sooo Musk tosses out a Nazi salute (to applause!) at Trump’s inauguration? we’re so beyond cooked
kinda wild that TikTok shut us down at the account level so it won’t even work on a VPN
been waiting multiple days for confirmation emails for both Pixelfed and loops.video… i signed up skeptical that either would reasonably scale and this doesn’t really help lol
made Hainan chicken and rice for dinner and it was a lot of work, even with the instant pot version lol
just did my last quarterly estimated tax payments for the city of Portland 🥳 (because our new payroll provider actually does withholding unlike ADP, which is fucking ridiculous given they’re one of the biggest payroll providers in the country)
really wish that more restaurants would just have websites instead of announcing everything on instagram. i don’t want to be on any meta platform but that’s literally the only place that restaurants post.
finally risking it all and opening this ten year old nigori sake that someone found in their house and gave me last year. pray for me
feeling especially at peace with our early decision to defederate xoxo.zone from Threads
finally getting around to watching Hereditary and what is up with this trope of “person goes to group therapy and finally decides to deliver an epic monologue as everyone else stares down at their feet”

as was prophesied, everything on last night’s plate combined to make a killer za’atar fried chicken sandwich, but i did add a slice of pepperjack and harissa hot sauce for some kick. i love recipes where all the leftovers combine into a new dish like this
happy new year to everyone except people setting off fireworks
made some za’atar fried chicken (and tofu for my vegetarian partner) for dinner 😍
okay, i’ll admit it: i don’t understand the point of ghostty. is it just hyped because it’s Mitchell Hashimoto? tbh i’ve tried multiple terminal emulators and always just go back to the stock macOS Terminal.app
i made Ottolenghi’s butternut squash (kabocha for me), leek and za’atar pie for christmas eve dinner and it was sooo good
seems like there are far fewer houses lit up for the holidays this year 😭
the last friend in a group chat with one Android user finally updated their phone to iOS 18 so we could start taking advantage of RCS earlier this week. since then, all of our iPhones have split the conversation multiple times. i now have FOUR separate text threads. how does one even fix this
