I was fascinated by Usenet, having grown up so isolated, but I was too scared to post. I was at university, and I think my biggest fear was that fellow students there would see my posts and take them as an opportunity to bully me.

Been accumulating books from little free libraries but not started reading any. Brought my sourdough starter back to normal. Tried letting cinnamon rolls rise overnight. Looked into Mastodon but it doesn’t appeal to me at all.

I saw Night Flight in syndication, and I loved the weird cartoons and films and everything.

I’ve tried to remember why I never mentioned it to anyone at school, and I think I must have been afraid somehow.

Yes, that’s it.

I wasn’t thinking of higher gluten in the starter specifically, but rather whether a starter destroys gluten to the point where maybe I should be using the cheapest option in the starter and not waste the flour that I will use later in the process.

Not sure I’d want to moderate it, and I don’t think my instance allows random communities.

I’ve only recently even tried baking with rye, with rye flour being niche and relatively expensive in the US :(
