what are your favorite herbs and spices and why are they bay leaf, nutmeg and fenugreek

One of the many exhausting things about capitalism is it doesn’t facilitate taking on pro-bono work or even spec work for something you’re really passionate about with no budget. A lot of the work I do “for free” is the most satisfying to me but I can only do it because of my day job.

Color trend prediction: The Resistance reclaims the color orange.

Did my first show as a theatre stage manager tonight and I was sooo nervous but it went well. :’)

General Strike tomorrow. Don't do NOTHIN'. 🖕🧊🔥

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

If conservatives cared about children they’d stop buying SUVs and F150s.

the actual solution to the trolley problem is that a workers party has risen to power that will charge ceos with manslaughter if their employees die from unsafe conditions and then no one is working on an actively used trolley track

If you are an adult that “still feels like a kid,” may I recommend spending more time around actual children. Like just go to the library or park and spend time with the children in your life. Exist in public spaces with children. Nothing will remind you of your adulthood like actual children.

As I get older the more I realize I really do need a different notebook for every topic/project. One size fits all does not work for me actually.

I didn’t cook a lot for fun in 2025 until the past two weeks during which I have made like 5 soups. Soup is healing.

If you want a good non-Christmas show to throw on with your older parents, Derry Girls has been very successful with mine!!

“Relationships take hard work” is commonly misunderstood I think as being about the external work, putting up with or compromising, “settling,” which sure, it is sometimes… but it’s definitely more about the internal work of being worthy of space near folks with who you find an effortless existence.

Ooops started drawing comics again in my free time :)

Is tiramisu a salad or a sandwich?

STILL MISSING!! The first grader has been separated from his dad for almost a week, following ICE abducting them for the third time this year! ICE refuses to disclose the 6 yr old’s location. WHERE IS YUANXIN? Call your Reps & ask them to pressure ICE/DHS to reunite Fei & Yuanxin & release them!

Currently fantasizing about starting a county recycling system, becoming the most boring person on earth, but also it’s mech doggy themed (because white people with money love dogs, and we all love mechs)

Jesus to his disciples:

Oh if you were wondering my Pantone color of the year guess, it’s a black-green and it’ll be black algae theme, or a dark aquatic/plankton type deal. Deeeeeep deep green.

I went to Portland for a week and came back to 44 eggs on our counter and another dozen in the fridge. So I’m making quiches and frozen egg bites. Deviled eggs in a few weeks…

"touch grass" is bad advice. i am allergic to grass and it's a huge waste of water. we should instead be touching desert-friendly xeriscaping

Millenialism is proximity to vine.

I hate this fucking country. Something something that poem about kids in the burning haunted house.

I’ve seen multiple instances of PHD holding experts with large followings have willfully misinterpreted a thing in order to be angry and nasty to one of their followers and that shit has got to stop. I expect better from you. Knock it off.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

We think as we get better at something there will be less critique but actually there is more. There is never a point where you / your work will be universally loved. Instead, as your skill increases so does the skill of your audience in understanding your work and being critical of it.

When parents raise you to care about other people and then are shocked when, as adults, you care about other people.

I’m supposed to finally meet all my remote coworkers after three years working with them and if that gets messed up because of an insurrection I’m gonna be soooo mad.

I love to work from home because no one can see me stimmimg my ass off.

If anyone truly loved him they’d be trying to get him in a hospital under full care because it’s so obvious how sick he is, but there’s not a soul on earth who cares so we all get to suffer.

I was the producer on this collection! ❤️ Working with Kevin was a dream of mine. I am humbled by and grateful for the opportunity.

The key thing that studies show is one group is “I understand morals and right/wrong exist and act in line with what I consider right” and the other group is “I understand morals and right/wrong exist but act in line with my personal interests” and the second group thinks they are equally moral.

Love to pay off debt and watch my credit score tank. How could I be so irresponsible 😔

This spider keeps building her web across our front door and I’m like GIRL. Please. Anywhere else. I feel so bad destroying her work.

🔥 The world’s top climate scientists have found that global warming is accelerating. Oceans are rising faster than ever, and the 1.5°C target is slipping away, but there’s still a narrow path forward. #ClimateAction

I went to the local pride yesterday and half the tents were just… churches. Churches showing up and going out of their way to support and making it part of their identity. In the current climate it was really beautiful and I honestly got emotional.

Waiting for men to save you will kill you,

Submit a bunch of paintings to a local gallery call for entries, fingers crossed!!! And they aren’t online at all. I have like five paintings going at a time rn. And none of it is online. I feel so powerful.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

My feed is almost entirely people condemning violence and telling others not to celebrate this.

3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

please do not post things you don’t want to see on The Free Press and Fox News later this evening

I have finally shipped all the boxes of gifts to people that has been piling up for… THREE years.
