I mean the obvious solution is not hurling invectives at people who are trying to express a concern and exclusivity end dates yes?

“Number 6 is a gentleman from Mauritania” - never thought I’d hear that on an American TV show❤️🙏🏾 Or poulet yassa🍗 #Pluribus #VinceGilligan #AppleTV

Also, Ed's reasons for living are reinforced throughout the show. Like 2 of the paintings in 1x5 are from Schlesinger's senses series, touch and taste. We talked about this on the pod. I tried to link but I forget which of the 4 art eps we talked about it in podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/0...

This exactly. His reasons for living are the lowest level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs

OFMD loves, what's the last fic you read that surprised you? In a good way! Like, a fic that introduced an element or a story beat you weren't expecting, but ended up enjoying. Or a fic that subverted an expectation or a trope. If you'd slap a "certified fresh" label on it, I want to know about it!

My dog has decided he will no longer eat if his food isn't doctored. This is day 4 of him ignoring the food till I put something in it and then him wolfing it down so fast he gags. I keep thinking maybe it's that his tummy is upset but he eats so fast and eagerly once there is other stuff mixed in

@ericavee.bsky.social happy birthday!!!

This is the third morning in a row ben has refused to eat his breakfast and the third day in a row ive doctored his food to get him to eat. He does not do this with dinner. I realize he has now trained me to give him goodies in the morning 🤦‍♀️

Remember, if you accidentally misgender or deadname someone, it's very easy to just say "Shit, sorry," and then say the correct name or pronoun. The two important follow-ups are to not rend your garments and make it all about you and to then also make sure you work hard on not doing it again.

Also this one is def. Ed teach's knitting book

I finally cleared out a shelf downstairs for some of my knitting books (this is like 1/16th of my knitting books 😅) It makes me so happy to be able to reach them. These are my harder to find books (well some of them)

If only there was some novel virus that first came out around spring of 2020 with a high rate of disability with subsequent infections that could explain this

My kid decided she wanted to make caramel apples today so we made caramel apples! She had 1 bite and said "I just wanted to try them" 🤣🤣🤣 at least we got to make them together

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Decision Desk has called the NYC mayors race for Zohran Mamdani.

I took my kid and her friend to the movies and we stopped at 5 guys. Her friend had never seen peanuts in a shell before. He was VERY excited that something was in the shell and VERY disappointed that it was just a peanut 🤣

Im gonna be talking to @mariwho.bsky.social soon! Let me know if there is anything you'd like to ask her about her awesome fics!

I thought it might be fun to bring some of the smaller deep dives over here. The beginning of the art episode has a silly one i love We know Ned Low did 88 raids For the purposes of this Im assuming Ed did 89 raids We also know the raids were letters to Stede 1/ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/0...

I just finished this gorgeous story, words by @gelatinousstand.bsky.social and art by @villainousthoughts.bsky.social. Absolutely BLOWN away by how beautiful it is. Long story short, Ed and Stede belong together in and across every universe. Highly recommend. archiveofourown.org/works/661687...

Cw: animal death My parents dog died today. He'd been sick for 2 yrs&took a sudden turn last week after a cancer dx. Tmrw im taking my dog to the vet due to lumps in his throat. I made the apt for when my kid would be at school in case he got a cancer dx, and now I learn her school is closed tmrw.

It was a fucking hit. It was an anti Mamdani political hit.
