Three years ago today, my food aversion cookbook and guide COLOR TASTE TEXTURE was released! I couldn’t be more proud of my book. The people who have reached out to me to share how it’s improved their lives have left me humbled and I only wish more of the folks who need it find it. Thanks everyone!

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (5?) has just walked into an indie toy shop crammed to the rafters with toys. Lego! Slime! Puzzles! Board games! Breathing out with an awed expression he turns and says to Mum: "Can we stay here FOREVER?!" (1)
If the heat bothers you, plant a tree. If the rain bothers you, plant a tree. If you like fruit, plant a tree. If you like birds, plant a tree. And if you like life, plant a tree.
I aspire to this level of fluffy malevolence.😀 #cats #darkness
George Penney@georgepenney.bsky.social · 3w ago🧵Introducing Moopsy*, the little stray that I have mentioned quite a bit lately. We're bunkered down getting our next book to the printers today while sorting a writing festival, so I haven't left the house and am verging on turning into a giant swear beast, BUT we spotted something today...(1)

🧵Spotted in the Countryside in Aotearoa New Zealand: In a mountain valley: Twin new lambs are drinking their breakfast while Mum munches on some long green grass. Lamby tails wagging. Mum quietly baaing. Mist rising over a nearby riverbend. A pair of paradise ducks flying overhead. (1)
Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?
The day I’ve always dreaded has happened and I’m logged out of my account and can’t get back in. Please consider this a proof of life; an Ankh-Fourpork pizza I made tonight that hasn’t been posted anywhere. #kai #food 🍕🍽️🍜
Matthew Broberg-Moffitt (any/all)@mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 2mo agoI get why the process includes it, but needing to change your 2FA settings because you lost access to your email it was at up with requiring your email it was set up with is frustrating. 🙃
Spring has sprung in the Shire!💜Snow still tops the nearby mountains, but here the air is a little warmer, a kindness to the newborn lambs dotted about. #countrystyle #spring #hope #theisleofstorms #writerslifestyle
