Bet you can't guess what's in the pie I made this evening...

Enough chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies to drop off to the VA clinic, give a few to friends and a couple of dozen for the grandkids.
This box will be on the way to the VA momentarily.
Just waiting for the last dozen to pop out of the oven.
My husband did the requisite taste testing. Summer doesn't get to try them because of the real chocolate chips.
I haven't baked so many cookies in one batch in recent memory.
I hope everyone who is on the receiving end of a fresh cookie today knows they are appreciated.

#introduction I'm new to the #fediverse brought here from the hard fork podcast. Only been here a day and I'm loving it. I'm a #professor of #geography my research interests include #climate and #weather. My passion is teaching students and advising graduate student theses. If you need any help or advice writing or publishing your thesis reach out. My biggest hobby is adventure #motorcycling but more recently I've had my hands full with our two kids so I do a lot of #diy and #baking

The most annoying thing about corporate surveillance to me is the arrogance of the prediction mechanisms.

These algorithms build a model of me based on my clicks from three years ago and then try to trap me in that loop forever. They show me music they think I'll like, and news they think I'll engage with, and videos they think will enrage me enough to keep me hooked to their platforms. They are actively trying to flatten my personality into something easy to monetize.

As most people I've seen say out loud, "Privacy as a concept is way beyond hiding secrets. A part of it also means preserving your capacity to change. To be surprised. To be inconsistent."

If I could tell every human one thing, it would be to actively refuse to be a predictable data point. Mess up their metrics. In whatever way you are capable of.

We are a gluten free, dairy free, peanut free household. For those who are looking for free from baking recipes, I could not recommend Katarina Cermelj's 'The Elements of Baking' more. We've made around ten things from this book and every one turns out perfectly with not too much faff.

Including these gluten free, vegan cinammon rolls that I made today with my daughter.

A winter solstice log stump cake for my son’s Naming Day. Mascarpone cream, vanilla sponge and dark chocolate ganache. It tasted as good as it looks 💅🏾
