It's not perfect and I made a few mistakes following the recipe... But I did it! I made Japanese shokupan bread for the first time today! 🥰
A loaf of bread sits on a wire rack on a kitchen counter. The bread looks like it has a plush, soft texture. The top of the bread is shaped into three rounded arches. It's a little light-colored on the bottom and a little too dark brown on the top.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

To folks who think caving on things like “Lake America” doesn’t matter in the long run… It does. It invites more such ego-serving It suggests that there’s no push back. It teaches people to expect more of the same. It matters.

I’m getting pretty tired of jokes and baseless allegations about women sleeping with male authority figures to get ahead. Even when it’s aimed at conservative women. It reinforces the pervasive and harmful idea that women only obtain power by having sex with men.

There’s a reason why we treat threats of violence as antisocial behavior, even if they’re not carried out. If someone threatens to kill me, that can do harm even if they never pull a weapon. And the same goes for the man who threatened genocide this morning. Impeach and remove him now.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
