I ran an experiment with our snickerdoodle cookies- baking as a ball or a disk. The disks had a better density and texture for packing into lunches, but the ball of dough gave that expected pretty crackle on the top I want in a snickerdoodle

I kind of forgot I had bluesky and skylight accounts. I really don’t want to separate things here like I did on the clock app, so all of the books, crafts, and cooking are coming here in one big pile. 🍪

Let’s make cookies for a dad joke. I admit I forgot I had a skylight account until the clock app announcements today.

Just a reminder that you can follow the WHO here and get their newsletter to stay informed even if our current administration is trying to pull us away from them.

Reading is political. Reading has always been political. Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

This message is for
@mm-rees.bsky.social
so if you’re not her, you can be nosy anyway. Ma’am. MA’AM! The last half of The Oracle’s Journey that I just read on the plane is everything I needed for romantasy. The combat, the magic, the SPICE! 5⭐️ & devouring the next book on this next flight.

About halfway through Oracle’s Journey by
@mm-rees.bsky.social
after last night and thoughts so far- Really well-written characters with unique personalities, interesting story so far, easy to follow combat scenes.

I hate when I finish a book that’s been so high recommended and have no desire to read book two. So many times a book series gets better after book one, but I just don’t have it in me to push through this week. Looking for recommendations on something with romantasy or vampire vibes.

If you have anyone in your life that is LGBTQIA+, no you don’t. If you know anyone trans or non-binary (especially minors), no you don’t. If you know anyone undocumented, no you don’t. If you know anyone who’s not Christian, no you don’t. Now is not the time to leave digital footprints to them.

Unedited iPhone shot of the coast in Northern California during my visit last month. That’s it. That’s the post. I just figured you might need something pretty to break up your timeline this morning. Hang in there. 💜🖤

Reposting this as I’ve gotten more followers on here- My MIL is here on Bluesky and Twitch. Not only did she raise the absolute LOML, but she teaches people how to craft and shows her adorable dogs on stream. (My Christmas gift in the photo 🥹)

The task today to avoid the dread of what’s happening this afternoon is to make friends. Find connections with people that understand why you’re sad and still want to find a way to experience joy after today too.

Bluesky keeps showing me cross stitch content so now I’m just like 🤔 hmm, I guess I *do* need a new hobby don’t I?

Fun thing 🙄 that happens when I make bread for French toast- turning around to see my partner and kids silently eating it behind my back like a bunch of sneaky vultures. When I know I’m going to use it this way, I triple the amount of honey I normally use in sourdough or double for yeast bread. 🍯

Tiktok is back but it’s suspicious as all hell. Can we still connect here and better apps when they launch?
@pissedoffbartender.bsky.social
told us to keep the boots out of our mouths and I intend to if Tiktok shifts.

Mocktail and a musical. I’ve been waiting so impatiently to see Six since it was announced.

, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

How are we feeling about Pixelfed as an Instagram alternative? It seems like a stripped down pre-meta IG but it lags hard for me and doesn’t feel stable yet. Any others you all have found?

Now that we’re all enjoying text based connections with each other on top of our doom scrolling, can we bring back blogging?

Trying to find my way to the

It’s done. The end of an era, but the beginning of a new one. I’m excited to watch the development of
@skylight.social
and reconnecting with all of the accounts that made me smile over the last 5 years on Tiktok. Booktok, where are you?

I was never good at the pretty soft smile we all tried to have when IG came out, but I honestly don’t need it anymore. At my age smiles from joy make wrinkles, they might be uneven, they might show your double chin, but they’re *real* and that’s so beautiful.

I probably shouldn’t have made grand plans just in time for the
#tiktokban
to happen. I guess I didn’t think it would really go through. For now I think I’ll stay here and YouTube, and eventually Neptune when it’s ready.

Something I will miss so much in my upcoming move is my favorite little coffee shop down the road. The little touches make me smile.

I wonder if this works here too. I am a 36 year old obsessive crafter and home baker who loves to share my hobbies with friends. I am a mom to two teens and I’m with the love of my life. I’m looking for friends who like reading, crafting, cooking, baking, gardening, and being hobbits together. 💜🖤
