Threw away an entire batch of veggie curry I made this afternoon because I realized I forgot to wash the kale I added, and even though I cooked it to death I’m paranoid about cyclospora. Plus when I was chopping the kale I could feel how sandy it was so I know the dish was gonna be gritty.

The thing about choosing an animistic framework as part of one’s relational & ethical worldview is that food waste comes with extra guilt and a tinge of grief. To borrow a word from Robin Wall Kimmer, the plants that went into making that pot of food were not honored. They died in vain.

The “stone” of mood rings is actually really pretty and they should make grown up jewelry with that element.

shoutout to the words "overmorrow" and "ereyesterday". english losing these words was stupid. "the day after tomorrow" "the day before yesterday" clunky-ass constructions. revolting. i'm bringing overmorrow and ereyesterday back in my idiolect and there is nothing you can do about it

from the bottom of my heart, i am tired of everyone trying to sell me something

I impulse bought a mood ring today at a local record store. Remember local record stores?? It was like stepping back in time 30 years in there. Additionally I got a Bhundu Boys cd, a cd of Sufi music from Morocco, and the Tower of Power vinyl.

Also got Indian for lunch and it was tasty but I’m a little annoyed they stuck a non-vegan gulab jamun on the vegan sample platter (I ate it anyway.)

idk i would personally rather give up access to certain products seasonally or locally than have people enslaved to give me the ability to have any product any place any time. i think i can go without tomatoes in january.

It sickens me to think of how much fresh healthy food (parasites aside) will be thrown away in the next few weeks.

[miceofpardise]

It’s really just a debilitating fear of making the “wrong” decision, which, you know, I can’t know until I’ve made one.

It’s so embarrassing that at 39 years old the slightest bit of mildly unpleasant time-sensitive adult responsibilities makes me fold like a deck chair.

Why is buying a laptop the most stressful thing in the entire world for someone who’s not tech savvy AT ALL but wants to avoid AI evil companies, insofar as that’s possible.

I miss my friend Alissandro. Why did he have to move back to Mexico City and suffer some sort of imbalance of the humors?

[miceofpardise]

I need to get offline and I need artistically, intellectually, emotionally stimulating connections with someone(s), in the flesh.
