My wife and I made some homemade gourmet ramen. The broth is veggie-based with coconut cream.
It was so delicious it hurt. I overate and am eagerly awaiting breakfast time so I can have more. 😂
We learned how to make it from Yeung Man Cooking:

@npub1ys7…cs6j @npub1r3p…dz2z they actually wanted to put the shoes in a museum, but someone destroyed them. Can you even imagine the order given by some official to destroy a pair of shoes because they were used as projectiles? 😂

@npub1ys7…cs6j the most important milkshake attack of all time was on Andy Ngo.

@npub1grx…uxfe @npub1wmy…93xs so many people oppose fediverse-wide search. I totally support it. I’d love to see search function the way it does everywhere else.
However, I do support the option for folks to opt-out. I think it’s really important to respect the integrity of the culture that’s been established here where people like to remain off the radar.
But for everyone who wants in, what a gift it would be.

I’m really loving Mychal’s stories. He’s a librarian working at the Solano County library in Dixon, CA. His stories tell tales of kindness, curiosity, and delight. With all the madness around us, this is a breath of fresh air.
More of his stories:

(I made up the hashtag “libraridon,” which I believe is needed. Please join me in using this liberally.)

This is Vietnamese laser programmer and performance artist Lại Trần Ninh Kiềm. He is doing some mind-blowing things with his art form.
The transition between environmental and manual control of the lasers is wild. And he has meticulous, granular-level control over the illusion. It’s quite remarkable.

Every morning I announce to my family that I’m going jogging, but then I don’t go.
It’s a running joke.

This had me literally laughing out loud. And when I say “literally” I mean “literally.”
(I don’t know who made this so I can’t offer a credit because there are too many versions and I don’t know which is the original. Sorry.)

@npub1v2s…mqq5 in your opinion, what is the likelihood that all of these charges and cases will result in convictions and jail time? I’m asking genuinely, not cynically. I’m really curious because fascists seem to get away with everything.

@npub1yk6…4zz4 I’ve never been paid for one. My flights, hotel, and food are usually covered. Basically I don’t have to pay to give a talk.

One of my favorite Instagram accounts is that of Japanese artist Shinrashinge. (I really wish he was here, but alas, no.)
He makes the most fascinating paper-based anime creations. Mediums include frames, cups, plates, and more. They’re so delightful.

Dear, Mastodon. Thank you.
Back in June I asked y’all to help me find work. And you did. Your likes and boosts helped me secure a new position that I started today.
As the Lead Product Designer for BookNook, I’ll be helping to bring equitable access to learning. That will bring me joy.
Y’all are badass and I bow to you.
