The Loose Ends Project matches crafters with a project that is unfinished because of death or disability. They offer help with a spectrum of textile mediums in over 80 countries. One project I find particularly lovely: “My mom was making this octopus for me. She was 67 years old when she passed away from COPD. She was hospitalized for pulmonary rehab several times and would always take it to work on while she was there and loved to talk about it with people."

Warning to anyone using Linktree.

From the 5th July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI.

Did the scent of dessert catch your attention? I was just about to adorn this freshly baked cake with fruit and chocolate.

The art of pastry is far more exacting than it may appear. With chocolate ornamentation, the essentials are precise temperature control and a steady hand.

Would you care to try? Allow me to instruct you. Hold the piping bag like this, find the proper angle, and slowly drizzle the chocolate sauce along the edge of the cake.

Lohen takes every battle seriously and gives each one his all.

That might make him sound like a careful, responsible warrior with a solemn sense of duty.

But don't let his smile fool you.

It's the wikipedia image??? How big could it be

Trevor Noah has a great tip, that when he craves ice cream at night he breaks it down into parts: I want something cold, I want something sweet. He drinks a glass of cold water then waits to see if he still has the ice cream craving. Usually he doesn’t.

So listening to your body isn’t “follow every urge” but “decompose the urge to discover the underlying need.”

If you always feel like getting cozy in bed you may be: cold, dehydrated, and/or malnourished (maybe a need for high calories that are bioaccessible…not processed).

If you do not feel tired at bedtime you may: need to eat dinner earlier because your body is still digesting, need to exercise or go outside more during the day, get the fuck off your screen for an hour so your brain can enter sleep mode.

Hope this helps someone.
