[text ID: I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.]

You need love.

Hopefully it's love for the people you're cooking for, because the greatest and most memorable meals are as much about who you are with as they are about what you are. But love for what you're doing, and for the ingredients you're doing it with, will more than suffice. I suggested once to a maniacal barbecue professional that cooking well was not a profession, it was a calling. He laughed and went further: "it's an illness." I knew just what he meant. You must like cooking for other people, even if you neither know nor like them. You must enjoy the fact that you are nourishing them, pleasing them, giving the best you've got.

i love tree news

[lesbeet]

wow i just got a work email that said there'd been an amazon web services outage earlier today and the two main systems we use apparently use aws so they were affected by the outage. all i could think about was that article where the woman tried abstaining from the big 5 web companies (amazon, google, facebook, microsoft, and apple) and there were some she genuinely could never escape even after disconnecting herself from her phone, her computer, and going as analog as possible. some things were work-related and she had no control over what software they used, etc. it's just scary idk

[lesbeet]

like we do all of our grade-entering, class content, parent communication, attendance, etc through these systems, and i know a lot of schools who also use them. amazon is literally running our schools and that's not an exaggeration. all logistics at my school are done through amazon, apparently (aside from email, which is google suite and isn't much better than amazon lol). it's fucking horrifying actually
