You bastards made the first five minutes of UP and you expect us to believe you’re worried about the audience needing therapy?

Ashley and I do the same thing but it's usually Gilmore Girls references and the boys just go "stop"

On weekends, Kevin, Stepkid and I all go out for breakfast and play Pokemon Go.

STEPKID: Jeez, it’s like a monster party here.
ME: They did the Mash.
KEVIN: *mouth full* Eh id ta mohsta mah
ME: It was a graveyard smash!
KEVIN: Eh mohsta mah!
STEPKID: *silent headshake*

A mockup of a hardback of The Raven and the Reindeer. It is snazzy and has printed edges.

I felt proud of my Alabama poetry peeps at AWP. We have a lovely, supportive community. We all do different things; we’re not in competition and we move in different circles, but we’re also not genre/aesthetic snobs, but respect each others’ differences. It’s a sweet, chill scene.

okay.

does anybody have an idea how to make beef & black currant sausages more interesting? does it need to be more interesting? I'm thinking thyme and onions really cooked down.

also, I've decided on chicken satay sausages. but Google is failing me.

should I put peanut butter or just powder

If you're going to be a One Nation splinter party, you might as well try to be more One Nation than One Nation, and the constant defections and fractiousness of Sarah Game's Fair Go for Australians is certainly achieving that!

I've lived in Australia for over 28 damn years and THIS is how I discover that "pottle" and "peaknuckle war" are Kiwi-isms nobody else says?

my sourdough that I started using the process @jbbartram.bsky.social sent me feels a lot better than my other ones have. I'm going to pull it out of the oven where it's been fermenting before I go to bed, and I'm doing to shape it and put it in the banetton then bake it first thing tomorrow morning

I took about an inch too much out of the sleeves and made them about an inch shorter than I could have. So I can't wear the sleeves rolled up with a hoodie.. but I don't actually like doing that anyways.

I can wear a hoodie just fine when the sleeves are rolled down

"finished cuffs"

the cuffs mostly look good but the fact it's they're too small, like there's not enough fabric. so I'm going to cut up some work pants so I can make cuffs that dont require pleats.

the colours won't exactly match, but I'll wear them rolled up most of the time anyways

hate myself

not for anything, but Committees of Safety/Bonds of Association, &c were established precedent in English history prior to 1776; indeed, they were the 'go-to' during times when people (as Anglo-Americans did in 1776) feared they were in a state of nature

💢 “Black rain” and “nuclear winter” effect reported in Tehran after Israeli strikes on oil facilities

▪️ Israeli strikes on oil depots around Tehran have released massive quantities of toxic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Mixed with rainwater, these chemicals are causing highly acidic precipitation that can cause skin burns and severe lung damage upon contact, according to Iranian authorities.

▪️ Dense plumes of black smoke from the Shahran and other refineries have blotted out the sun, plunging parts of the city into darkness and creating a "nuclear winter" effect, NYT reported. Authorities warned that these noxious fumes cause acute respiratory distress and eye irritation.

▪️ Oil-saturated rainwater has blanketed the city, leaving rooftops, balconies, and streets covered in a thick, murky black liquid and oily soot. This contamination poses a long-term risk of heavy metals like nickel and vanadium leaching into the soil and local water systems.
▪️ Environmental groups warn the pollution threatens migratory birds crossing the Persian Gulf. The "black rain" and smoke plumes can cause internal organ damage and destroy the insulating properties of bird feathers, leading to hypothermia and death.

The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned of the dangers of the rain, advising residents to protect themselves and to cover exposed food from oily soot particles. Officials said the rain is highly corrosive and could potentially damage civilian structures.

I did two (2) tours today, and both of them were super great (altho the second one went long, oops, sorry). Haven't done a 2-tour day since undergrad, I think, and I don't particularly want to do it again any time soon, but it worked out just fine
