The Value of Solitude - My only issue with such articles as this, is that they often over-simplify introversion and extroversion. Extroverts gain energy and feel better mentally when they're interacting with other people. Introverts require alone time for the same thing. It isn't simply a matter of "liking people," but more where your personal energy comes from and what restores you when you feel down.
10 Best Black Food Bloggers to Follow - As Food52 says, this is not an exhaustive list but a pretty good starting point. As it is there's a lot of good stuff linked to, including sweet potato goodies and a recipe for black pepper and cultured butter biscuits that sound amazing. If you're anything like me you've had to purge a lot of nitwits from your social media lately, so why not add some quality accounts?
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Pasta - I love Brussels sprouts. I also love pasta and was looking for some interesting new ways to prepare my sprouts. This Italian-inspired dish also gives me an excuse to use some of the Meyer lemon juice and zest I put away late last year. I may cut down on the amount of noodles called for here and add some toasted sourdough, which will be welcome for mopping up extra sauce.
I slept decently last night, cramping kept me up for a while but naproxen eventually took care of that. There was also some weird noise around 1:30 that woke me out of a deep sleep. I assume it was a bear, but I didn't get up to look. I didn't see anything amiss this morning, so I honestly don't know what it was. I'm draggy this afternoon but I managed to get some art done, and I may perk up after dinner.
Speaking of which since all I seem to be able to think of is food right now, I might as well start prepping.

On the other hand
The current cultural emphasis on the concept of finding the ideal romantic partner has only helped to cause misery
This is absolutely true. Soulmates aren't born, they're made.
