I think I need to read some of this person's stuff. She apparently recreated Around the World in Eighty Days with 8 days to spare.

Jan 15, 2023, 9:09 PM -05:00 I got a "book nook" for Christmas - kind of like a book end, but more elaborate. Super fun, I want them all.

I'm a big fan of Cincinnati chili, so cinnamon in meat dishes isn't so strange to me. Cinnamon and nutmeg are also essential components of French Canadian tourtiere.

Two things are true: Republicans are absolutely massive hypocrites on the "leave kids of politicians alone" thing, and also, we should leave the kids of politicians alone. (Assuming, of course, that those kids aren't also adults working in politics). -

Libertarians love me for some reason, why have none of them offered me $80k to be a bitch for a weekend -

Nov 24, 2022, 7:46 AM -05:00 I remember reading somewhere that kosher/halal laws are much less about the laws themselves and much more about the group identity they foster. I imagine the obscurity of Catholic mass fulfills roughly the same function.
What you're saying makes a lot of sense to me.

I think fundamentally there is an us v them mentality built into Judaism that exists independently of antisemitism. A lot of traditional Jewish practice — especially keeping kosher — is about a forced insularity that separates Jews from non-Jews. -
Nov 23, 2022, 1:20 PM -05:00 I just read a quote that said that the brain is "a machine for jumping to conclusions" and I don't know why but this feels so true.

Nov 16, 2022, 8:45 PM -05:00 I know, right? I wouldn't have thought that a show about the "bureaucracy of evil" could be so compelling and yet here we are.

I’m finally watching Andor again after a three week break (my viewing companions had COVID) and my god it’s so good, it’s seriously way too good to be a Star Wars (sorry but it’s true) -

Nov 15, 2022, 9:11 PM -05:00 I did a zoom presentation today and one of the audience took a screenshot of me talking. I looked pretty crazed. I'd be fucking terrified of me.

Nov 8, 2022, 10:57 AM -05:00 I'm not sure what it is about this that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the condescension or the "learning is beneath me" vibe I get.

Absolutely no billionaire can do anything to get me to download “Mastodon” and join a “server” whatever in God’s fuck that is. -

One of the funny things about Mastodon being “too hard” is that it reminds me that all of the internet used to be hard -

Sep 30, 2022, 9:50 AM -04:00 Ah, fair enough. It's definitely harder to construct a coherent thread of conversation with webmentions

@desmondrivet @azzamsyawqi @eleven_ty It's just not the same as conversations happening in comments under the post. And I don't want the conversation to happen via Twitter. -
Sep 30, 2022, 9:35 AM -04:00 I'm confused by the webmention part of this statement. Do you not have control over how webmentions are displayed under your blog posts?

Sara Soueidan (@SaraSoueidan) on X
@azzamsyawqi @eleven_ty But I don't want to use Twitter for the interactions. The point of adding comments is to move the conversation from Twitter to the site. And tbh I'm not a fan of how webmentions are listed under blog posts.
