liliana 🎃🙀 @liliana@sunbeam.city

Hello! I am a researcher specialising in human-computer interaction & user experience. I <3 books, and I also write. I was once a musician, and once a computer science grad. I love #food: from growing, to cooking to eating. Also a #maker, including #knitting. Nice to meet you! #introductions

I'm moving my main account to @liliana@weirder.earth, and likely fading away from sunbeam city. Hope we can keep chatting, folks. 🌻

One nice thing about #knitting a scarf this time of year is that it can keep you warm while you are still knitting it.

Suddenly have the urge to blend a perfume. What would a #solarpunk perfume smell like? 🤔

There, slightly spookier.

So my attempt to eat everything that needed eating before the next farmer's veg box shows up left me with: one purple carrot, a few sticks of celery, some mushrooms, and a large bunch of parsley 🤔

This might take some creativity.

No batch cooking this weekend (freezer is still full, and so is the fridge!) but I made a litre's worth of tumeric shots this evening. Yes, the effects have only been proven in lab mice and not humans but I love the taste.

Tomorrow: blending some chocolate.

Hey sunbeam.city, a few of us in the co-op have been discussing whether it'd be useful to have a place for skills exchange, like a skills swap board where you can post your needs and contact info. Is this something you would like to have?

There needs to be a #knitting hashtag that is #WeavingInEndsWoes which doesn't require any additional explanation — when invoked, garners sympathy from knitters everywhere.

I'm a 3rd culture kid, a child of former colonies, our land was exploited by white foreigners, over & over. People were disappeared if they challenged the authorities. Now my homeland is ravaged by capitalism & will be underwater in the coming decades. But still, the world is not black and white for me.

I hope we can remain kind to one another and listen without judgement. Hate only begets more hate. We need to embrace our biases & not forget how to love.

Our little town meeting last night might lead to more activism around dealing with food sustainability locally, more opportunities for people to grow food, among other things. Really excited about that!

Making up a slightly unusual bouquet garni, with the inclusion alehoof.

Yesterday's batch cooking yielded eight servings of veggie soup, today I am going to make a big pot of boeuf bourguignon. The freezer will be full by the end of the weekend 🍲

I am going to be teaching a bunch of professional s for a whole day on Halloween. Wonder if I should do it in costume? 👻🎃

Oh hello little green friends.
