The Abominable Dr. Vibes

I regularly socialize with people 20 years younger and 30 years older than me and all in between, it’s actually cooler as you age because age matters less and you meet people who just like doing things you like doing

I wouldn’t say it’s protecting against chafing, per se, but yeah

That sounds pretty good

At least half the reviews for the tape on Amazon are people using it for binding

A roll of beige tape and a pack of nipple covers

I love that I can get my preferred binding supplies as “kinesiology tape” and “nipple covers for jogging men”

Look at this soft fuzzy boy

Turkey pot pie

I mean I’m making this one again next week but also I could make a cherry pie or a mushroom pie

I am no longer scared of making a pie and will likely make more pies in the near future

Custard pie with a perfect golden brown top

Same pie but with a layer of ganache added

Three slices left, revealing the inner layer with chunks of Berger cookie studding the custard

Putting the Berger cookie pie in this thread. It’s really spectacular

It just started here and I’m sitting right by the corner of the house where, outside, I have a rain barrel that is currently upside down (to keep it empty during freezing weather) and the rain on it is LOUD

I have not, but have played a couple other from the same designer (Root and Arcs)

A board game tile reading SUMMER HOUSE Romantic Rendezvous A Gentleman and a Lady (unrelated)

Got the slut house in the regency game

AMAZING

Wait I want this what is this

Coming down with a nasty case of hot stones

I might try it! I always have 100 proof around for cleaning

No this is the first crust I’ve made! I used apple cider vinegar

This rules. It’s over the top but it’s Berger cookies so that’s fine. The crust is Hashtag Fine, nothing amazing but not bad

This sounds like a “feed me pie”

Beloved lepidopterist Kevin dissects some noctuid genitalia in the Visible Lab, which he has decorated to look like the penalty box at a hockey game. He is wearing a Pens jersey and a hockey helmet while he looks thru the microscope.

I thought our new “visible lab” space felt like a petting zoo but @mothpotato.bsky.social had a much better idea

The pie from a couple posts up but now with a glossy chocolate ganache on top

Nvm look at this ganache (applied about an hour ago so should be set by the time we’re ready for it in a couple hours)

EXACTLY

Obviously anyone who knows me at all is going to guess correctly that my favorite is Macbeth, also a big fan of King Lear and Julius Caesar, pretty much anything where someone gets horribly betrayed tbh

In a 90s Disney movie!

The “three against five?” “Four against five” scene in The Three Musketeers is one of the finest early examples of Dudes Rock

That crust is not pretty but I don’t think anyone is going to notice. I’m now second-guessing the ganache because that browning is so beautiful

Folks,

That movie came out when I would have been in the intended age range, 11 or 12, and it’s probably just as well I didn’t see it until adulthood because it would have simply accelerated way way too many things to see it during puberty
