Rich people be like I don't have a smartphone. I have a full-time secretary (she has four smartphones).

when someone tries to tell me abt wattpad, but i was on it before there was a premium option, it had no ads, authors posted new chapters at 3am, the comment section was easily pushing 100+ under an hr, mafia troupes were taking over rankings, & 1D was buying me every other story

A 17-year-old in Iowa boiled beets in her chemistry class and turned them into stitches that change color when your wound gets infected. Her name is Dasia Taylor. It started as a science fair project.

She wanted a low-tech version of the "smart stitches" Tufts researchers built in 2016. Those used thread wired up with sensors and a tiny chip that pinged your phone if something went wrong. Cool, but useless without a phone or a hospital that can afford it.

Her version doesn't need any of that. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, like lemon juice but much milder. When bacteria grow in a wound, the chemistry flips and turns more like soap or baking soda.

Beet juice has a quirk. The same red pigment that stains your fingers when you cook it shifts color based on what it touches. Bright red on healthy skin. Dark purple on infected skin. The switch lines up with infection almost exactly.

She tested ten threads before finding a cotton-polyester blend that soaked up the dye and changed color within five minutes. That was the prototype.

Around 1 in 40 American surgeries end in an infection at the cut, costing hospitals more than $3 billion a year. In poorer countries the rate is closer to 1 in 9. In parts of Africa it's 1 in 6. In some Ethiopian hospitals, up to a quarter of surgery patients leave with an infection.

The whole game is catching it early. Spot it in time and antibiotics handle it. Miss the window and the patient is back on the operating table.

Dasia filed a patent in 2021 and started a medical device company called VariegateHealth in 2022. The stitches haven't been tested on real patients yet. New medical device patents can take a decade. She's also looking into a side benefit: the beet pigment kills bugs like E. coli and Klebsiella in lab tests.

Smart stitches need a phone to read them. Hers just need eyes.

They are pricing us out of life and y’all solution is just to lock in and make more money.

I rarely taste my food while cooking, I cook entirely on confidence and vibes so the finished product is always a surprise to me as much as it is to you.

If you eat my food and something is wrong, please know that I am also a victim and we are in this together.

Someone is recommending your name in rooms you don’t have access to yet. Keep working and believe in God.

I found a beautiful verse in Isaiah 46:4.
I have made you. I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

Nobody talks about how humbling it is to return. Again. Same prayer. Same apology. Same grace. But God never says, “Didn’t we already do this?” He receives you every time like it’s the first. Grace isn’t fragile. It was built with your weakness in mind.
