it is literally the perfect dessert. extremely customisable to your preferences. there are no rules with the toppings. perfect for any season. also even if it cracks or looks ugly, you can just cut it up into little pieces and turn it into an eton mess — another extremely underrated dessert.

With a dusting of cinnamon on top. I think it’s really underrated. It honestly transcends preconceived meal constructs because it’s like rice and porridge and dessert all at once, so you can eat it anytime! Eat it for breakfast, eat it for dinner, eat it for dessert, eat it for a snack. No raisins though!!

I like to have an evening dessert; sometimes I also make a daytime cake, and the best, most decadent thing I do is make it ahead— if I poach a pear, I’ll poach five and leave the extras in their syrup to eat over yoghurt or cream later in the week. Lately I’ve been making chocolate soufflés— I make five small soufflés in miniature ramekins, and pop one in the oven while I’m eating dinner so I have it fresh and risen for dessert.

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
