Fascinating read, tagging for this week’s #DigitalFriday

Pizza Lasagna 2.0 — now with a layer of spaghetti carbonara* as well as the 8-hour ragu. I hope my kids appreciate me following through with their cockamamie culinary fever dreams. *Obviously not 100% authentic as I suspect that would turn nasty in the oven, but close enough to stay true.

Hungry, Hungry Carnivore has caught something far bigger than its usual prey and I am fascinated by this bug battle.

Sunday morning chilli oil. As my kiddos have a severe peanut allergy and a hunger for new delicious foods, I'm learning to do everything from scratch. It's awesome.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Possibly the coolest venue this year in the #Edinburh Fringe is the actually submerged submarine in the port of Leith. A bit far out, but definitely worth the trek. Here are some of my favourites in their programme 👇🏻 #DareToDiscover #edfringe

my personal mouth/scream rankings: 1. I Have A Mouth And I Don't Have To Scream 2. I Have A Mouth And I Must Scream 3. I Have No Mouth And I Don't Have To Scream 4. I have No Mouth And I Must Scream

After playing the Horror at HighRook, I am revisiting this idea.

Been experimenting with soy curing egg yolks. These things are decadent AF. #food

Sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re ‘unmotivated’ or ‘undisciplined.’ You’re just fried. Nervous system absolutely cooked. Brain melted. Running on fumes. And no, another morning routine, habit tracker, or biohacking podcast isn’t gonna fix it. You need actual rest. Connection. Safety. Time.

Absolute vibe.

What if Kitchen Nightmares... Was a #ttrpg? And your GM was Ramsey And the players were as a new rotation of annoying, problem filled, messes of staff each week? Sound fun? molomoot.itch.io/serving-up-d...

Can anyone recommend good independent opticians in Edinburgh? #Edinburgh, if that helps visibility.

Never thought I'd get these through the door. Not letting their ill-fated journey from 2020 Kickstarter dampen my excitement over such lush editions of my two favourite collections of weird. @mattmbartlett.bsky.social , @grimscribepress.bsky.social - You are truly dapper chaps to get this sorted!

Is there a new Instal on the shores of the Black Sea? A total immersive physical theatre / post-metal 3-day ritual thing going on in some ice caves somewhere? A series of marionette adaptations of Maldoror in Saxony? Please tell me!

I haven't left the country in about 7 years and now that I have a UK passport, I can probably do so with a lot less hassle. What cool art/sound festivals/galleries/happenings are on (anywhere) around Autumn that I could build a trip around?

Not quite the originally planned pizza lasagna, but 9yo's two-layer pizza is ludicrously outstanding.

Guess who strayed from the path without considering how fast dusk is settling.

Bet you sickos would love to read a twisted story told in twisted ways. Well I am very pleased to have something in this collection of "quiet horrors".

With sympathies to the delivery folk, a pretty awesome day for getting cool books in the post. Can I just take a day off work to read? FTW: @headpress.com , MonkeyDM, Alan Moore,
