It's time for another recipe thread! Every day in June I'll share a drink, appetizer, or party snack from my collection of vintage and branded cookbooks. And yes, that includes some unhinged patriotic desserts. Stock up on Jell-O, soften some cream cheese, and let's get this party started!

My body hit me with an entirely new kind of headache in the middle of the night, and honestly I'm kind of impressed she can still surprise me after all these years.

It's a hell of a time to be an unemployed creative who has a zero-tolerance policy for AI. It feels like a game of chicken where at the end I will either find an ethical company to work for or I will be brought before the council and rendered obsolete.

THE THING (1982)

There's an AI slop ad that's been stalking us on YouTube and I just screamed, "Oh god, the horse is back!" and my husband was yelling back, "Just hang in there, I can almost skip it!" with genuinely frantic urgency and truly I cannot wait for this fucking bubble to burst already.

Hello, gorgeous

If you're wondering how long my family holds on to things, last night my dad, completely unprompted, brought up the fact that he got knocked out of the 6th grade spelling bee on the word "flocculent."

Since I couldn't find enough weird patriotic recipes to fill the month, I'm going with a summer party vibe theme. Starting tomorrow, I'll share a vintage or branded recipe each day for a drink/appetizer with weird Americana desserts sprinkled in the mix (spoiler: there's lots of Jell-O).

It's one Mandalorian, Michael, how much could it cost, $10?

Someone bought two of these shirts last night and I'm dying to know if they're going to be worn by some besties to their high school reunion. If that's actually the case and you see this post, please do share a photo with me! 👉 www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/5734...

I was reminded of THE MYSTERIES OF HARRIS BURDICK recently, and had find a copy. I would check this out of the library all the time as a kid, scouring the pages for details and writing short stories to pair with the pictures. I think I might try writing from it again and see what I come up with.

Someone replied to this post on Threads with, "She's giving them her cookies," and I think that pretty much sums up the vibe over there.

Who do I talk to at Nintendo about converting my Bells into USD? The cutthroat capitalist raccoon who runs my Animal Crossing island gives me a better interest rate than my bank and I have bills to pay.

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

Spending a few days in a cool, dark basement with as much lotion as I can rub on my skin sounds pretty appealing, actually.

So, my dad just told me he found a gargoyle in their house and he doesn't remember it being there before... Is it a cursed object or a shapeshifter? I feel like I need to prepare for both possibilities because he said he wants to bring it over to show me. 😬

It's #WorldDraculaDay, so naturally the PR guys who bought Hammer are yet again perpetuating the lie that Christopher Lee was the first Dracula to show fangs on the big screen (he was not). 🙄 Want to learn the real story? We have a book for that: www.atbpublishing.com/product/coun...
