I haven't listened to that.

I need to follow in your steps.

😍

Amazing choice 10/10.

That'd be so amazing. And now I really want you to go to Catalonia if you haven't been yet!

🖤

I know you adore Korean food, that'd be a great choice!

Periodic fun question (for me, that is!): imagine you could go anywhere for your birthday, 7-10 days. Where would you go this year?

If you are over here, you were never one of the cool kids but knew how to find a good group and not give a shit about the rest. Or you’re a lib resist bot. Those are the only two bsky types. Oh, and the creators/admins who also were not cool but gave a shit and tried too hard.

Her face! Her paws! 😭😍

Fatwa! The Musical

What kind of restaurant is that? Hawaiian, Korean..? (@unlawfulentries.bsky.social)

I'm not being truthful—I can eat a fugg-ton of eggplant any which way. But this is a good way for those who are less eggplant-friendly and still have the odd one in the fridge.

Close up of pad gaprao made with lots of Chinese eggplant cut up in triangles. Some of the purple is retained, we see crumbles of tofu and ground chicken, wilted Thai basil, red bird's eye chili and vibrant green scallions for a pop of color.

Black bowl of plant-based dan dan noodles from an old VeganAugust Chinese feast. Recipe I always use is Fuchsia Dunlop's from Every Grain of Rice, very similar to this one; last night I used cabbage as well, but fresh shiitake (chopped) and no tofu. https://thesatedvegan.com/blog/dan-dan-noodles

Link to basically what I did last night in the ALT.

No broth in dan dan mian 🤷🏼‍♀️

Several freshly bottled jars of Seville orange marmalade arranged on a rustic wooden farm table. The set is bright and clear, some made with Doorly’s rum, others with Glenfiddich Scotch. The jars are still new from the pot, light catching the peel, ready for toast.

End of Seville season. Last batch set last week.
Doorly’s rum in some, Glenfiddich Scotch in others.
Bitterness first, sweetness after. As it should be. 🍊🥃

After many unsettling dreams-nearly-nightmares last week, I slept on my bed last night and dreamed about baking pastries.

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Shit is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if y'all are in shit like me
Come on and let it show

Thanks folks, nothing’s wrong with me, I'm just outraged and despairing like pretty much all of us, and having to deal with unsavory drama around me on top of it.

Just got home. Made myself a bowl of dan dan noodles with charred cabbage and shiitake, which always hold up admirably when I'm away for a few days. No photo, you've seen it so often. Perfect for #MeatlessMonday or any day indeed.

Livid. Terrified. Choking. Paralyzed. That's what's up, BlueSky.

Onryōtan (Tales of Vengeful Spirits) is a collaboration between Belgian sound artist Empusae (Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe) and Japanese composer Maris Anguis (Ryo Utasato). The album draws on Japanese folk horror and ritual traditions: seven pieces shaped by authentic legends of yōkai, onryō, and ancestral rites. Each track embodies a story — from the demon crone Kurozuka, to the curse-hour of Ushi no Koku, the ghost-fires of Mukaebi, the abyss of Eien no Yami, the eyeless Tenome, the blood rite of Chimatsuri, and the relentless haunting of Teke Teke. Through layers of dark ambient textures, ritual voices, and rhythm-driven passages, Onryōtan becomes less an album than a procession: a cycle of encounters with spirits who never rest, where every sound bears the weight of fear, grief, and eternal night. released February 24, 2026

I sat next to two techbros trying to chat up two girls who were very clearly not interested by boasting about their investments and how much they could make in a single transaction. The girls took off. They stayed at the bar, continued talking about $ loudly, then left a 5 cent tip 🤡🔪

This cracks me up every time 🤣

My friends, I can't tell you just how much Men Do. Not. Like. That.

Now, this is perhaps conceited of me, but a guy whose main goal is to impress me into wows and fluttering lashes has it extremely difficult, because I have lived, read, traveled, observed, and listened, way more than they have, and this was already true in my 30s. I am a Replier. I have opinions.

I realize now that I was not so unpalatable as my personal life made me believe that I was all through my 20s & 30s. Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, guys would try to strike up "conversation" in bars. They always made it about Their Admirable Feats. They never wanted responses, only to impress.

(This always results in several followers responding "Oh But I Do". If this is you: good for you. I'm sure your partner is amazingly smart and interesting. Not all men, but YES, the vast majority of men, and this truth is so uncomfortable to guys.

Now that this is out of the way, let's go on.)
