This is such a good peach season, too, at least up here in MA. Every week I've gotten peaches from the farmers' market and every week they're better than the last. This week's are ambrosial.

White peaches are my new favorite food

Fediverse, help me decide what to make for meals for the next few days with my zucchini and summer squash:

Could not resist buying this absolute unit of a tomato at the farmers’ market this morning

It's probably weird how excited I am about this email, right?

What smart bulbs should I get? Seems like there’s some ecosystem lock in here, so I’d like to test different options, but ideally get it right in the first try.

I am also deep in Apple’s ecosystem, compat-wise. Not being able to use my HomePod with bulbs would be a dealbreaker.

Today is a special day

Been working on clear ice cubes and I’m pretty pleased with the results I’m getting.

Doctor Who rewatch: I'm realizing this show is just one trolley problem after another—generally resolved with either a deus ex machina, or the person on the tracks *asking* to be run over.

I deliberately made myself a healthy food that I can eat all week and all I’m craving is delivery junk food. Who made this stupid body with its stupid desires?

Love to be at the stage in life where I get this message from a friend
