Why @Read.Cash ?​ Because we need less toxic social media, without haters or hate speech. All of that slowly contaminates us, almost without us noticing. Because we deserve social media platforms where a company or monopoly doesn't dictate what we see, when we see it, and how we see it through inaccessible algorithms. Instead, we deserve to be the ones in control of the content we read and watch. Our choices should be genuine, not imposed Because it is a social network where…

I suddenly felt like having pasta, so I made Neapolitan spaghetti. With eggplant and spicy chorizo. There wasn't quite enough ketchup, so the pasta was a bit dry and hard to swallow, but I was satisfied because I was able to eat my fill of sweet Neapolitan spaghetti

Holiday tickets are hard to buy, so with the mindset of taking whatever is available, I bought a ticket for a station in the suburbs. When I arrived, the sky was overcast, with cumulonimbus clouds blocking out the light. The overpass was gray and old, covered in dirt and dust. Only the green belt was colorful, a large expanse of withered yellow, obscuring most of the entrance to the internal parking lot. This city is backed by a first tier city, and too many people leave…

If you also have pets at home, you know very well how regular furniture gets ruined despite all their sweet antics and cuteness. I was dealing with the exact same struggle for a long time because my pets had scratched up and messed pretty much all my previous furniture. But this time, I decided to find a solid solution and bought a brand new sofa specifically for my pets, and honestly, it has proven to be a total game changer for me. The new sofa I bought isn't upholstered…

@Britney_laurels We have a sofa in our pets room. It's a expensive one, but the seat cushion got worn out pretty quickly, and we've been using cushions, pillows, and stuffed things to make it more comfortable for cats When my older cat specially bella or pets uses the sofa to play and cuddles, they mess up the cushions and pillows and leave them as they are... So I guess it can't be helped... Every morning, I'm…

I think modern houses are actually quite nice, especially the design where all the main rooms are on the ground floor, which is very convenient for the elderly and children. In my house, the second floor only has a storage room and a study. The stairs have doors, so neither the cat nor the baby can go upstairs, and my parents don't have to climb the stairs. Also, because all the bedrooms are on the ground floor, the windows can be opened very wide, making it very bright and…

@Britney_laurels What I cooked

Dinner: Fish pieces braised in balsamic vinegar I've already devoured half my meal by the time I posted this, and this time the ingredients are surprisingly simple: Balsamic vinegar with rosemary and bay leaves, caramelized onions as a base, and fruit vinegar to tenderize the meat. The stew has a predominantly sour and savory flavor with a hint of sweetness, but it's lighter than sweet and sour. If the steak is of good quality, this method also enhances its aroma. I used a…

Back in 2024, I had to collect a payment for furniture decor from a friend. She suggested paying me in Ethereum instead of fiat, claiming it was instant and hassle free. She guided me through setting up a crypto wallet and sent the funds over. At first, I was thrilled the transfer was super fast, and I thought, Wow, this is the future of international payments but my excitement vanished when I tried converting it into my local bank account between the network network gas…

Yay, let's drink! Today is my husband Andrew's birthday, and I gifted him the world's most expensive wine, Leroy Musigny Grand Cru. It costs me $49K after bargaining 😅 Some moments just stay with you. A while back, Andrew and I were sitting together, chatting over a glass of wine, and he happened to mention this specific bottle talking about how exquisite and high end it was, almost like a distant dream to have on a regular day. He probably forgot all about that…

@Britney_laurels

People can suddenly crave foods they previously disliked and binge eat them in a short period. It's as if the body has reached a critical point of nutrient deficiency, and the brain, receiving an alarm, frantically replenishes it. For example, I suddenly embraced cilantro and pineapple during my university years, while seaweed, eggplant, and liver became cravings after moving to the practical life. For a long time, I didn't like chocolate. I wouldn't touch it unless I was…

I watched an educational video that said when the victim is a child, parents will inevitably ask the child for details first. The child, however, assumes the adults already know the answers and are testing them, so they won't question the questions. For example, if they weren't hit, but their parents ask when they were, the child might fabricate a time and use that fabricated answer for future questions. Therefore, some countries advise parents not to probe too deeply and to…

Yesterday, when I checked my profile, 20 people had rated me means showed trust in my profile and I'm grateful to all of the from the core of my heart. Today, when I checked my profile, 2 more people showed trust in my profile, so the total should have been 22, but it is showing 20, and 2 people from the bottom have been removed. Why did this happen? Is the total limit 20? If anyone knows about this, please guide me. Thank you.

Watching TV with my cat, I realized he's quite clever. I told him not to sit so close to the TV or he'd get nearsighted, and to come sit on the coffee table instead. He did. Then I noticed he's too fat; he was blocking my view, so I told him to sit down, and he did

@Britney_laurels What I cooked

I bought fish from a street vendor, and just as he was about to slice it into pieces, I stopped him. I told him I was going to cook it whole today. I oven baked it without using any extra oil completely oven baked. I just brushed a light layer of olive oil over the fish and placed it in the oven. Once it turned golden brown after 15 minutes, I took it out. After that, I prepared BBQ salts and BBQ masala. After preparing the BBQ masala, I filled it inside the cuts I had made…

