a common feature in this emerging genre is the thinly veiled contempt that the administrative classes of institutions have toward their own students, and there's a simple explanation for this: those administrators see students chiefly as revenue streams rather than fully participating humans

i continue to be obsessed with tofu, in case you were wondering. dinner tonight was incredibly delicious theeburgerdude.com/marry-me-tofu/

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

NO WAIT NEVER MIND MY FAVORITE LET’S PLAYER JUST DROPPED CHRONO TRIGGER LET’S GOOOOOOOOO

woke up sick. might have to make some cinnamon rolls and rewatch widow’s bay to get through it

my dear friend has been dealing with a truly horrendous neighbor situation and it has led to unbelievable legal bills. i'm so angry!! i know money is so tight all around these days, but they're truly fighting the good fight against a real son of a bitch, so anything you can spare is so appreciated

kind of obsessed with this extremely pale pink, white, and darkest slate color combo (with the little pop of green from the tree behind? yes. yes!)

a couple of times this week i weaseled out of my meal plan, which was a nice change of pace, but now i’m facing down the first 2-3 days of the coming week *still* having lasagna and tacos to finish ;__;

sorry for slot, but this feels like a massive fumble on liverpool’s part #YNWA

today was the first day of new contract negotiations and it was cool to see so many of my coworkers wearing their shirts

pardon the worm dust on my shirt, but i hope you'll forgive it and enjoy the one and only time i'm likely to ever post my boob on the internet

fucking WHAT

mood

may have slightly miscalculated my meal plan this week. don’t get me wrong, i love lasagna and tacos, but i foresee that by sunday night i am going to be desperate for a bowl of broccoli or a nice green salad

i was going to do those blanket dumplings that tiktok lost its mind over, but realized the seitan wasn't going to hold together at all, so shifted to a sort of dumpling lasagna. it might not be pretty, but it was so delicious

double decker tacos, lasagna with spicy "meat" sauce, and some deeply under-seasoned seitan. i'm all cooked out for today

a dream! suddenly deeply regretting abandoning archaeology for history in my undergrad

really nice day of batch cooking for the week. in addition to a seitan pork for dumplings later this week, i made 3 pounds of thee burger dude’s ground “beef” tofu. one i made into tacos, one is in a lasagna that’s baking right now, and one is going into the freezer for whenever 🍽️🍜

sorry spam text, but i'm never going to stop lowkey mourning adam yauch and there's nothing you can do to help me with that

there are still good things in the world

first batch of seitan is begun 🍽️ 🍜

i’m a certified bread pervert, but sometimes for dinner i crave just a bowl of rice cooked in broth and sprinkled with parm. it’s a dish i lovingly call “rice flavor!"

A child is looking from a hole upon lots of destroyed books and asking What's this? "WAS IST DAS"? This is a 🔥 comment by the alchemist #Paracelsus about his battles with enemies. The destroyed medical books are the books of his enemies, and the boy looking is the audience judging the wrong authors

JUST KING THINGS has much things to discuss: old judges doing paperwork, the short fiction of Raymond Carver, a Kindle e-reader that warps reality, and of course, because it's Stephen King, an evil car! We read the 2015 short story collection, THE BAZAAR OF BAD DREAMS rangedtouch.com/2026/05/11/t...

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

just watching the highlights from today’s west ham/arsenal match and i’m amazed that this away kit was allowed! both teams are wearing the *exact* same shades of white and maroon, just reversed tops and shorts. it’s wildly visually muddled! wonder if any ref decisions will be impacted by it

my mom is just the coolest and best and i love her so much

i have procured The Favorite Toy and she's been on cloud nine all day (watch past halfway to see her smoke tabby coloring reveal itself when she stretches out)

Not me, laughing at this for 10 minutes straight.

this was such a promising start, but reader, i got cocky and decided to ink in the squares along the top and bottom of this panel without drafting them in pencil first. i have paused and will resume work (i mean start over) tomorrow.

just remembered that the burled forest near me was (according to reporting by atlas obscura) “pillaged” and is no longer really a thing you can go and experience. i was going to walk over later today and do some sketching for a stained glass window i’m designing, but now i’m just sad about it again

at least the music so far with this inaugural farmers market is a nice little irish quartet, fiddles and flutes

ma'am i have already fed you please im begging you just eat the food i give you

Come, come thou bleak December wind, And blow the dry leaves from the tree! Flash, like a Love-thought, thro' me, Death And take a [Farmer’s Market] that wearies me.

Widow's Bay is absolutely fabulous. Witty and downright hilarious, while also being scary--often in the same moment. Excellent acting and superb scripts. Really love it!

One of my least favorite things that influencer culture has done is make stuff for rich people too cool. There's always been luxury products, but now every product wants to be seen as luxury. Sounds silly, but it's why I have more respect for the wholesale brands these days. Costco has no airs.
