How did I do?

A photoshoot for my grape Powerade bread experiment

#yall look it’s so beautiful #I wish my students would do this but they want to make “authentic breads #yall this is it this is the authentic this is how humans do it

Hey if you're still in your food crimes era id like to suggest something I want to try, but alas my college dorm is not equipped with an oven.

Gatorade bread.

Or really any beverage since bread is essentially just flour yeast and liquid. I'd be interested to see what you can come up with considering the various horrific alcohols and the way you predicted Stardew 1.6 in the worst way possible

Woke up, opened my phone, and saw this after a horrible nights sleep… ya know I think the day is gonna be a good one.

My personal favorite bread recipe to use is the No Knead Bread by The NY Times. It takes a day or so but the bread it makes is basically pseudo sourdough. It’s delicious and I’ve made countless bread bowls from it.

You know what? Fuck it. The time is worth it.

The real question is what type of Gatorade do I use?

#you know grappa sourdough is an age old tradition #so I kind of wonder if it’s fragrance isn’t too far off of that #artificial grape odor aside #but also your sourdough is very pretty #I would totes eat your breadxperiment

This Chemical really doesn't want to exist and will look for any reason at all to decompose.

For the first experiment, I will add this cotton ball.

Warp or weft? [Be as practical or as NightVale about it as you want]

AMAZING QUESTION

And it is absolutely WARP. I stand hidden and strong to give you structure and security so you may display your fancy colors and give meaning to the pattern drifting in space that we make!

Of course we are all really a mixture of warp and weft but if forced through a spindle, forced through a carding and cleaning and dying and twisted and respun and massaged and balled and used so we could only be one(1) and only one(1) thing then I would choose warp so that those I love could express themselves fully and without worry!

But how lucky are we that we aren’t forced to choose. That we may strengthen others to express their art while we accept and welcome the strength of others to express ourselves.

We are a pattern drifting through space and we matter as much as a song slams a memory into your mind and reminds you of who you once were and what potential you still have.

Dear parents

Pretending that your kid isn't disabled and getting mad at them for needing more help and support than your other kids and wanting them to "try harder" and also pretend that THEY aren't disabled by ignoring their OWN needs as well doesn't make them less disabled by the way

Years and years ago, I read a book on cryptography that I picked up because it looked interesting--and it was!

But there was a side anecdote in there that stayed with me for more general purposes.

The author was describing a cryptography class that they had taken back in college where the professor was demonstrating the process of "reversibility", which is a principle that most codes depend on. Specifically, it should be easy to encode, and very hard to decode without the key--it is hard to reverse the process.

So he had an example code that he used for his class to demonstrate this, a variation on the Book Code, where the encoded text would be a series of phone numbers.

The key to the code was that phone books are sorted alphabetically, so you could encode the text easily--picking phone numbers from the appropriate alphabetical sections to use ahead of time would be easy. But since phone books were sorted alphabetically, not numerically, it would be nearly impossible to reverse the code without exhaustively searching the phone book for each string of numbers and seeing what name it was tied to.

Nowadays, defeating this would be child's play, given computerized databases, but back in the 80s and 90s, this would have been a good code... at least, until one of the students raised their hand and asked, "Why not just call the phone numbers and ask who lives there?"

The professor apparently was dumbfounded.

He had never considered that question. As a result, his cipher, which seemed to be nearly unbreakable to him, had such an obvious flaw, because he was the sort of person who could never coldcall someone to ask that sort of thing!

In the crypto book, the author went on to use this story as an example of why security systems should not be tested by the designer (because of course the security system is ready for everything they thought of, by definition), but for me, as a writer, it stuck with me for a different reason.

It's worth talking out your story plot with other people just to see if there's a "Why not just call the phone numbers?" obvious plot hole that you've missed, because of your singular perspective as a person. Especially if you're writing the sort of plot where you have people trying to outsmart each other.

woke up this morning, rolled over, and very confidently tried to blow out my alarm clock like a candle. absolutely no precedent for that.
