for some reason, writing in these li’l guys makes songwriting happen much faster. (@jessamyn sent a whole pack of ‘em to me a while ago, so thanks friend!)
been both deconstructing older songs and working on new songs lately; made some progress during an internet outage the other night.
this could be appended with a rant about how i’m so burnt out at work, burnt out with the algorithmic hellscape as a whole, and tired of everyone around me going whole-hog on LLM-injected everything, but i’ll save you the wrath for now

You and me both… but I’m glad you’ve got a creative outlet! That makes it all so much more bearable I think.
Heck yes. Your brain still functions, despite the horrors. Keep exercising it!

Red Emma’s sounds like a biker bookstore. Or for literate pirates.
Somebody worked carefully to paint all that brick and used a fucking keyboard tickmark instead of a proper apostrophe. I am livid.

square phone pic: closeup of a green coffee bag with the unfortunately-phrased stick-on label "women in coffee blend".
the bottom of the coffee label also reads "ground" | "medium roast" and "net wt. 9 oz (255g)"

a “did not buy” from my anxiety-overload saturday grocery run
this brand popped up at my local co-op’s coffee section, and while i get what they meant (coffee blend *from* women *producers* in the coffee industry), i still laugh every time i see the label

I like my women like I like my coffee, especially during a stroke.
Stock it next to the baby oil
reminds me of the "Lez Beans" coffee I got - Hawaiian kona hand picked by lesbians. I don't think they lasted very long as a coffee collective

Easiest ten I’ve spent in hours.
Used the US dollars I got in a class action suit from Zuckerberg for this. Seemed appropriate.
I think of what the guys who run CAH could have done instead of the card game they came up with, and the answer is probably they would have become executives at private equity firms. So while I have qualms about them I think things could have turned out much worse.
RIP 1976 Dates

A small, worn white plastic bag held closed with a rubber band sits on a retro orange countertop. The bag says 1/2kg, and “ein gedi dates,” as well as Hebrew lettering that says the same thing (תאריכי עין גדי).
My late father brought home this bag of dates from a trip to Israel in 1976. It has been in the fridge since then. My entire life they lived in my parents’ fridge. Dad’s been dead more than two years now, and still they stayed in the fridge.
But Mom’s selling the house and one of the last things in her final clean out & pack-up was to take this pic and throw ‘em away.
A great story, and a picture will work just as well as the actual bag to tell it.
L’chaim!

The solitary cabin of Elliðaey, Iceland
Saw this (and the others on other Li’l islands nearby) in person! Very neat. Was told by a local that they’re basically man caves and the folks who own them will leave the island with a pack of groceries and some beer and live it up in the summertime. Also very near the world’s largest puffin colony, as it happens!

“Previously, on Porch Tomatoes…”

Two small tomatoes sit in my hand with room to spare. Rather than looking like cherry tomatoes or similar varietals meant to be this small, they look like miniature versions of full-size heirloom tomatoes.
Y’all may recall that I opted to make a couple tomato plants essentially ornamental on our front stoop ( https://mltshp.com/p/1RRUJ ).
They were a variety of heirloom that - in our regular tomato bed - grew tall and strong and produced lots of big delicious fruit.
These li’l pots with less room and less rainwater and more “oops I forgot to water them,” etc., still produced fruit, but they were these adorable little miniatures of their full-sized brethren. Bonsai tomatoes, if you will.
We made them part of last night’s caprese, and, while not notable in their sweetness or acidity or depth of flavor, were still a-ok. Fun little not-meant-to-be-mini tomatoes.

Just a little salt and yum!
@m3moellering ❤️ Or a little salt, a little basil, a little mozzarella, a little balsamic glaze… 🤤

STILL BAKING. Interested to try this, we delayed our trip to the UP to visit friends by one day so I gave this bad boy a super long fridge ferment. Will it taste different? Better? Is it overproofed? WHO KNOWS!
Yaaay! I bet it’s tastier.
Where in the UP? My family owned a little cottage in way up in Copper Harbor for years and years, so I’ve spent a lot of time up there.

@wombatman70 40 miles west of the bridge : Naubinway. Our friends have a beautiful little modern summer house right at the northernmost point of Lake Michigan
I'm headed to MI tomorrow for family vacation after not having been there for a few years. Super excited!!! Not getting up to the Yoop, but I'm going to be quite happy with time spent next to Sleeping Bear.
I have been feeding my sourdough starter every week or two for quite a long time as I've been too busy and it's been way too hot to bake. Looking forward to getting some loaves going in the Fall again.
