I drive by Stuff’d all the time and it’s a running joke between me and the husband that it must be front. There is never anyone there. Ever. I have not witnessed a single car parked there. No employees or customers.

A nice balsamic vinaigrette or, if it must be creamy, Caesar. I’m not big fan of creamy generally, but a good traditional Caesar cuts through the cream nicely.

I just need to get through next week when I can go pick up my new planters, yet it insists on raining on my poor tiny garden all fucking week!

"Oh my God, you're a drug dealer." "No, no, no, please. I'm a shaman." "Is that cocaine?" "Yes."

Got up early to make smoothies and was planning to enjoy mine up with the plants, but alas. The first day I finally get my ass out of bed to do this right, it’s fucking surprise raining.

no one can stop you from creating nasty little recipes, forging new frontiers in fusion cuisine. you can combine doro wat and red beans & rice. you can put 43 cloves of garlic in it. it’s actually completely legal to eat a ton of spicy hard boiled eggs. the government has no power over onions.

I listened to this today and it was great! You should too!

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

I spent years working this out with the husband’s family and then his sister had a baby and we’re back to square fucking one.

look if you want to experience bluesky's attempt to recreate the good days of twitter you have to put up with the site not working a lot and also everyone hates the mods

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.

Bacon, eggs over medium, hash browns, and toast to dip in my egg yolks. OJ and coffee. Gotta have coffee.

I know I said it was okay that Hacks is ending and it was time. I was wrong. I’m not ready and I’m going to miss this show so fucking much. Nothing else is close to this well written. There’s no replacement.

I refuse to engage with the Avatar franchise.

Welp, there goes my last reason for watching The Boys. I’ll finish the season, cause it’s so close to done, and it’s past time to be done.

TV catchup day was going great until I decided to check out the Punisher special 1) ANIMAL VIOLENCE WARNING! 2) People do not act like that. I’ve lived in the 4th largest city in the US my entire life and I’ve never witnessed random violence like that. We have plenty here, but it’s always personal

How do we feel about the fluted furniture that’s popular right now? I really like the look, and this tv stand. But the fluted look is so popular now I’m worried in 10 years it will be very obvious I decorated this place in 2026.

Trying again! Last time we drank too much at the ballpark and couldn’t stop talking. It’s going much better this time!

It’s that time again. Gotta figure out what to cook this week. I definitely need to roast a chicken so I can make more stock. I used up my last batch on my red beans and rice. But I also kinda want to make meatballs…

This is what happens when all the good critics at real publications get laid off and the territory of criticism is ceded to morons on TikTok and YouTube that can’t parse a text beyond what they learned in high school English courses (where I’m told they now read one book a year!)

Can't we just enjoy a rodent eating a vegetable and not have the conversation revolve around US politics?

So the fertility rate discourse is gross, but I feel I should toss in some of what I learned in my behavioral economics/communications education. If you want to persuade someone to do something, the best way is to make it easier than not doing it. We humans love a path of least resistance.

They tried to trick me by moving Pop Culture Jeopardy to Netflix from Prime, but I found it and I am locked in! Also if this Pig category doesn’t have a question about the D’Onofrio tweet, we riot.

Look, I’ve been yelled at by a lot of vegans this week, but this Texan still has no problem with vegans!

No one tell my oncologist about this. He’d have a stroke.

Also in my Top 10 all time

These mother fuckers are so evil they’re making me defend Christopher fucking Nolan, a director I generally do not enjoy! His movies are like a dumb person’s idea of a smart person movie and I find that fucking irritating!

Fucking reactionaries know nothing about history and flatly refuse to learn. Which is weird since they want to go backwards so badly.

We are starting Widow’s Bay and I promise I will try to be cool about my internet boyfriend, Matthew Rhys. I will try.

Happy Thursday phone friends! ⚾️

Social media pro-tip: reply to posts with the intention of starting a conversation when the account is a person, and write it as though you would be saying it to their face in person.

praise the lord

Picked out some outdoor chairs, a table, and some nice containers for my roof garden today. Hopefully I will be able to pick them up next weekend and actually be able to hang out up there really soon! I can’t wait!

The crowning achievement of Cajun week, my red beans and rice! I’m glad I had beer to go with this cause my mouth is still burning. Yum! 🍜🍽️

Looking to talk to one or two queer / trans people who moved from Texas to Seattle because of anti-LGBTQ+ laws passed in Texas for a short piece today. Lmk if that's you, dms are open and my signal is kissphoria.57

It begins! Tomorrow I am making red beans and rice.

I know I say this every time a food post gets big, but it is truly insane what people on here think it’s ok to say to strangers!

The thing about you being on Bluesky is that if you personally posted better every single problem in the world from war to poverty would be solved

I’m glad people enjoyed that sandwich post, and that I’d already decided on leftovers for tonight. Cause I think that sandwich filled me up too much for dinner.

I’ve leveled up my usual sandwich! Pepper turkey on wheat with chipotle gourmaise, romaine, pepper jack cheese, pepper bacon, tomatoes, and avocado, rounded out with a little garlic salt and pepper. Yum! #SandwichSky

Every day when I start yoga, the instructor tells us to set a positive intention for our practice, like “I’d like to feel more limber” or “I want to connect with myself.” Mine is literally always lunch. “When I get through this I’m going to be so hungry for that sandwich.” Whatever works, right?

People are weird sometimes if you don't have kids, they're like what about having a legacy, and I just point to my box of various wires and power cables

How come whenever someone fails to kill the president, the whole conservative establishment blames us for correctly labeling him a fascist, but when trans women are murdered there isn’t a single call to “tone down the rhetoric?”

Where did he get a significant sample size of sperm counts from teenage boys in the 70s? And a comparable recent sample to compare it to? Docs test sperm count if you’re not getting your woman pregnant. It’s not something teen boy’s pediatricians do for fun.

I’m sorry, I haven’t been online at all today. “Under-babied!?”

It’s supposed to be sunny tomorrow finally and it better be. I need a sunny fucking day so badly. Weather doesn’t usually get me like this but it’s been unrelenting and it’s sapped all my energy.

Cajun week starts out strong! Fried catfish, southern style green beans, and maque choux. Yum! 🍽️🍜

My maque choux is looking so fucking good. All the veggies are in but the corn, and the last 2 tbsps of butter.

I’ve been so fucking good today! I watered my plants, went for groceries and bought half the produce section, put it all away and cleaned out the fridge. Plus I started the dough for tomorrow’s baguettes, and made absurdly healthy smoothies for lunch! I feel virtuous!
