Twitter is now X and I have a green checkmark next to my name and don't know why. I've tried Google and help articles on Twitter but then realized I was falling for what Musk was trying to do, so screw it.

The basil has gotten quite large, so I made some pesto to freeze last night. I also have to come up with something creative for beet greens. I've fermented some this year. Last year I made pesto with some and will do that again. I'll eat some fresh and/or fried with eggs, but will blanche and freeze some as well.

I've been working on my version of the Sherlock Holmes "ugly blanket" inspired by the Granada TV series starring Jeremy Brett in the '80s and '90s. Below is a pic of the early stage it's in. It's basically one big granny square. This is for my husband to wrap himself in like Brett does when he's in a mood.

Elon Musk finalized the deal with Twitter. I'm not leaving the platform yet. I don't see why that space should be ceded to his supporters. But if he does something like charge for it or remove the block button, I'm out. I think he thrives on the ire he receives and don't want to expend emotion on him. What are the cool kids saying nowadays? Something, something touch grass. I'm a typically cynical GenXer with a love/hate relationship with technology. The internet has been marvelous for me to work from home and I embrace it.  But my '70s-'80s kid self always has that nagging feeling that I need to get outside more and build a fort or dig in the dirt.