Four stray cats took turns being petted by me and climbing trees to play with birds. After one came down from the tree, the one I petted immediately scrambled up, and then another one came over to be petted I'll keep worrying that the cats might play with the birds and end up eating them. If I chased the birds away, the cats would get upset with me, but if I didn't, the cats would eat them. Caught in these thoughts, I didn't do anything and just walked back home. A few weeks…

From today, I have started giving this food to these cute kittens. This is Royal Canin all nutrition cat food. Do you have any idea if this food is good, or should I give these kittens home cooked food? My cat Bella eats home cooked food very eagerly, like salmon and tuna, but I am giving this food to these cute kittens so that their growth is proper and healthy

@Britney_laurels Meet my new fluffy gang ! yes, all four of them! This wasn't exactly my plan, but fate and a desperate friend had other ideas. My bestie Lina, came over crying about these meowing maestros. Apparently, their musical talents were not appreciated by her mama, who isn't exactly a pet fan. She literally said, "They meow all night and Mama wants them gone! You have to take them!" How could I possibl…

My new Car is a Skoda Elroq. It's been raining a lot, so I haven't been able to go very far, but I've been riding it to the local shops when the weather's clear. The acceleration is smooth. Or rather, perhaps because the engine has so much power, you're going fast before you even realize it. I think the reason you don't feel like you're going fast is also because the engine is quiet. It's very stable. I was worried about the size, but it fits more compactly than I expected…

A friend of mine is not feeling well, and we were planning to go visit her and check on her health today. However, it was pouring rain outside! The weather was so heavy that stopping anywhere along the way felt risky, and we were pretty sure no flower shops would even be open in this downpour. So, I decided to step out onto my terrace garden and pick fresh Osmanthus flowers to arrange this handcrafted bouquet myself. There is something so special and heartwarming about a…

I was watching a movie where a couple was eating Chicken Manchurian, and suddenly I was like okay, I need to try this too. So I made Chicken Manchurian, then decided to make some hot dogs too because why not? Had to make the whole experience 100x better And of course, I had to bring out different sauces because one sauce is never enough! Basically, I watched a movie and ended up making myself a whole feast. 😂

@Britney_laurels

I probably have misophonia and misokinesia, and I particularly dislike the sight and sound of chewing, as well as the sound of heels walking. With chewing, both trigger at the same time, which is really difficult and upsetting. The sound of people eating potato chips or rice crackers is especially hard on me. Loud chewers are out of the question, but I think everyone finds it difficult. It's tough when there's no way to cope other than running away or distracting yourself.…

Honestly, whenever the season shifts, I get so anxious about Bella. If she catches even a little bug or gets sick, it feels like her health drops back a whole year, so I’m super cautious right now. I spent hours at the pet market today just looking for a cozy shirt for her. Navigated almost every shop and was ready to give up because nothing looked right, but I was determined not to go home empty-handed! Finally found this one and tried it on her as soon as we got back. What…

I was visiting my farm house and thought I'd give you a tour to meet the Quokkas. I love kangaroos so much, but since they are forest loving animals, keeping them as pets or at home is really difficult. Then my hubby friend told me about Quokkas how they carry their babies in their pouch and have habits just like kangaroos, so I decided to get them. Just last week, the mama Quokka gave birth, and she’s currently keeping her babies safe inside her pouch 🥰 If you're wondering…

@Britney_laurels

Today it rained super heavily here. I absolutely love how fresh and cool the weather gets after a good downpour, but there’s one habit I always follow as soon as the rain stops. Whenever it rains heavily, the ground gets completely soaked deep into the subsurface. Because of this, the burrows and underground homes of tiny insects and reptiles get totally flooded. To save themselves, all these little creatures come up to the surface right onto our lawns and gardens! So, as my…

@Britney_laurels

Met these tiny unexpected guests on my way to the market today. They completely made my day. Sometimes, it’s these little random moments of joy that turn out to be the most special.

@Britney_laurels

Big smile on the kids' faces today! Finalized a cute little fish aquarium for them, and they are absolutely loving it. Watching these colorful little swimmers move around has instantly become their new favorite thing! I added some vibrant fish and nice decorations to give them a cozy home. It’s super relaxing to watch and such a cool way for the kids to learn about pet care.

It turns out that some people with long hair find it inconvenient to choose integrated ear hook headphones when selecting sports headphones, not only because their hair interferes with the selection but even with separate ear hook headphones, the habit of tucking hair behind the ears can cause the headphones to bend or fall off, making them unpleasant to use. Therefore, they feel that the recently emerging clip on earphone styles are better. I haven't tried this clip on…

I went out with a friend to take pictures of the starry sky in the middle of the night. My friend's wide angle lens produced amazing results, while I tried to just randomly snap pictures with my phone. After my eyes adjusted to the darkness, the Milky Way was easily visible, a river of stars stretching across the sky. I saw a shooting star for the first time! Seeing the first one: Ahhhhhh, I quickly made a wish! But then: Oh no, not enough wishes...

@Britney_laurels

Today went out for a big grocery run and stocked up on all the household essentials! As I was heading out with all my bags, a tiny whimpering sound caught my attention. It was the shop owner’s sweet little dog, crying softly and clearly in a bit of discomfort. I couldn't just walk away. I sat down beside him, gave him some gentle belly rubs, and offered a soft hand shake. Within minutes, his tail started wagging and he gave me the sweetest, most comforting look! It reminded…
