bay Area: Dindigul Thalappakatti (Milpitas), Appakadai (Sunnyvale […]

I generally know if an Indian restaurant abroad has flavors I like if they have lime soda (sweet or salty). Salty soda is amazing and I always order it. I wish we had salty sodas elsewhere. #food #indianfood

One of the hardest things about being an immigrant is I don’t know what to do wirh ‘rugged individualism’. I am considered one of the most ‘westernized’ and ‘independent’ people in the society I come from (people think it’s too much.. moving to a whole other country? Too independent) but Even […]

Happy New Year, everyone! It has been a year of many changes. Our son continues to grow and keep us on our toes. We are very well and our family is happy, which is a big blessing. Some news: I left my job in higher education and am going to be looking for something new. Something more aligned […]

First #book of the year! "Automatic Noodle" by @annaleen was so wonderful. I still have a big smile on my face. Beyond being a great #scifi, it is a love letter to San Francisco and the power of food to create #community (for humans and robots alike). And now I want […] [Original post on mas.to]

I know, I know, but I started the dough yesterday. This is a hybrid matnakash and a hybrid fougasse. #vegan #baking #sourdough #bread

[HK Fires (a little sad about the state of geopolitics)] Hesitated to post this, but this has bugged me the whole day. I don't like dumping sad stuff on my readers. At first, I was angry seeing all the spin the BBCs, Sky News and ABCs were doing around the HK fire. At a time when so many had […]

Asma Khan takes you to her fave restaurants in Kolkata. Kolkata’s food scene started my life long love for regional Indian food That I don’t get Bengali food regularly now makes me sad. But also, I feel so lucky I’ve eaten at every place in this video and therefore miss it even more […]

Saw this deal from Humble Bundle. How are these books, #bookstodon? I like mysteries but have not read this series before […]

I had a fun dream last night: Scientists report that time travel is theoretically possible, but practically difficult for most people to because if a time traveller violated ANY contract they previously signed, it could rip a hole in the space-time continuum. And when they say contracts, I mean […]

Hey #Bookstodon - I am in a bit of a reading rut and need some #recommendations to help me get out. Do you have any good recommendations for historical #fiction? I would even take some well-written #history or #travel#history#fiction#recommendations#bookstodonks. My only restriction is that I would like recommendation not focused on […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@UncannyMagazine/115551123076580444 This was a great story. As a new parent, the last conversation between the narrator and her mother in the story made me cry hard while I was sitting in a nearby cafe.

I have made many posts myself lately - just very busy with a new baby and life! Still here and hope to be a bit more active soon. How have things been going? Let me know in the comments! :)

Hi friends. Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica *hard* last month; my neighbour just shared with me that her mother and sister, who were evacuated before landfall, haven't been heard from since :( Melissa devastated her home community of Wakefield, but the ForUsGirls organization is organizing relief […]

I really think that people who haven’t been poor should not give money or frugality advice to poor people. The problem with poor people isn’t money management or knowledge, it’s the insufficiency of money. This goes for anyone who wants to help people on food stamps navigate this situation […]

So I have come to my first #Linux rite of passage - I delved too deep into the terminal and messed something up. The culprit was trying to mount the drive for @mailbox_org (using instructions way over my head) to @fedora on my @frameworkcomputer. I'll try to fix it […] [Original post on mas.to]
