Another recent read I feel the need to recommend: https://www.robinsloan.com/moonbound/

I was introduced to Robin Sloan via multiple people recommending "Sourdough" to me (because the two things that everyone knows about me are that I code and I bake sourdough). I loved "Sourdough," and then I circled back to "Mr. Penumbra" and loved that too, but this latest one elevates to the realm of mild obsession. WTB a "friend of Clovis" t-shirt.

Last week I read @annaleen's fun book about robots making noodles, and they helpfully recommended Terra Cotta Warrior as a local place to get lamb cumin biang biang noodles like in the book, and I'm surprised I'm just now discovering these because they're pretty much everything I want in a noodle. 10/10, would biang again.

Salal Creek meeting the Pacific Ocean.

Just happened across this view while exploring one of Sea Ranch's many trails. I spend a lot of time walking around creeks and beaches and don't often get to see this striking of a contrast where the two meet.

Sometime over the past year the Ribes sanguineum in my backyard reached the perfect height for the top branches to be right at eye level when I’m sitting at my desk on the second floor. In the winter those branches are a glorious mass of pink blossoms, and over the last couple of weeks I’ve been enjoying all the hummingbirds bopping around in my peripheral vision as they enjoy the bounty of nectar. #nativeplants #hummingbirds
