This month is proving to be exhausting in a “giving it my all” kinda way. But then I have moments like this after a double family portrait session, and it’s so nice.

Here it is, my last piece for @eater.bsky.social: my treatise on the last 20 years of food culture, and how food turned into fandom. I really hope you read it. www.eater.com/food-culture...

Nobody Wants to Be a Foodie

How “foodie” went from badge of honor to cringey term to pejorative smear and all the way back again.

Celebration season continues. This go-round: @nosnafus.bsky.social’s birthday and the last few drops of summer ☀️ 🎂

Part of a birthday cake. The only text remaining is “happy”

AI is the logical evolution of a society that has decided not to value art and instead prioritize self-serving fantasies and immediate gratification. And its inability to imagine anything new, when paired with an imagination-starved society, creates nothing but addiction and compliance.

Ah, we’re in the part of NC false fall that requires an outfit change midday.

This morning: cardigan, tank, high waist corduroy flares.
This afternoon: bike shorts and a tank top.

Glorious weather also means cyclists are riding on roads that are not built for them. If you were commuting it would be one thing, but to ride 3 across and 4 rows deep on a road that is 45mph is nonsense. This doesn’t improve infrastructure, it just slows traffic.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the time my bestie and I won Pinhook trivia with a two person team because the theme of the bonus round was Saved by the Bell and I fucking crushed it.

We won a case of Blenheims in lieu of a bar tab because neither of us was drinking alcohol at the time.

I hope she takes my advice and sells to someone who will keep that magic going. Fortunately she didn’t want to sell to a developer.

Picked up some gardening tools off Facebook marketplace. Got into a long conversation with the woman selling them, turns out her partner was a teacher from my high school. Made her cry while talking about how much Durham has changed, and how some of the magic still remains.

Oops joined another committee, but my primary responsibility-as outlined in the official doc-is making snacks. Dream life.
