do a big project
Do a big, time absorbing project instead of doomscrolling. The time will pass anyway, might as well have something to show for it. This is my current art project, which I’ve just been calling “big art.” It’s about 8 feet long, and even though it’s taking foreverrrr, it’s satisfying to see progressively more of it fill in ☺️

Gastropod
A podcast about food through the lens of science and history. I learn something fascinating every episode! My favorite episode is V is for Vitamin, which covers how vitamins were discovered and how that changed the way we think about eating.
