it does look a bit wet but after sitting for a while that could change

Oh that’s definitely true. But if that’s a concern I would say freeze what you’re not going to use in enough time to avoid the mold. Take it out a day ahead of time and it’ll thaw nicely and be ready to eat

Refrigeration dries out bread and makes it stale faster.

Breadboxes are a thing, but they’re not really essential. It’s just a place to put your bread if you don’t have a cabinet or whatever that works for you.

Bowl.

Breadbox and freezer. Don't put bread in the fridge!

Does spaghetti belong in a bowl or on a plate?

Does soup go in the same size bowl as cereal?

Do yall put your bread on the counter, over the fridge, or IN the fridge??

I would love to have a fretless sometime. Have fun!

Haha that might be why the bridge seems high to you. A fretless was probably intended to be played clawhammer style, and clawhammer players usually use higer bridges. If you're going to fingerpick you might want to swap it out with a lower bridge.

yeah I wouldn't have started caring about alt text if it weren't for Link. I also would have not started fearing seeing impacted toenail videos on my feed

Link & I were mutuals. While he’s gone, I encourage you to support some of his causes:

1) Use alt text on all images to support disability justice. Adjust your bsky settings: settings > accessibility > require alt text.

2) Reply here with mutual aid requests. Donate if you can, boost if you can’t.

Writing Alt Text: identify who, expression, description, color, and interesting features.

The completed example reads, “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Hmm. Well my go-to novel rec is Roberto Bolaño's "The Savage Detectives." Fall vibes, maybe Marilynne Robinsons' "Gilead" or W.G. Sebald's "Rings of Saturn"?
