The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it.

Like ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the world. But it’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now your foot’s warm.

Checkmate, nihilism.

This is how I feel about cooking sometimes.

Maybe I can’t fix everything – hell, maybe I can’t fix anything – but look, I made soup; look, I made bread; look, now there’s dinner.
