Purrl wants to be knit.

Yeah, like... try for a girls only or "just like old times" hang every once in a while!

I used to be able to find TEXT AND PICTURE tutorials for how to solve or mod any game and now they're all fucking videos.

exactly. The isolation enables the abuse.

When I read the first news story I was like "well MINIMUM they have been habitually using their fans for deeply discounted labor, this makes every other accusation of coercion extremely credible."

God damn I used to wake up to ESSAY responses to comments and posts.

Ah, the joys of salivary bacterial exchange

I learned it pretty late, to post sims screenshots on Livejournal.

I pretty much always eat the same breakfast, because I need breakfast to be a zombie meal. I am not human before the sun comes up.

I'm jealous, because today I pipetted and answered the phone.

Honestly your sheep stories have been very useful at my job as a vet labtech.

The only inherent drawback in the concept is needing specific cookware, trapping you into buying cookware new... but in execution, oh boy are there drawbacks!

Things I have learned in the new year so far:

- Vegan waffles have no structural integrity
- My mother needs a health literacy course

If you get stuff (eggs for me) stuck on the bottom your cast iron skillet, boil a thin layer of water in it to loosen the crud. Just remember to re-oil when putting the pan away.

Sister in Law: So we made vegan cheesecake last night out of the book you bought your brother
Me: and how did that work?
My brother: I had no idea how hard it was to get agar to set, so... it's vegan custard.

Me, my mom, and my brother's fiance are planning to spend the day shouting CHEESECAKE until my brother makes some, so...

I walk very badly and even I know "walkable cities" does not mean that your only option is walking! The transit she mentions is a huge part of it!

It sank!

And instead of doing that, they're going to the moon

Today on anime night with @shmarr.bsky.social: these reverted to stone age people are going to need to re-invent therapy.

Because they're farming engagement from the Oliver fans coming to hit them with pitchforks

the physical therapist may have instructed me a decade and change ago to not actually cook my foot with massagers or electric blankets...

If I had to guess, battery life? Heating up? Which are plausible for the difference between a hospital grade item and a consumer one.
