I'll take your word for it that it's good and order my own.
If you ever meet me in person and we hang out for drinks, please stop asking me to take a sip of your drinks. It feels really weird to have to say that post COVID to people. Even if we're friends, I don't like them so much I'm willing to pass around the latest cold to sip a margarita. 🥴
I'd fight your mom for some bake n shark, goat roti, cold sorrel, and a side of plantains right now 😭

I really need a review service on hotels and Airbnb's for people with OCD.
"The room even changes how your stuff smells. Don't book here."

Sewing journey self note. Do not stitch through patches. Organ needle gets glue like substance on it 🫠
My major and school doesn't even exist anymore. :(
The lay offs I assume? The outlook for so many good programs are so grim
I'm looking at LoRa pagers line I don't already have 3 damn meshtastic radios
