@skinnylatte Yup. The coffee shop on Twin Lakes State Beach at the Santa Cruz Harbor was a standard remote-work spot for me (honestly, the coffee wasn't that great but you can't beat the location)

@skinnylatte Thank you for posting. I know exactly what that morning fog on Monterey Bay feels+smells like and this photo takes me back. It was wonderful. 💙 (I was on the other side of the bay of course)

@skinnylatte Agree! And I wouldn't be surprised if I'm down in Monterey before long, once I move back (I have lots of friends in Santa Cruz) so maybe outdoor coffee down there if that happens first

@skinnylatte I'm hoping to make good use of the SMART train once I move to Petaluma, but I expect I'll be on the 101 bus as well 🚈

@inthehands this showed up in the Guardian today. So perhaps this particular Republican con game is losing it's legs (after decades of damage)

@skinnylatte Sort of a tangent but that's why I love I still have some Bahasa Indonesia rattling around in my brain.

panas vs. pedes ftw!

(I imagine BI might have more terms for nuances of pedes? But I was a kid when I lived there so I don't remember)

@skinnylatte this is a lovely and beautiful thread. It's so generous of you to share your life with us like this. Our own lives are made richer. Thank you for writing it.

@skinnylatte Yeah, the lack of good rail infrastructure in the US is so depressing. Even here in the Northeast, the "high speed" Acela... usually isn't. -sigh-

@skinnylatte I'm jealous. I have just one name, often mis-spelled and less occasionally mis-pronounced.

I mean, I like my name, but English is sometimes just so... boring...

@skinnylatte And Santa Cruz County across the bay! ❤️

@skinnylatte awww. I love happy endings. 💞

@skinnylatte Sorry that's not possible. 😂

@skinnylatte "stupid lucky" is exactly the way I felt when I got to live in Santa Cruz for five years

@skinnylatte noted, ty!

@skinnylatte Since we all have ramen on the brain now... 😅

I've noted down your other best-instant-ramen recommendations (and am going to order some) but... as someone else mentioned, this particular one is REALLY high salt. I'm not on any special diet but when I eat really-high-salt items I'm thirsty for a day and it's just really unpleasant. Do you use the whole packet?

@skinnylatte yeah... Monterey-adjacent: I have a lot of issues with Carmel-by-the-sea but it is a fun (💰) place to visit with dogs (we had 2).

Especially staying in the Cypress Inn (Doris Day's hotel). Sooooo dog friendly.

That was a former life, now, but it was fun to live like a rich(er) person for a while.

@skinnylatte yay! Putting that on my list. Since I expect by next summer I will be back in CA (in Petaluma is the plan).

(of course, eating Indonesian food is a little more challenging now that I'm vegetarian...)

@skinnylatte yeah, I sort of miss IG and I have friends back in Santa Cruz who keep asking me "why don't you post to Instagram any more? We loved your photos!" but honestly every time I dip my toe back into IG I just can't... there's just too much dreck they're forcing at me.

(of course, it may be that because I don't go there much anymore their algorithm doesn't know what to do with me anymore, but... it's a hurdle I just can't get over. I try.)

@skinnylatte Thank you @rednikki !

And it's a quick read too.

okay moderators have to step up their game. they’re letting him get away with going way over time. they were doing better earlier
