the pasture: my home network
2025-05-16i fell in love with running my own network services after becoming familiar with linux while i was in high school and discovering the selfhosted and homelab subreddits in college. at the beginning of 2020 i moved back in with my parents due to the trifecta of losing my hearing, dropping out, and the US' inadequate response to the COVID-19 pandemic fucking everything up, so i had lots of time and the privilege to hide in my room and play around with computers.

music retrospective
2024-10-19i used to do that thing where i would listen to the same 20-or-so songs on shuffle (rotating them in and out over time of course), all day every day, from as early as i can remember to twenty-two years old when my hearing was taken from me. i've become really attached to the memory of music since then, so in this post i will take a brief look back at some of the songs i used to listen to, broken down by era or influence as best as i can, in order to share some nostalgia with you!

slime text

dairy-free banana bread
2023-06-06i grew up on my mom's banana bread. it's a great way to use overripe bananas. this recipe was developed from a generic nut bread recipe from her old betty crocker cookbook by both of us making changes along the way.
three bean chili
2023-05-25a delicious and hearty chili that's hard to do wrong. this recipe is merely a jumping-off point in creating your own.
