JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 20/09/2026after today's ride, I'm pretty sure the bike I've ridden for the last ten years was too big for me. if you ride bikes and you're feeling like your ride is slow or less fun, it's worth it to look around and try some different ones. fb marketplace might work as well as your local bike shop. 112
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 17/09/2026sat on Costco's column stoops tonight and took in the cleanest moment of my day, a simple sky in sun set, thinking of Annie Dillard's words. Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek is excellent, a deep bench of timeless observations of nature. Holy the Firm is short, brutal, and incandescent in its peering. r.i.p 000
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only. (Michael K. would have made a great Khan OR Kirk in a reboot.) 000

JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 19/05/2026This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone. 120
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Hm...is it native? I had no idea. I remembered a recipe book (Diana Morgan) on various roots mentioning salsify. Attaching some clippings. 110
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 02/03/2026My wife and I decided that many places are judged on their summers, but North Carolina is best in early spring. Probably a statement on our preferred temperature - today was perfect. 030
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 15/01/2026When you have a federal administration behaving this way towards its citizens, I definitely think Flock cameras are a bad idea. deflock.me 000
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 20/12/2025This week was my first time, after watching Sohla and Ham's video. They're not my favorite "cookie" to make (yet), but so easy and forgiving! 110
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Claire Saffitz's Creme Caramel. Surprisingly easy, and simple enough to justify using the whole vanilla bean in the pantry. 000
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 23/11/2025Devastation my door was left open wide You brought me into your heart, then you swallowed my pride. I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts I made a note to myself, i nearly forgot. 000
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 16/09/2025I always felt Redford could play gravitas with his eyes closed. Condor or Brubaker for that. I wish he could have played his comic roles more against type like Bruce Willis, goofy and cringe. For that reason, A Walk in the Woods is underrated. Choose Sneakers if you want a more ensemble cast. 120
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 12/08/2025Challenge, post your last photo of DC to show what a hellhole it is. This Monstera burrito was amazing and halal, the espresso from there was also top notch. The only thing I was afraid of was running out of water on the C&O trail. Seriously, get those pumps certified for drinking. 031
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Not exactly what u asked for, but it did feel poetically adjacent. 020
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 03/04/2025HankG just did a bit on skeptical hedonism ostensibly about seatbelts, but the current administration elected by our country has this idea as its defining mission. Seatbelt skepticism also explains the decadence of tariffs. youtu.be/FRjGhCQi4U8?... 010
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 04/03/2025I was a big fan of the Pacific Coast irises when I lived in Seattle. Not sure they'd do very well here in NC. www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/inde... 010

JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 24/01/2025I love sunsets. Tonight was deep and punch drunk with color. I really like how they're emergent. After watching the fading light for a half hour, my wife bounded into the kitchen exclaiming its virtues. I looked again, stunned at how the deep wine colors popped. Five minutes later, it was gone. 020

JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 04/12/2024the warning label should be outlined prominently in red, particularly Gemini - which hides the AI disclaimer under a "show more" button - labeling it as as "experimental" in a much smaller light-colored font. 010
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 16/11/2024My current favorite time of year in Durham. The underbrush clears out, the humidity drops, the sun migrates south but sticks around. Happy Saturday y'all. 010
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 06/11/2024Dunno what to say about the rest of this state, but Durham did their homework. the bike/sidewalk and parks bonds passed! thanks to everyone who put in so many more hours than I could squeeze in last month to get the word out. and to Bike Durham for helping advocate for better transportation policy. 010
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 03/11/2024I probably posted this on here already, but the photo tickles me, and the kraft paper is on brand. He also likes cardboard and sisal rope. 051

JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 18/10/2024You're a little far away for cycling mycology parties, but I did enjoy a recent train/bike trip to torrential Hartford. The mushrooms in N.Carolina are quite nice too if u ever stop by. 120
JFB @jasonfbennett.bsky.social · 11/10/2024Not much, only through the camera, but I'm shocked it's showing up at all. 030
