It was difficult, haha. If I could, I would have walked out with every single one of the cats. She just spoke to me. Literally. When I walked into the cat room, she took one look at me and wouldn’t stop meowing. I spoke to the front desk about adopting her and found out that she was a stray that was caught the day prior and that I’d have to wait two weeks until she could come home with me. I decided to wait and came back two weeks later to take her to her forever home.

Would you mind elaborating on PieFed vote quotas? I haven’t heard about that.

Salvia and DMT are fucking nuts. I saw a door turn into a face that started laughing at me while everything around me turned into the most vividly real cartoon.

It literally is called the Threadiverse. The terminology predates Threads as a platform.

I was specifically talking about the subsection of the Fediverse that structures itself similarly to reddit (e.g. Lemmy, piefed, mbim, etc).

That’s been a staple as of late. Chickpeas are adored in this house :)

I’ve wanted to read the series for a while, but getting into it seems so intimidating because of just how much Sir Terry wrote. Do you have a good starting recommendation?

Depends where you are. In America, yes. The term is associated with freak shows and traveling circuses. Nowadays, both ‘little person’ and ‘dwarf’ are acceptable terms, although they might not necessarily fit within your story if you want to avoid modern-sounding language/terms that already apply to another species in your story.

Le Guin is phenomenal. Her acceptance speech at the 65th National Book Awards makes me tear up to this day.

“Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom — poets, visionaries — realists of a larger reality.”

Edit: Here’s the full speech if anyone is interested in listening to it. It’s only six minutes and well-worth it.

Oh hey! I actually made that for her on our first date. Thanks for the suggestion :)

That’s extremely useful! Thanks :)

Jesus fucking Christ. The only thing keeping me going at this point is the pure hatred towards the people who support the current American regime.

I used the Korean BBQ flavor Beyond Meat Steak Tips!

My girlfriend has been vegan since she was very young, and I went vegetarian (working on cutting dairy and eggs out) about a month and a half ago. I don’t usually go for imitation meat, but I’ve been having meat cravings so decided to give them a shot and they turned out to be shockingly similar in taste/texture to the real deal. Highly recommend trying some if your local supermarket stocks any.

I fried it up until crispy with some garlic, jalapenos, and homemade gochujang sauce to add a little more flavor. Turned out pretty well :)

Uhhhhh long story 😅

I’m assuming Daniel Warren Johnson decided to keep it uncolored because otherwise it’d blend in too well with the Atlantic ¯\(ツ)/¯

His heart is in the right place at least

It’s an edited panel from a short story collection called Superman Red and Blue. The only colors that the artists could use were red and blue.

Teleportation. Imagine being able to go anywhere in the world on a whim. There’d be no travel time, no transport costs, no barriers stopping you. You could literally go anywhere and do (almost) anything.

ye

i second this

Fuck Prabhakar Raghavan and fuck the capital class whose search for eternal growth has completely wrecked every part of our society.
